Ideas for a fun day with friends and family
1. Pulau Ubin Adventure:
Forget Sentosa's expensive thrills! Begin your journey by hopping on a ferry to Pulau Ubin, a rustic island paradise where time seems to stand still. Rent a mountain bike and cycle through kampongs, past mangrove forests, and stop for a seafood feast at one of the charming kelongs. Next, hop back on the ferry and drive to Changi, where WWII history meets stunning coastal views. Next you can choose your next stop: head north to Pulau Tekong for surprisingly stunning beaches and hidden snorkeling spots, or zoom down to Joo Chiat and Katong.
2. Green Escape: Jurong Lake Gardens to Kranji Marshes
Need a break from the concrete jungle? Crank up the AC and head west to Jurong Lake Gardens, a sprawling wonderland of nature trails, Chinese and Japanese gardens, and even a floating boardwalk! Pack a picnic basket and find your inner zen by the lake. Next, hit the road towards Kranji Marshes, a haven for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Take a guided walk through this wetland wonderland, spot migratory birds, and soak in the tranquil scenery. Top it off with a pit stop at Neo Tiew Crescent, where you can meet adorable farm animals at Hay Dairies or explore the quirky Bollywood farms.
3. Heritage Hopping: Little India to Chinatown
Get ready for a sensory overload! Start your day with a masala dosa feast in Little India. Then, jump in your Drive lah car hire and zip off to Chinatown, wander through bustling Chinatown markets, pay a visit to the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, round off your heritage tour with a visit to Kampong Glam, where Malay heritage meets hipster cafes and trendy boutiques.
4. Hawker Hopping: From Maxwell to Chomp Chomp
No Singaporean road trip is complete without a hawker center crawl! Start your day at Maxwell Food Centre, a legend in the local food scene. For a taste of old-school charm, head to Tiong Bahru Market for traditional wet market vibes and hidden gourmet gems. As the sun sets, hop over to Chomp Chomp Food Centre, my personal favorite.
Choose your adventure:
Experience thrills and beaches at Sentosa Island (theme parks, Universal Studios, etc.) or explore hidden gems like Haw Par Villa (quirky and macabre sculptures), Henderson Waves (stunning park connector), or Pulau Semakau (island with beaches and wildlife).
