The Cape Wheel offers quite a bit in terms of fun. The carriage allows for four passengers. Whether it be with family or friends, it's ideal for everyone. Moving onto the couples, you have your VIP carriage too. I highly recommend going during the day, allowing you and others to enjoy the magnificent views of the Mother City. The Cape Wheel is beautifully lit in the evenings. It can be seen from a distance. It stops right at the top allowing you the opportunity to view the sights. It can sway while you're in the air. However, it is perfectly safe.

Lines at the Cape Wheel were organised and fast-moving. Social distancing and sanitising is observed well. Staff are friendly, helpful and super energetic. The views are beautiful and the atmosphere really festive. It is a costly option for many activities, but still worth a visit. The only downside: traffic and parking. Budget an extra 30min at least into your arrival and 15 into your departure time if you have other things to get to. The marimba band is awesome.

I captured awesome pictures from the wheel the next day when it wasn’t misty. The ride costs R160 for about 12 minute spin. The cashiers were kind enough to answer all the questions I had and to give proper advice. If you want to capture great stills then this is worth it

Absolutely gorgeous view. Gondola is quite comfortable and the aur conditioner is a gr8 added extra. Ride is well worth the cost. Just remember to carry your ID.

The ride is pretty pricey especially for locals who are already cash strapped. However the wheel offers fantastic views of the V u0026 A Waterfront, Table Mountain and the Cape Town Stadium. But still, a fairly average experience and I would mostly recommend it for tourists. For the price paid, especially for locals, I don’t feel it was worth it as the ride is a bit short. They also sell a photo package afterwards which most people didn’t take because the ride was already so expensive.

Wonderful to see the Waterfront and surroundings from the top.
1. View of the South Easter wind coming over Table Mountain or as its known as "The Table Cloth" covering the Mountain.
2. Table Bay, a working harbour.
3. One the entrances to the Vu0026A Waterfront Mall.
4. The SA Agulhas berthing at the Vu0026A Waterfront.

Friendly and helpful staff they take pic of you and your crew or family before the ride and you have the option to buy it after your ride. A ride is approximately 15 - 20 min A must visit at least once for every south African
