The ‘Straits Times Overland’ reported on 15 March 1879:
Work had started on Fort Siloso. A coast battery destined to see action in the Second World War, and to be the last active coast battery in Singapore.
The Importance of Fort Siloso
Of the remaining batteries, Mount Imbiah Battery is in very good condition, as in Labrador Park are substantial remains of Fort Pasir Panjang and Batu Berlayar AMTB Battery. There are also some visible remains of Labrador Battery. With the exception of Batu Berlayar Battery which is gated, these batteries are easily accessible. There are, for the explorer, remains of several other batteries to be found on Singapore, but caution needs to be exercised when visiting them. Some are in very poor order, and can be hazardous to visitors. There may be more remaining than many people think, although some of these remains are in restricted areas, or otherwise are inaccessible. Reference is made to some such areas in this website.
The word ‘Fort’ is something of a misnomer when applied to Siloso and other gun batteries in Singapore. Only Fort Tanjong Katong was built as a stand-alone defensible gun battery. This because of it's location, which was a little remote when it was constructed.
Visiting Fort Siloso
Admission to the fort is free, and there are guides for visitors who wish to make pay for a guided tour. Inside the fort is the Surrender Chamber, in which are displays of the British Surrender in February 1942, and of the Japanese Surrender at City Hall in September 1945. Entry to the Surrender Chamber is free.

The photographs in this website have been taken over a period of many years. The various colour schemes adopted by the owners of the Fort may appear in a particular sequence of photos. The Fort was painted in a camouflage scheme during WWII and later. this is seen in some photos.

I think Fort Siloso and Fort Siloso Skywalk are two of the most underrated attractions in Sentosa Island. Located at Siloso Point, which is the northwestern tip of Sentosa Island, Fort Siloso is the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore
If you think that Fort Siloso is a boring history museum with lots of vintage objects in glass enclosures, here’s the truth: it is not your typical museum. Instead, it is a huge compound with actual coastal guns, tunnel complex, military structures and many other WWII memorabilia.
I highly recommend that you start your journey at Fort Siloso Skywalk, a scenic treetop trail that is 11 storeys above ground and 181 meters long. At the end of the Skywalk, you’ll arrive at the beginning of Fort Siloso.
In this article, I’ll share about what you need to know before visiting, as well as what to do and see at Fort Siloso.

Fort Siloso Brief History
Fort Siloso was built in the late 19th century to defend Singapore’s coast against sea invasion from the south. During WWII, when Japanese invaded Singapore from the north, hence, Fort Siloso guns were turned 180 degrees inland to fire at Japanese troops who were coming from Malaya. During the Japanese Occupation, the fort was used as a prisoner-of-war camp. 1,2
After Japanese surrender, Fort Siloso was occupied by British forces and finally handed over to the Singapore government after the withdrawal of British forces. Fort Siloso then came under the command of the Singapore Armed Forces. 2

