The first attraction we visited was the Singapore Cable Car. One distinct thing I noticed about this attraction that was pretty well presented is that there were plenty of signboards displayed. It's extremely important to have clear and obvious signs, especially if it's a tourist attraction. I mean, you wouldn't want to get lost on a foreign island am I right?
There were signs almost everywhere leading to the cable car entrance it's almost impossible to get lost. We followed the signs and found our way to the cable cars! 😉
Upon entering the cabin, my friends and I were really nervous yet excited. Not quite sure when was the last time I stepped foot into a cable car, that's why I couldn't wait to get into the cabin.
Oh my, I was extremely scared after the cable car started moving slightly. In my mind I kept thinking, "Can the cable car take the weight of all the 8 of us?!".
After a while of getting used to the movement, it was fine! The moment I looked out of the cabin, I was in shock. The view was simply astonishing. We could even see dolphins at Adventure Cove from the cabin! I've been to Sentosa countless number of times, but this was the first time I saw a complete view of the island.
We were able to view so many attractions from above and the sense of excitement really filled the entire cabin. I could hear repeated "Wow!" and "Oh my god, it's so pretty!" coming from all my friends.
The first line we took was the Mount Faber line, and it brought us above the hill of Faber Peak Singapore, through a sky scrapper and across the beautiful harbour as seen from the pictures above.
Just take a moment to look at the wonderful view! I couldn't help but snap continuous photos of the view. As a Singaporean, I never thought the bird's eye view of our island could be so pretty.
Just imagine taking the cable car during sunset... it would be gorgeous! I would definitely take the cable car again just to watch sunset. 😋
The second line - Sentosa Line, which was only opened 2 years ago, took us through various attractions located on Sentosa such as the Imbiah Lookout and Siloso Point. Oh my god, we even got to see a bird's eye view of the beaches and it was so pretty!
The view from above the cable car ride and the overall scenery was stunning. I guess the view was what attracted me the most, and of course, excited me the most.
My friends and I had a lot of fun inside the cabin, we were blasting music and taking non stop photos of the scenery. Not forgetting, photos of ourselves too of course!
We were having a little photo shoot session inside the cabin as you can tell. Halfway through the ride, everyone went quiet and guess what we were doing? We were all busy snapping away (like tourists). The lighting was perfect so we took lots of photos!
Although it wasn't my first time up on a cable car ride, but I'm not quite sure why I enjoyed myself so much that day. I guess it's probably because of the company I had, or because I don't remember what it's like being on the cable car.
I'm pretty sure this attraction is really popular among tourists since it's the only cable car ride in Singapore, and after experiencing the ride, I can understand why. The overall appeal of the attraction was marvelous. The fact that we could see the entire view of Sentosa from the cabin was just so intriguing. Also, I mentioned earlier that visitors can even choose to dine on the cable car. Why not right? Nobody can resist such a wonderful meal with a perfect view!
Honestly speaking, I definitely wouldn't mind paying to admire the amazing view if I was a tourist!
I would say the ride was quite close to perfect, but the only downside was that the cabin was quite stuffy and hot. I wasn't expecting the cabin to be that warm so I was a little disappointed because it slightly ruined the experience as a whole.
There were only two small fans for ventilation and by the time we got out of the cabin, we were all sticky and sweaty.
Although I enjoyed myself throughout the ride, but to be honest, I was slightly bored towards the end of our ride because we made a U-turn and there was nothing much to do inside the cabin. Besides this, I don't think I have anything else to complain about. 😂
