Soar above Sentosa in a rotating open-air gondola with uninterrupted 360-degree views of Singapore's southern skyline.
The SkyHelix Sentosa offers visitors a one-of-a-kind aerial experience, rising 79 meters above sea level in an open-air rotating gondola — the highest ride of its kind in Singapore. Whether you visit at noon or after dark, the perspective from the top reshapes how you see this island city.
Named after its vertical helix-like structure, SkyHelix Sentosa is a defining landmark on Sentosa Island. The gondola rotates slowly and gently as it climbs, giving every passenger a continuous, unobstructed view of the surroundings without any sudden movements or physical demands.
The ride spans the Keppel Bay area, the Southern Islands, and the broader Singapore coastline. At night, the illuminated structure adds a visual element that makes it a popular stop for evening visitors as well as daytime sightseers.
