Sentosa Islander
Being an Sentosa Islander
People who are passing by Singapore should try extending their stopover and register at the tourism counter the terminal for a free tour sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board. You have two choices, go to the city or to the beach. When we had a long stopover in Singapore on our journey from the Netherlands to the Philippines we selected the city tour and were impressed on how clean the city was and how multicultural it is. That was my first contact with Singapore.
If you choose the beach tour instead you will be brought to Sentosa island. We love this place and we became an islander since we visit the island frequently. What makes it such a good place to be?
Sentosa is a small island at the south of Singapore. You can go their by bus, car, cab, MRT and a monorail that connects a huge mall called Vivocity to the island.
There are many attractions on the island apart from the lovely and clean beaches, for people of all ages. The attractions that we most like are the underwater world, dolphin lagoon, a spectacular light show called “Songs of the Sea” (only in the evening), butterfly garden, animal shows, “Images of Singapore” showing the history and cultural aspects of Singapore, and the beautiful areas to wander around.

The underwater world is a unique and well-known oceanarium showcasing some 2500 marine life via a moving travelator with a tunnel. Something unique is the option to go into the oceanarium with diving gear and an instructor and swim with the sharks and other astonishing sea creatures, while you can be seen swimming by the people on the travelator. Brrrr… still need to gather my guts to do this one.
They have ice cream shops everywhere too!!! 
and that’s one of the things I love about this place.It’s such a great place to chill and relax.
There’s simply no time to get bored here!
