Get up Close to Nature

While Singapore is associated with towering skyscrapers and cutting-edge technology, the country is blessed with rich natural beauty too. Look to explore the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve which is home to mangrove areas and forest trails too. Attracting more than 150 migratory bird species, it's one of the best spots for birdwatching as well.

Walk Amidst Supertrees

What is a “supertree” you may ask? Well, imagine a tree so tall that it reaches to heights of up to 50 metres while dazzling with lights too! These amazing structures can be found at Gardens by the Bay, close to The Scarlet Singapore and you can walk amidst them on the OCBC Skyway where some amazing vistas await.

Visit the Ten Courts of Hell

This particularly colourful attraction can be found at the Haw Par Villa and is worth visiting from your budget hostel or boutique hotel in Singapore. The site features exhibits that depict scenes from Buddhism including its version of the Ten Courts of Hell where some of the torments of the underworld can be quite gruesome indeed!

Hangout with Turtles & Tortoises

Found within the Chinese Gardens, the Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum gives you the chance to encounter hundreds of these fascinating creatures. As an added bonus, you can purchase veggies and feed them too!
