Sentosa tours

The first half of the tour was in the public areas but with a guide. The second half was the real highlight with the dolphin experience and the tour of the back of the house areas!

Used SG ReDiscover Vouchers to book the trip. It was our first time to the Southern Islands and we were looking forward to it. We had never used Marina South Pier for travel, and registering our attendance was fuss-free: a coloured sticker to denote our group, guidance and instructions for embarkation. In the week prior to the trip, our trip administrator was Jack, and he was very thorough and active in grouping us appropriately, answering queries, giving us updates leading up to the day. My wife and I were allocated to group B, led by Mr Ng HJ. Very friendly man, truly enthusiastic about the trip, able to keep track of the group, lead the group, knows a lot about the islands and the information was very interesting and helpful for us. The walking activity had plenty of stops at various points of interest, and it was never boring to stop. Whether it's the stories or the wildlife around you, you'll be constantly immersed and mesmerised, it's wonderful for history and nature buffs, and amazing if you're both. On a hot day, bring your full gear for sunny weather, including ample water, and don't skimp on it. We got onto St. John's Island at 9:30 am, followed the guided tour, then crossed the causeway to Lazarus Island for some OTOT activity. Wife and I chose to walk to Seringit and Kias islands for a quick look, while the rest of the group opted to hang around the apparently iconic Lazarus beach with leisure yachts dotting the tiny bay. By 12:30 pm we were ready to board the incoming craft to Kusu Island, where we listened to the history of the temple and the hilltop Datuk Kong shrine, and got a quick look at the red-eared sliders (tortoises). The ferry to bring us back to the mainland arrived at about 2:10 pm, so it was a total of 4+ hours spent around the islands. The guides (the tour company) anticipated the crowds and ferry timings well and made sure to get the whole group queuing early for the ferries. Food-wise, if you had a good breakfast, you don't need to bring any food with you, just some munchies for energy to walk around the islands. Time-wise, some may find that the guided part may be too long and left little for self-directed recreation. It seemed that there was flexibility for anyone to choose to split from the tour groups and follow their own itinerary, though I think most or all of us simply followed the tour timings. The islands are gorgeous. The weekend crowds are huge, but there are relatively quiet and shaded spots to be at. 10/10 will check out tours similar to this.

Service is exceptional. Capt Joe and AJ are very friendly. They take good pictures too. We had a good time and enjoyed the smooth journey. The redemption is hassle free. Our bday celebration ended very memorable. Thank you very much!

I believe we have thoroughly explored the city, both on land and at sea. It is an amphibious car, and we had a wonderful time listening to the narrator provide historical context for each city landmark we passed.

good experience with this chrismas bus to town to see christmas lights, worth the experience overall, thankfully good weather on that day!

I decided to try out this tour as a Singaporean, even though my husband, who is a PR, isn’t as familiar with these experiences. That’s why I planned to bring him along—and our son, who absolutely loves this bus! It happened to be the rainy season, but the tour guide provided reusable raincoats to some of the tourists, which was a thoughtful touch. Our guide, Peter, did an amazing job. Despite the heavy rain, he stayed on top of the bus, sharing fascinating stories about Singapore with everyone. His dedication and kindness really stood out, and he provided detailed and engaging information throughout the tour. Great job, Peter!

It was an awesome and amazingly experience as I'm the only person to go for this VIP private tour. Tour guide Anna was well experience and she explained everything clearly to me on all my enquiries. I also have a chance to go into their back door to understand how their operation works. Close dolphins encounter was a very fruitful one whereby I can get a rare chance to take photographs, touch and play with them too. I also get to understand the behaviour of these dolphins and how they were trained by their trainers. Most importantly, it is not open to the public except for private bookings. On the whole, it has been a very wonderful and interesting 3.5 hours for me and it's really worth what you've paying for. Thank you Anna and the dolphin Ella trainer.. Thumbs up for you all!!

A great outdoor activity to do with friends or family members highly recommended. Lots of walking and a little bit of hiking so do put on a hat, slap on some sun lotion, and put on a good walking shoes. Bring some food, drinks and a picnic mat to enjoy a good and relaxing time when you find a good shade spot.
