My day at Sentosa was by far my favorite day in Singapore. In the morning, I helped the staff at the Singapore Aquarium feed the animals and in later did the Dolphin experience. The afternoon was spent having a leisurely lunch near the beach. Truly a gem and a relaxing contrast the the hustle and bustle of the Singapore proper.

It is a fantastic family place. With everything to do for all. And dont miss the Dolphin Pool Show and the Fountain Laser Show. A must for all to see

I can remember when I living in Singapore as a little girl the Singapore government realised that perhaps Sentosa Island had a lot to offer as a tourist site both for locals and for foreigners. We used to go to Sentosa on a school trip and either camp out or there were little self catering colonnial type of chalets and nothing much. As time went on more money was ploughed into Sentosa and ferry crossing was an added means of getting there. No public cars were allowed into Sentosa besides there was no roads that connected to mainland Singapore anyway. A few years later the cable car and cable car station was built. The attractions in Sentosa Island was Siloso Fort the beach. Siloso Fort was a defense base (still with it's original cannons firmly pointing towards the sea) against the attack from the Japanese navy in World War II. In the early years there was a small number of islanders in what was called 'kampungs' (village in the Malay Language) but sadly progress invaded the island - gradually squeezing the villagers out and re-housed into the mainland. Sentosa has come a long way from a sleepy and forgotten fishing island to what it is now. Yes it is exciting to go to Sentosa as there is just so much attractions and the beaches are simply devine. However the heart and soul of Sentosa has been ripped out to what it is now a shallow shell filled with attractions and hotels that makes it look like Moulin Rouge on a small island. You can understand what I mean now. I remember at one time I was too terrified to go on the cable car after hearing how a ship's mast was too high that it ripped off one of the cables causing one of the cars to tumble down 200 feet into the sea below. If I remember correctly there were 2 dead and a few more injured. Of course that was just a freak accident and not very likely to happen ever again but since they linked Sentosa to the mainland by road I was re-assured in going back - but by road. By all means you have to go and see Sentosa otherwise you will not have completed your trip to Singapore. Remember Singapore is not a cheap place to travel to and neither is Sentosa but still exciting and worth a trip.

I have spent alot of Time in SG and I have to say it is by far my most favorite place in the world. It is a place with such a cultural diverse atmosphere where people work together calmly and intelegently and happily. I am still looking forward to the day that I can move there and retire there. The food is second to none, It fresh seafood and Veg. is good for the health and the true cultural flare of its people adds its true Asain spice.

This place is really cool! Going there is very convenient. You can either go there via train or via bus, or via cable car. Amazing, fun show are everywhere. I like the dolphin show, underwater world and song of the sea. So if you want to visit Singapore, don't forget to pass by the Sentosa Island. It is truly one great experience you will have.
