SkyHelix Sentosa and The Wings of Time combo. Booking was simple and the price very reasonable for the experience you actually get. I would definitely recommend using headout to book your activities. Everything got booked so smoothly and the corespondence that there was a bit of a delay emailing the tickets was appreciated.

An amazing experience at the Singapore Oceanarium! The space is incredibly spacious and well-designed, allowing visitors to explore comfortably without feeling crowded. The environment is calm and ambient — perfect for families and anyone who loves marine life. The order and flow of the exhibitions are well thought out, making the journey from one section to another smooth and engaging. The animals are well cared for and displayed in a way that’s both educational and enjoyable. If there’s one area to improve, I’d say the food options could be more diverse to match the overall excellent experience. Overall, a memorable visit that beautifully combines learning, relaxation, and awe. Highly recommended! 🌊🐠

What to expect during your Singapore Cable Car ride

1/4

More than just a cable car ride

With two main lines: the Mount Faber Line and the Sentosa Line, you have options on how you want to experience the ride. There are several stops along both routes where you can deboard to explore, dine, or simply enjoy different views. Stations like HarbourFront, Imbiah Lookout, and Siloso Point let you hop off and on at your leisure, making it easy to visit nearby attractions or grab a bite to eat.

Dining experiences

After your ride, stop by Arbora Café for a cake set with a drink or a two-course meal overlooking the harbour. For something extra special, elevate your experience with private cable car dining; from Nordic-Asian menus and Peranakan dishes to Champagne or casual beer cabins.

SkyOrb: Glass Cable Car ride

Upgrade one way of your round trip (between Mount Faber and Sentosa Cable Car Stations) to a SkyOrb Cabin experience. This cabin has a reflective chrome finish and a glass floor, letting you look straight down at the scenery below. It fits up to six guests and gives you a more immersive view of the harbour and forest canopy, making the ride feel extra special.

Best for every traveller

First-time visitors will love the scenic ride and how easily it connects the city to Sentosa’s main attractions. Families enjoy it as a safe and fun activity for all ages, with plenty of stopovers for sightseeing and play. Couples and families can turn the trip into a dining experience with meals, desserts, or even bubbies at Mount Faber.

Things to know before booking your Singapore Cable Car ride

Choose between two routes: Mount Faber and Sentosa

Mount Faber Line: Hop on for scenic views of the city and harbor. This line features three stops—Mount Faber Station, HarbourFront Station, and Sentosa Station—and provides entry to Sentosa Island.
Sentosa Line: Connects you directly to hotspots within Sentosa Island. It has three stops as well: Imbiah Lookout Station, Merlion Station, and Siloso Point Station; bringing you closer to attractions like Universal Studios, Madame Tussauds, and more.

Understanding your ticket options

If you want to experience just the main route, the Round-Trip Sky Pass: Mount Faber Line offers a round-trip ride on the Mount Faber Line only, taking you from Mount Faber to Sentosa and back in about 26-30 minutes.
For the full experience, the Sky Pass (Round-Trip): Sentosa & Mount Faber Line includes round-trip rides on both the Mount Faber Line and the Sentosa Line, covering all stops and routes in approximately 38-45 minutes. This option is perfect if you want to see everything the cable car offers and access all attractions.
Combo tickets: Double the fun with combo experiences like a fun cocktail-making workshop, a visit to Universal Studios, Gardens by the Bay, Wings of Time, Singapore Oceanarium, or SkyHelix Sentosa. It's a great way to save and get more out of your day.
Upgrade one leg of your round trip between Mount Faber and Sentosa Stations to the SkyOrb glass-bottom cabin for a unique viewing experience.

Dining experiences

For the foodie in you, dine in the sky with a round-trip pass with meals . Before boarding, you can have these meals at the Arbora Cafe at Mount Faber peak.
Perfect for romantic dinners or special occasions, the private cable car dining experience combines stunning views with great food. You can choose from a four-course Peranakan menu, a Nordic-Asian menu by Chef Mathew Leong, a Champagne Cabin with charcuterie, or a Beer Cabin with a Tiger Beer tower and snacks.

Time your cable car journey:

Full-day in Sentosa: If you're planning to spend the whole day on Sentosa Island, opt for the round-trip Sky Pass. Start your morning with a scenic ride into Sentosa and return in the evening to experience the cable car by night—a perfect way to bookend your day!
Half-day trip: Have 4-5 hours to spare? Choose a round-trip on the Mount Faber line. Pair this with attractions like Universal Studios, Gardens by the Bay, or the Singapore Oceanarium for a compact yet fulfilling trip.
Evening ride: Planning a ride in the second half of the day? It's ideal to add the Wings of Time show, which takes place at 7:45pm and 8:45pm only.

Weekdays are generally less busy than weekends, so you'll enjoy a more relaxed journey.

Sky Dining experiences (Peranakan Tingkat, Chef Matthew Leong’s 3-course, Champagne/Beer cabins) must be booked in advance — they’re popular around weekends and holidays.
Arrive early if you’re doing multiple combos (e.g., cable car + USS or Oceanarium) — you’ll need a full day.
