Checking Out Sentosa Island in One Day

Check this out! SENTOSA ISLAND – the winner of the Large Attraction Category in the Asian Attractions Awards for the third consecutive year. There is no other theme park has got so many different smaller attractions in it like Sentosa! Well, the list would be too long to list all out. However, I must highlight these :

The Jewel Box
A beautiful crystal-like building located on Mount Faber, opposite Sentosa Island. You can take a cable car uphill and drop off at this place before hoping back into the cable car to enter Sentosa Island. There are four different themed restaurants in The Jewel Box and due to its location, you can view across beautiful sceneries of Singapore and Sentosa Island. It’s also a calm and peaceful place for relaxation while sipping down a cup of hotly brewed coffee.

Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom
Upon entering Sentosa Island, you may find yourself amused by various attractions and might not know where to start first. Well, may I suggest to start exploring the Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom first. It’s located next to the entrance within walking distance. The sanctuary, which is the home for over 1,500 live butterflies of more than 50 species, is indeed filled with natural greeneries and colourful flowers. Aside from butterflies, you may find yourself surrounded by different kinds of beetles, spiders (which is NOT an insect), scorpions (again, NOT an insect) and other REAL insects here. Don’t worry. They are all kept in their respective display boxes and cases.

Now that's a huge bug!

Dolphin Lagoon
Take a bus ride to the Dolphin Lagoon (pink dolphin to be exact). Do not miss their Dolphin Show Sessions. The shows are on at 11AM (On weekends & public holidays. Training sessions on weekdays), 1PM, 3.30PM and 5.30PM daily. Watch how the smart pink-coloured dolphins dance and perform!

Don't miss the dolphin show

Underwater World
Welcomed by a Touch Pool, you can feel some “tame” sea creatures like starfish, stingrays and baby sharks with your hands. Then, walk around and admire the wide variety of sea creature display. Find yourself adoring herds of seahorses and seadragons while being surrounded by a circus of clownfish and anemonefish! We would reach the escalated walkway which would bring you to the underwater world. Find yourself surrounded by gigantic fishes like stingrays, eels and sharks! There is also a special pool for dugongs. I am sure you would be amazed by these ocean creatures on display along the tunnel!

Starfish : "Hehehe... That tickles!"

The Merlion & Merlion Walk
Not far from Underwater World, you will find the 37-metres high trademark of Singapore – The Merlion. You will find yourself walking around the kingdom of myths and legendary creatures like mermaids and merman. Next, go up to the Mouth Gallery Viewing Deck to witness the mesmerizing skyline of Singapore.

"I am the mascot!"

Images of Singapore
Wrapping up the one-day tour in Sentosa Island, it’s time for some history of the country. To be exact, this is NOT a place where old pictures and artifacts are displayed. This is a place where you will find yourself interacting with the human-size displays. Before entering the showcase of Singaporean cultural diversity and history, you would be sitting in a mini theatre to enjoy an introductory story of Singapore by a few ‘historic’ personnel. Venturing into time-tunnel, you would be brought to life, passing through different happenings and events, witnessing the real Singapore. Surely, you would be extremely impressed by Images of Singapore. It surely left a deep impact on me!
