5 things to know about taking the cable car across Sentosa

When was the last time you experienced the thrill of a cable car ride?

While there are several ways to reach the sunny shores of Sentosa, from the speedy monorail to a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk, there’s something special about the cable car that should not be overlooked.

Linking HarbourFront, Mount Faber and Sentosa Island, it offers convenience with a side of breathtaking views.

Here are five reasons why there’s no better time than now to hop on board.

It’s a scenic escape from everyday

The cable car is a delightful respite from the hustle and bustle of life. Picture-perfect views unfold before your eyes, from lush greenery and towering buildings to the sweeping sea.

A round trip takes 30 to 40 minutes, giving visitors the opportunity to slow down and soak in beauty. Whether you admire the gorgeous cityscape in silence or savour some quality time with your loved ones, a memorable journey awaits.

The first-of-their-kind SkyOrb Cabins offer elevated views like no other

For an enhanced experience, step into one of seven newly-launched SkyOrb Cabin. With its innovative design and futuristic look, the SkyOrb is the world's first chrome-finished spherical cable car cabin and redefines luxury.

The highlight? A glass-bottomed floor that offers unparalleled views of the world beneath your feet.

Tickets for the SkyOrb Cabins are available for sale at the Singapore Cable Car Mount Faber and Sentosa Station ticketing counters. Eligible ticket holders can upgrade to a one-way SkyOrb Cabin experience for $15 on weekdays and $20 on weekends and public holidays.

Beat the heat

With the recent heatwave, it can get a little warm in the cable car. Pack a mini fan and sufficient water to cool off. You can also opt for a breezier ride in the SkyOrb Cabins, meticulously equipped with special window louvers for improved air circulation.

Plan your trip accordingly

Dusk is a great time for optimal views and Instagrammable photos, especially as the heat becomes less unrelenting and sunset casts its magical glow over the landscape.

And as night falls, watch in awe as the SkyOrb Cabins come alive with a captivating ring of lights.

Weekends are peak periods, so avoid them if crowds are not your thing.
