The following rules will remain in place on an ongoing basis due to the COVID-19 pandemic:
1. Due to the need for physical distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of people allowed to travel on the cable car is restricted to 4 per trip. This rises to the usual cable car maximum of 6 if all persons are from the same travelling family/group.
2. As always, there is no pre-booking system in operation, the cable car operates on a first-come first-served basis.
3. Tickets are sold for cash only, there is no card or card tapping functionality. Where possible, please try to give exact amount to minimise the exchange of money.
4. As space on the cable car is limited, visitors are advised to arrive as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Due to exceptional demand, the queues are very long at this time.
5. Island residents have priority boarding for the cable car.
6. The wearing of face masks/coverings is compulsory, there will be no exceptions. If a person on the cable car is not wearing a mask, the cable car will not depart.
7. Anyone with symptoms, has had contact with a suspect or confirmed case or has travelled from a foreign country within the previous 14 days should not travel on the cable car.
8. There is a one-way system on the mainland for entering and exiting the cable car. Barriers are in place on the island side to segregate those waiting and those arriving.
9. Face masks are not available for purchase at the cable car office, therefore you must bring your own.
10. Observe Social distancing when queuing at the ticket office and when waiting for the cable car.
11. The standard hand hygiene, sneezing and coughing protocols should be adhered to.
12. As space is limited on the cable car and demand is usually high the transportation of bicycles is strictly at the discretion of the cable car operator.