Fort Siloso Map
This is the map of Fort Siloso which is taken on-site.
You can also view the digital map here . Scroll down to download the brochure, the map is inside the brochure.
In the map, you’ll notice there are 2 suggested trails: Heritage Trail and Gun Trail. Heritage Trail brings you to all the historical buildings while Gun Trail brings you to all of the guns. Both trails start at Fort Siloso Introduction field and end at Waves of the Straits.
Free Guided Tour
If you’re keen to learn more about the history of Fort Siloso from a tour guide, you can join the free day tours at Fort Siloso which is conducted every 2nd and 3rd Saturday of the month. Advance registration is required.
Registration opens every 1st Friday of the month, at 12pm. Slots are very limited, so do register early.
Fort Siloso Skywalk vs Siloso Trail
From the entrance, there are 2 ways to reach Fort Siloso. The easiest one is via Fort Siloso Skywalk, where you’ll get to enjoy the scenery. The tough one is via Siloso Trail, which is a challenging uphill trail that runs below the Skywalk.
Fort Siloso Skywalk
In case you’re wondering, Fort Siloso Skywalk was NOT part of the historical fort during World War II. Instead, it was built in 2015, which is 70 years after the conclusion of WWII.
Fort Siloso Skywalk is a 11-storey high elevated bridge that connects Siloso Point and Fort Siloso. The Skywalk also offers visitors a scenic view of western part of Sentosa as well as the view of Southern Islands of Singapore.
Fort Siloso Introduction
At the end of Fort Siloso Skywalk, you will arrive at this field. On the map, it is called Fort Siloso Introduction. Basically, it is the starting point of Fort Siloso.
From here, you can follow the Heritage Trail to visit all the historical buildings, or Gun Trail to visit all the guns at Fort Siloso. It’s not mandatory to take either trails, you can explore the fort in whichever way that you like.
Fort Siloso Tunnel Complex C
There are 3 Tunnel Complex at Fort Siloso: A, B and C. If you’re coming from Fort Siloso Skywalk, you’ll first encounter Tunnel Complex C, then B and A.
The Tunnel Complex C is located at Fort Siloso Introduction, between 6-inch battery magazine and Battery Command Post.
Tunnel Complex C is home to exhibit about The Volunteer Corps, Ammunition Hoists, and statues of soldiers preparing to hoist ammunition.
Battery Command Post
Battery Command Post is located right next to Tunnel C at Fort Siloso Introduction. In this exhibit, 3 statues of soldiers were seen monitoring the coast situation and making calls. A sound recording depicting wartime in 1942 was played.
During war time, the Battery Command Post had a clear view of the horizon and all of the fields of fire within range of the guns. The ranges and bearings of targets were calculated by a range-finder and transmitted to the guns which were then aimed at their target.
Fort Siloso Square
Fort Siloso Square is easily recognizable by the 3 guns in the middle of the square. Other than the guns, you’ll also find WWII Experience, Casemates, Tunnel Complex B and 6-inch Gun Battery.
Fort Siloso Tunnel Complex B
The Tunnel Complex B is located at Fort Siloso Square, between Casemates and 6-inch gun battery.
Tunnel Complex B is home to exhibit about life of Prisoners-of-War in Singapore during the Japanese Occupation, and soldiers preparing to load gun shells for the 6-inch gun above the tunnel.
Engine Room and Store
From Fort Siloso Square, when you walk further downhill, you will arrive at Engine Room and Store.
The Engine Room features exhibit about Special Operations Force 136, a special unit set up by the British to support resistance forces and co-ordinate guerilla operations behind enemy lines during WWII. Meanwhile, the Store features exhibit about the Japanese Occupation period (1942-1945).
Fort Siloso Tunnel Complex A
The Tunnel Complex A is located next to Store. Unlike Tunnel B and C, Tunnel A is not entirely enclosed. The roof of the corridor is see-through and the corridor receives plenty of natural light. Despite that, to be honest, I feel that Tunnel A is too quiet and I wouldn’t dare to enter it on my own.
Inside the tunnel complex, there’s a room with 2 statues of soldiers. There is also an Observation Post, a small room where a soldier is monitoring the Keppel Harbour, which was the original naval base of Singapore.
Overall, it feels like Tunnel A is less well-maintained compared to the other 2 tunnels.
Fire Director Tower
At the end of Tunnel A, you will reach Fire Director Tower, which is located at the tip of Siloso Point where soldiers were once stationed to spot incoming naval ships.
Fire Director Tower features a control tower, a watch shelter, a gun emplacement, and a replica of 12-pounder gun.
Surrender Chamber
The Surrender Chamber features the reenactment of British surrender to Japan in 1942, as well as reenactment of Japanese surrender in 1945.
The Life of a Soldier
The Life of a Soldier Zone features exhibits related to the life of the British soldiers in Pulau Blakang Mati (Sentosa). Here, you can see interesting replica of soldier’s living quarter (Barrack Room), Laundry Room, Cookhouse and Tailor’s Shop.
Outside of the buildings, you’ll find soldiers at the Parbuckle, a rope system used to transport heavy machineries / ammunitions up and down the hill.
Guns of Fort Siloso
There are so many guns at Fort Siloso. Each cluster of guns has its own accompanying explanation.
Waves of the Straits
Waves of the Straits is located at Fort Siloso Road. Basically, this is the exit of Fort Siloso. Along the road, you can see many impressive murals painted on the side as well as on the road itself. The murals are painted by Yip Yew Chong , a Singaporean artist who draws majority of murals all around Singapore.
Food near Fort Siloso
I did not see any food/drink stalls or vending machine at Fort Siloso. The nearest place to get food/drink would be the convenient stores at Siloso Point.
1. Allow at least 3 hours of time to explore the entire Fort Siloso and Skywalk. Fort Siloso compound is really huge and I think 3 hours is the bare minimum time required to explore the entire fort.
2. Go early . The last admission to the exhibit is 5.30pm. Assuming you need 3 hours to explore the entire fort, the latest you need to enter is 2.30pm. I’d recommend that you go before 2.30 pm.
3. Wear comfortable shoes . Fort Siloso is full of hills and steps. Since you’ll be walking for 3 hours, I recommend that you wear a pair of comfortable shoes.
4. Bring water . Even though there is a water point, during this time, I don’t think it’s a good idea to take water from a public water point. Do bring your own water.
5. Bring umbrella . Most part of the fort is unsheltered, so do bring umbrella to be protected from rain or hot weather.

