If you love the ocean, beaches, and diving, this is the perfect place for you. As shown above, the sea is crystal clear and beautifully blue, almost like a painting. You might even spot dolphins here!
Sisters’ Islands is home to the largest number of coral reefs in Singapore. There are two different diving routes with varying depths, allowing you to see different types of marine life.
The diving depths range from 10 metres to a maximum of 15 metres. Underwater, there are 20 markers that help identify the names of various marine plants. In total, the area boasts up to 250 species of hard corals, more than 100 species of fish, 200 species of sponges, and 12 species of seagrass.
If diving isn’t your thing, you can also picnic or camp under the palm trees. The island is designed as a marine park and offers free guided tours. The guides are very friendly and highly knowledgeable about marine life. However, to minimise disturbance to the local “residents”, remember to walk in a straight line during the tour.
How to get there:
You can take a boat from West Coast Pier or Marina South Pier. However, we recommend joining a tour organised by NParks, as you’ll gain much more from the experience.
