"No where near as scary as the roller coaster that was here in the 50's. You can sit back, relax and enjoy yourself. Very therapuetic!"
"The ride to Dursey island by cable car is not for those who are faint hearted its really bearthtaking watching the clifs from above, the cable car itself need renovation and i think if they make it panoramic with mostly glass all the way would be better and the doors need to be more secure but overall i loved it"
"The cable car seems older than my grandma. We couldn't take cause the weather was bad. Anyway don't bring your dog here, you cannot take the dog to the island. There is a warning sing for dog owners basically saying that your dog will be shot down if you take it to the island because of the sheep."
"The day I visited it cable car did not worked. But no troubles - I walked around the cliffs"
"Dursey Island is the only island in Ireland you can visit by cable car, the ride itself is very exciting, in the summer months go early in the day, as the operator needs to allow time for everyone to return to the mainland"