Fort Siloso Skywalk
From Sentosa Point Bus Station, head just up the road to the Fort Siloso Skywalk (open 9am-6pm every day). This is a free attraction, and a lift whizzes you upwards to the Skywalk. This walk is about 180 metres long and probably has the best views on Sentosa Island. You are above the trees of the jungle and can see a lot of the island plus mainland Singapore.
Exploring Fort Siloso
The Skywalk leads you directly into Fort Siloso, another free attraction that’s open 9am-6pm every day. Fort Siloso is a well-preserved coastal fort built by the British to defend Singapore mainly against attacks from the sea.
You can enter many parts of the fort, which each contain various exhibits about the history of the fort, life as a soldier, the surrender to Japan and much more. There are many nice views from the fort, make sure to head right down to the end via the narrow steps to reach cliffs overlooking the ocean.
See The Views up Close with Binoculars
From the Skywalk and Fort there are good views, for a closer look, get a decent pair of binoculars. I have had a pair of Bresser Binoculars * for over 20 years now and they are pretty indestructible and work well. Another well-reviewed pair on Amazon are these Celestrons:
Celestron Nature DX 8×42 Binoculars on Amazon *.
Check out the complete list of hiking gear needed for Singapore:
Coastal Trail on Sentosa Island
Once you’ve finished exploring the Fort, head out along Siloso Road. Just past the roundabout, there’s a trail heading left towards the ocean. Take this, and head right to walk along the coastline. This is a quiet trail with the jungle on one side and views across the water to Keppel Point on the other side. The trail eventually bends around away from the water and back through the jungle. You’ll come out at Siloso Point Bus Station, exactly where you started.
Siloso Beach
If you want to cool off after the walk, Siloso Beach is very close by. Opposite the bus station, you should see a small paved road and a small sign saying Sentosa Beach Walk. The beach is about 85 metres down this road.
If you’re here in the evening, check out the popular Wings of Time Show *, with lights, fireworks, 3D projections, music and much more. It takes place when it gets dark, on Siloso Beach near the monorail station.

FAQs for Fort Siloso
It takes 2-3 hours to look around Fort Siloso. This includes exploring the remains of the fort and visiting the small exhibits in some of the buildings.
At Fort Siloso you can see the remains of an originally British Fort built by the coast on Sentosa Island. There are many large guns, turrets, barracks and various other buildings, along with small exhibits about the history of the fort.

