Island-hopping
Have fun exploring our neighboring islands and enjoy some
quiet moments away from the hustle and hustle.
1. Pulau Ubin - Be transported back in time to 1960s
Singapore as you embark on a trip to Pulau Ubin. Shaped like a boomerang, this
1,020-hectare island is home to Singapore’s last village or kampongs, as well
as the Chek Jawa Wetlands, one of Singapore’s richest ecosystems.
2. Kusu Island - The legend of Kusu Island revolves
around 2 shipwrecked men (1 Malay and 1 Chinese) saved by a giant tortoise
which transformed into an island to save them. They were so grateful that they
built a Taoist shrine and Muslim 'keramat' (‘shrine’ in Malay). Visit the
places of worship, the tortoise sanctuary, as well as enjoy the lagoons with
its pristine beaches and tranquil settings.
3. St John’s Island, Lazarus Island - Both islands are
linked by a paved bridge. Learn more about St John’s Island’s mangroves,
coastal plants and coral reefs through a guided Intertidal Walk. Lazarus island
is not just about the beach life, but is also a lush garden sanctuary for those
who need some rest and relaxation. There are plenty of wooden benches to just
sit and laze the afternoon away with friends and family.
4. Coney Island - The rustic Coney Island Park is an
ecologically sustainable park with many environmental initiatives. Start
exploring the forest and mangrove habitats on the newly built boardwalk and
move on to the beach which can be accessed at five locations. With its rich
biodiversity in a rustic setting, Coney Island Park offers much to explore for
bird and nature enthusiasts
