Things to do in Sentosa Island, Singapore

Stand on the edge of continental Asia

It is linked to Sentosa by a narrow suspension bridge. Climb to the top of one of the three-story timber viewing towers for spectacular views of Sentosa and the Singapore Strait.

Explore the forests

An elevated boardwalk leads from the gallery into the forest and connects with a series of hiking trails that meander through the hills behind Siloso Beach. On the trails, look out for plantain squirrels, long-tailed macaques, olive-backed sunbirds, and oriental whip snakes.
