    What our guests say

    Can’t even tell you how much I loved this! Went solo, which I thought might be weird, but honestly it was sooo freeing. Cable car up was quick (waited like 20 mins). Staff were super chill, even joked with me about my windblown hair lol. The views just—WOW. Sat on a rock for an hour just staring at clouds rolling below me. Bring a jacket tho, was colder up top than I expected. Would do again in a heartbeat.

    Family trip—two kids, both under 10, and my wife. Both kids LOVED the cable car (it goes round and round, so they were giggling the whole ride). We spent ages up top just admiring the city spread out below. There’s some short walks you can do, and plenty of space to run around (careful near the edges tho). Packed sandwiches, sat on a rock—felt like we were on top of the world.

    Went with my partner—pretty solid day overall. Lines were kinda long, espesh around noon, but we grabbed coffee at the bottom so it wasn’t a biggie. The rotating cable car is a fun touch, got great shots on the ride up. Bit crowded at the summit but we found a quiet spot off the main path for a mini picnic. Weather can change FAST up there, fyi.

    Honestly, the view is coool but man, so windy my hat almost flew away. I liked the little trails at the top but wish the signs were clearer. Not much shade so sunscreen is ur best friend. Prob would’ve enjoyed more if it wasn’t so packed…guess I came at peak hour. Still pretty, just not as peaceful as I hoped.

    I’m scared of heights but my boyfriend convinced me and I’m so glad. The cable car is super smooth, even for scaredy cats like me. At the top, you forget about the ride because the scenery just takes over. We stayed until sunset—absolutely magical. Would do again if I could, no question.
