SkyHelix Sentosa: Singapore's Highest Open-Air Panoramic Ride

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.

Tour Highlights

Ascend to 79 meters above sea level in an open-air gondola — the highest panoramic ride in Singapore.

Experience full 360-degree views spanning Sentosa, Keppel Bay, and the Southern Islands.

Ride in a fully open-air gondola with nothing between you and the sky — dangle your feet and feel the breeze.

Enjoy your ascent with a cool drink in hand for a relaxed, unhurried aerial experience.

Visit day or night — the structure is illuminated after dark for a completely different and photogenic atmosphere.

Capture picture-perfect moments from every angle as the gondola completes its slow, scenic rotation.

The unique helix-shaped tower is a visual landmark in its own right, recognizable across the Sentosa skyline.
