Singapore is not just one island, but a
main island with over 50 surrounding islets. Some of Singapore's
smaller islands offer a quiet respite from the big city with
their laid-back ambience, idyllic beaches and inviting waters.
Sentosa - Singapore's resort island getaway is a must-see
for all visitors. Just minutes away from the bustle of the
city, this island of tranquillity welcomes you with beautiful
sandy beaches, rustic nature trails, Asia's most exciting
oceanarium & Dolphin Lagoon, historical sites, museums
and great entertainment!
Pulau Ubin is a window into Singapore 30 years ago - thatched
huts, backyard orchards, dirt tracks and interesting wildlife.
St. John's Island, a former penal colony which has been
transformed into a tranquil resort with abundant watersport
activities and holiday bungalows, makes an ideal getaway.
Kusu or "Turtle" Island is best known for its
legend of how a giant turtle turned itself into an island
in order to save two shipwrecked sailors, a Malay and a
Chinese. Lazarus and Sisters Islands are some of the other
easily accessible tropical paradises known for snorkelling
and diving. Simply catch a ferry from the Singapore Cruise
Centre at the World Trade Centre or hire your own boat from
Jardine Steps, Clifford Pier or the Changi Jetty.
