  • Due to its remoteness, this is one of the most quiet spots for walking in Singapore. The area is fantastic for seasonal birding and if you want to spot the Malayan monitor lizards.

  • Nice place to walk and enjoy the nature. Not so crowded if u come early, like 7 am or so. Pay attention to the birds “singing”. Use the sound to locate them. Occasionally u will see some birds grabbing some fishes for food ~~~ Take your time and walk through the different trials. Well renovated and toilets are available.
  • A Wetland nature reserve with an emphasis in Bird watching. Bring your binoculars if you have one, and you may be able to spot some migratory and exotic bird species. The path is relatively well maintained and is suitable for a family of most ages, I have even seen elders in wheelchair being pushed around to experience nature.
  • Probably my favorite place in Singapore. Nice to get into nature away from the busy city areas! So many birds to find, crocodiles to see, and general peaceful nature scenery! If you haven't visited, you should!
  • The man made drops are unique and fun. A quick walk at the wetland, enjoyed the walk and scenery. I also lucky enjoy to capture the National flag 🇸🇬during the National Day! And the mating horseshoe crab.😀! Some areas are still under construction.
  • Had some time alone listening to birds - though I was quite annoyed by the murder of crows who dominated one part of the mangroves (as well as some of the humans who were talking really loudly) But that's more reflective of my inner state than anything else. Anytime is a good time to come (maybe except in the rain) and I hope I can dro by when the winter migrants stop by and the area is full of birds
