The Wheel of Excellence at the V&A Waterfront

The Wheel of Excellence at the V&A Waterfront

South Africa’s first observation wheel right in the Mother City


Much like the U.K’s London Eye, the giant 50m Wheel of Excellence will change the Mother City’s skyline for up to six months. A first for Cape Town and South Africa, the giant Observation Wheel is a unique way to savour panoramic bird’s-eye views of Cape Town, Paarl, Table Mountain and Robben Island.

Sporting 36 fully-enclosed cabins, friends and family can sit back and savour the city skyline on the 20 minute round trip. For those who want to ‘glam’ up the experience, champagne and canapés are also available in one of the exclusive VIP cabins.