The secrets of fort siloso: journey from a treetop trek to underground tunnels at sentosa’s restored military compound.
by Amelia Ang • 09 Mar 2020
Beach bars, cable cars and… a military fortress? There’s more to Sentosa than you thought. Psst: check out our video below!
Well-loved by residents and tourists alike, Sentosa is a place you’ve probably set foot on at least once in your life (if not, it’s time to get planning!). You’ve lazed on its beaches , tried your hand at extreme sports (or the ultra fun luge) and had a boozy sip at a seaside bar . What’s next? Exploring the hidden military fort.
[aiovg_video id=211902]
The history: Singapore’s only coastal fort that’s well-preserved till today, Fort Siloso one served as part of the nation’s defences during WWII. Built in the late 19th century, Singapore was an important trading port under the British colony, so the fort was set up as protection in case a sea invasion occured. (Spoiler alert: it didn’t happen – the Japanese invaded by land.)
This may be a military museum, but you won’t be going through a yawn-inducing tour. We spent an afternoon uncovering Sentosa’s past as a military fortress and emerged with fun facts, new discoveries, stunning pictures and a pretty good workout …
The view from above
The most scenic way to get to Fort Siloso is via the Skywalk, a treetop trek along a spacious bridge that’s 11 storeys high. Not keen to climb those flights of stairs? There’s a bubble lift that takes you up in a jiffy and lets you admire the view as you ascend. Stroll along the bridge and you’ll see signs providing historical tidbits about Labrador Park, Keppel Bay and more.
Guns… but no roses
We have no doubt that this wartime compound didn’t sport the sprightly colours it does now (scroll down for some unexpectedly vibrant guns!). Fort Siloso has become a tourist attraction in the years since it was vacated, and the refurbished structures certainly make for a good picture, while providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
Venture to the battery command post for a clear view of the horizon. This post was used to direct coastal defence guns, meaning the greenery you see now was previously a view of the harbour during WWII!
Wartime scenes
Step into the air conditioned museum block to get schooled on the events of the wartime years in a non-boring way. Who needs a history textbook when you can look at a miniature model of Fort Siloso that lights up at the push of a button? Or watch an intriguing black and white tape that offers a peek into the past?
Once you’ve made your way out, you’ll see more bright blue ammunition stores and another military post that depicts soldiers hard at work. Just a few steps away from the museum and the men, there’s a vending machine where you can snag a drink… and read up on the hari-kari practice, or suicide by disembowelment, done by Japanese soldiers who didn’t want to be caught by the enemy (look for the sign on a white wall).
Now for something a little less gruesome: here’s a beautiful peacock we spotted on this heritage trail.
Blast from the past: Iconic historical places in SG
Tunnel vision.
After going through a restoration process, the labyrinth of underground tunnels now house figures of wartime soldiers manning their positions and loading artillery. Others display artwork by prisoners-of-war (there were way more than expected) that recount anecdotal tales of the horrors they experienced. From dark cartoons to ironically beautiful murals, expect a wall of somewhat unsettling images that offer a rather personal way of communicating war history.
Back above ground
Another museum transports us to the time of the Japanese Occupation, when Singapore was known as Syonan (or Syonan-to), which stands for Light of the South. The museum shows postcards, badges and video testimonies from the Syonan years, alongside recreations of the meagre food rations of the time. Near the Fire Director Tower, a garden of wartime staples includes vegetables that people grew for sustenance during the Japanese Occupation.
The western part of Sentosa was once known as Sarang Rimau, or Tiger’s Lair, as these big cats were supposedly found here. Since WWII though, this has been home to a twin six pounder gun, a director tower, a magazine (i.e. an ammunition dump) and other military posts. For a glimpse into troop life, take a look at Fort Siloso’s restored bunkers and guardhouses – complete with fake guard dogs!
At the surrender chambers, (somewhat eerie) wax figures reenact history-making moments like the Japanese forces’ formal surrender and the British surrender of Singapore, marking the start of Singapore’s freedom.
Climbing down the stairs from the chambers, we’re greeted by wartime posters promoting solidarity in bold fonts and attention-grabbing colours. Outside, vividly-painted guns line the pathway.
Contemporary creations
For those who aren’t history buffs, Fort Siloso isn’t all about restored tunnels and historical scenes: at the exit, murals created by local artist Yip Yew Chong can be found not just on walls, but on the roads and even rocks. Some of these make for fun optical illusions too!
Fort Siloso , accessible by car (nearest car park: Beach Station car park), cab, the Sentosa beach shuttle or Sentosa bus A and C (alight at Siloso Point if you’re taking cab or bus).

Fort Siloso
Top choice in Sentosa Island
Dating from the 1880s, when Sentosa was called Pulau Blakang Mati (Malay for 'the island behind which lies death'), this British coastal fort was famously useless during the Japanese invasion of 1942. Documentaries, artefacts, animatronics and recreated historical scenes take visitors through the fort's history, and the underground tunnels are fun to explore. The Surrender Chambers bring to life two pivotal moments in Singapore's history: the surrender of the British to the Japanese in 1942, and then the reverse in 1945.
Designed to repel a maritime assault from the south, Siloso's heavy guns had to be turned around when the Japanese invaded from the Malaya mainland in WWII. The British surrender soon followed, with the fort later used as a POW camp by the Japanese.
Connected to Fort Siloso is the free Fort Siloso Skywalk, an 11-storey-high walking trail above the canopy treetops.

The Sentosa Fort Siloso Skywalk is an 11-storey elevated trail that provides visitors with a unique opportunity to enjoy a scenic trek on the way to Fort Siloso . The 181-meters walk is one of the most charming attractions in Singapore , and is a picturesque way to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the fort.
Sentosa Fort Siloso Skywalk, Ticket Price & Opening Hours, Singapore
Elevator services are available, but if you feel fit and are enthusiastic about enjoying views while you get your cardio workout done, then take the stairs.

Begin the beautiful trek among the tree canopies and marvel at the diverse flora and fauna that this region boasts. If you have a keen eye, you may even spot a few squirrels and different bird species. The Sentosa Fort Siloso Skywalk may prove tricky for visitors with a phobia for heights, partly because some of the floor of this amazing trek is glass-bottomed.
Along the trek, are panels containing information on the fort’s rich history as well as key places in the surrounding region. This is a perfect way to learn more about the fort. For interested visitors, there is also the option of guided walks for a more detailed trek.

