    The Freaky Skywalk and more Apes

    July 25, 2022 in Gibraltar ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    You really can’t get away from the apes up here…be vigilant and prepared! Just past the Skywalk, is the 🦧 feeding area. So after you get tested for agoraphobia, you might get jumped on by random apes!

    The Skywalk is really cool, but if you’re even remotely afraid of heights, you might have a panic attack. From the Skywalk, you have a great view of the Rock and the beach below. You can get the best 360 views from here. There is a narrow staircase to continue up, but we didn’t have time for this. To get to this point, it’s a one way road, and not much parking on the shoulder. So, if it’s not too busy, your guide may be able to give you time, but if it’s slammed like it was today, we only had the opportunity to go to the Skywalk for a few pictures. This was still an amazing view.

    The next stop was the Apes feeding area…and boy were they in feed mode. I had one, of a decent size jump right on my back (and I totally wigged out). Our guide let us feed them and then they wanted to catch a ride!
