⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5‑Star Ride at SkyHelix Sentosa – A Sky‑High Treat for Families!
Our family had an absolutely magical time aboard SkyHelix Sentosa, a scenic open‑air gondola ride soaring up to 79 metres above sea level, offering uninterrupted 360° views of Sentosa, Keppel Bay and the Southern Islands .
From the moment we stepped in, the thrill set in—not only do your feet dangle freely, but there’s a gentle spiral motion to the ascent and descent that lasts about 12 minutes, with roughly 10 minutes at the peak soaking up the views and breeze . The fresh sea air, cool wind in the hair, and the serene panorama made for incredible family selfies at sunset.
Each ticket included a complimentary non‑alcoholic drink or souvenir, and our family happily chose drinks—mocktails crafted by the Dusk Bar team that were tasty, refreshing, and a fun perk to enjoy mid‑air . A snack bar onsite also offered pastries, juices, and light bites if you want something extra before your flight .
Our ride host was warm, engaging, and even helped us take photos while pointing out landmarks—not to mention cracking a few jokes to keep the mood light and fun (). The entire experience felt effortless—from photo ops to boarding, we felt well‑looked after.
A few important notes:
• While the ride is family‑friendly, there’s a height minimum (1.05 m) and young children must be accompanied by an adult .
• Lines can get long during peak times and line management could be smoother—online booking is a smart way to skip the queue .
• On particularly windy days, avoid loose items like hats or selfie sticks—and remember to secure your camera wrist strap or phone .

👍 Highlights:
• Mesmerizing 360° views at 79 m elevation—city, sea, islands and jungle all in one sweeping glance.
• Family‑friendly experience with safety, snacks, souvenirs, and hosts who make it truly engaging.
• Evening rides lit up with LED lights add extra sparkle to Sentosa’s skyline post‑sunset  .
👎 Minor Quirks:
• Occasional long waits if you haven’t pre-booked—line management could use improvement.
• Seating arrangement faces inward so neck‑twisting is needed to catch the best views (some reviewers found this awkward) ().
