What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Cloud 9 for its breathtaking 360° views of Metro Manila and Rizal mountains, making it a great spot for photos and fresh air. The hanging bridge offers a thrilling experience, and the on-site museum adds a cultural touch. However, some find the food service slow and the serenading singers intrusive.
"The climb up that ladder bridge to the top of the observation tower is kind of terrifying if you are afraid of heights, nut it was also fun none the less. There is a tiny museum along the way to the ladder Bridge with old artifacts, sculptures, and pottery. The view from the observation tower is very nice on a clear day, can see clear across into the city and the ocean, while on the other side is a great view of the mountain and hillsides. A great place to take in the view. On the way down there is more artwork to view including painted portraits and wood sculptures. Below is a garden with trails you can walk through and a restaurant/ Cafe. They have a zipping as well at certain times of year. The leaning house was a fun addition! I'd definitely recommend this for a few hours of fun.A must do if you are in the area. I'd even return one day if I ever find myself in Antipolo in the future."

"If you're looking for a spot with fresh air and picturesque views, this is the place to go to, offering a 360° view of both Metro Manila and the surrounding Rizal mountains also fairly accessible via commute.
The entrance fee for the viewing deck alone is a reasonable 100 pesos given you'll first pass the mini museum and hanging bridge. However, if your dining receipt exceeds 300 php (on a per-person basis), you're entitled to a free pass to the 360° deck.
If you're travelling via commute, it is a steep walk up to the common area not including the 360° deck itself. In addition, be wary of overcharging tricycles just near the entrance should your stay extend toward the evening hours. They'll charge you 3x+ the amount you'd pay an air conditioned minibus back to Masinag/Antipolo station.
Overall, a great place to go to offering views and a vantage point as a place to chill, take photos in, etc."
Perci Donelle F. Hufana
"P100 per person for the hanging bridge. You have to enter the museum first before getting on the bridge.
The walk to the top is very thrilling for me. You can literally feel when the bridge is moving. Advice is, don't look down. You can look at the view at the side or at the top. The view at the top is real nice, especially with the lush green color of the trees.
It's a perfect place to relax as it's also breezy there. You can literally lie down anywhere and feel the breeze. There's also locks on the wires, like, were not aware of that. There's scribbles of names and goals everywhere.
Overall, it was a nice experience."

For Different Travelers
Tailored advice for your travel style
👨👩👧 Families with Kids
Consider the stairs as a safer alternative for the ascent if your children are apprehensive about heights. The restaurant offers a place to rest and refuel, and the garden trails below can be a pleasant area for kids to explore. Visiting during weekdays can help avoid larger crowds, making the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
💰 Budget Travelers
Commuting via jeepney or LRT is significantly cheaper than taking a taxi or private car. Be mindful of potential overcharging by tricycles, especially at night, and try to negotiate fares or use ride-sharing apps if available.

Aim for golden hour or evening for the most dramatic lighting. The city lights at night are particularly stunning. Remember to secure your gear, especially when on the wobbly hanging bridge, and be patient as you might need to wait for clear shots without too many people in the frame.

The Thrill of the Hanging Bridge
While the bridge offers a unique experience, there's also a staircase alternative for those who prefer a more stable ascent. This ensures that everyone can reach the breathtaking views from the top, regardless of their comfort level with heights. The journey across the bridge, or the climb up the stairs, is often described as a memorable part of the Cloud 9 visit.
Along the path to the bridge, you'll find a mini-museum showcasing local artifacts, sculptures, and pottery. This adds a cultural element to the visit, providing a moment of reflection and discovery before or after experiencing the heights. It's a small but interesting detour that enhances the overall experience.
Capturing the Views: Photography at Cloud 9
For unique shots, the hanging bridge itself is a fantastic subject, especially with visitors crossing it. Capturing the bridge with the cityscape or mountains in the background creates dynamic and memorable images. The 'leaning house' is another quirky spot that many visitors love to photograph.
Golden hour (late afternoon) and evening are particularly popular times for photography. The warm hues of sunset cast a beautiful glow over the landscape, and as night falls, the twinkling lights of the city create a magical scene. Be prepared for crowds during these times, especially on weekends.
Commuting and Navigating Cloud 9
If you're coming from Antipolo Cathedral, similar jeepney routes will take you there. However, be aware that the walk from the drop-off point to the actual entrance of Cloud 9 can be a steep climb.
Once inside, the P100 entrance fee grants access to the museum and hanging bridge. Alternatively, dining at the restaurant with a minimum spend of P350 per person waives this fee, offering a way to enjoy the views while dining.