Fort Siloso: A Historical and Cultural Treasure in Sentosa Island
If you are looking for a unique and enriching experience in Singapore, you should not miss Fort Siloso, the only preserved coastal fort in the country. Located on the western tip of Sentosa Island, Fort Siloso offers a glimpse into the past and present of Singapore's military and maritime history. You can explore the fort's museum, exhibits, and attractions, and enjoy the stunning views of the island and the sea from the Skywalk. Whether you are a history buff, a nature lover, or a thrill seeker, Fort Siloso has something for everyone. Here is everything you need to know about Fort Siloso, including how to reach, best time to visit, and tips for a memorable visit.
Fort Siloso Skywalk
One of the highlights of Fort Siloso is the Skywalk , a 181-meter long elevated walkway that connects the fort to the mainland. The Skywalk is 11 stories high and offers panoramic views of the island and the sea. You can spot the landmarks of Sentosa, such as the Merlion, the cable car, and the Universal Studios, as well as the ships and boats that sail across the water. The Skywalk also features information panels that tell you more about the history and facts of the fort and the island.
The Skywalk is open from 9 am to 7 pm daily, and admission is free. You can access the Skywalk from the Siloso Point bus stop, or from the fort's entrance. The Skywalk is wheelchair and stroller friendly, and has elevators and ramps for easy access. The Skywalk is a great way to start or end your visit to Fort Siloso, as it gives you a bird's eye view of the destination and its surroundings.
History of Fort Siloso
Fort Siloso was built in the late 19th century by the British as part of the coastal defence system of Singapore. The fort was equipped with guns and cannons that could fire at enemy ships that approached the island. During World War II , Fort Siloso played a crucial role in the defence of Singapore against the Japanese invasion. However, the fort's guns were unable to stop the Japanese troops that landed on the northern shores of the island, and Singapore eventually fell to the Japanese occupation.
Today, Fort Siloso is a museum that showcases the history and culture of the fort and its soldiers. You can see the original guns and cannons that are still mounted on the fort's walls, and learn about their functions and mechanisms. You can also visit the various exhibits and displays that depict the life and stories of the people who lived and worked at the fort. Some of the exhibits include the Surrender Chambers, the Coastal Mine Defence, the Gun Emplacements, and the Fort Siloso Memorial. You can also watch a documentary film that narrates the history of the fort and its role in World War II.
The fort's museum is open from 10 am to 6 pm daily, and admission is free. You can access the museum from the Skywalk, or from the Siloso Point bus stop. The museum is wheelchair and stroller friendly, and has restrooms and drinking water facilities. The museum is a must-see for anyone who is interested in the history and heritage of Singapore, as it offers a rare and authentic insight into the fort and its legacy.
Fort Siloso Museum

The museum is a self-guided tour that takes you through the different sections and themes of the fort. You can use the audio guide or the QR code scanner to get more information and details about the exhibits and displays. The museum also has interactive and immersive features, such as sound effects, video projections, and wax figures, that make you feel like you are part of the fort's history.
The museum's exhibits cover various topics and aspects of the fort and its role in World War II, such as the British strategy, the Japanese invasion, the life of the prisoners of war, the liberation of Singapore, and the post-war developments. Some of the exhibits include the Fort Siloso Gallery, the Battle of Singapore, the Prisoners of War, the Liberation of Singapore, and the Post-War Years. You can also see the artifacts and memorabilia that belong to the fort and its soldiers, such as uniforms, weapons, medals, and documents.
The museum is open from 10 am to 6 pm daily, and admission is free. You can access the museum from the Skywalk, or from the Siloso Point bus stop. The museum is wheelchair and stroller friendly, and has restrooms and drinking water facilities. The museum is a great way to enhance your knowledge and appreciation of the fort and its history, as it offers a comprehensive and engaging tour of the fort and its exhibits.

Fort Siloso tour grants special access to three sites as part of series to mark Singapore's WWII fall
SINGAPORE - At the end of a short flight of steps in Fort Siloso's Tunnel A Complex lies a submarine mine defence casement, which was used by British troops to prepare and inspect mines for defending Singapore's southern coast during World War II.
While much of the complex - the fort's longest and largest tunnel - is accessible to the public, the casement, about the size of a Housing Board living room, has been off limits.
But from later this month, some will be granted special access to it as part of events to mark the 79th anniversary of Singapore's fall.
The Fort Siloso Rediscovery Tour, which features the casement, is one of 17 tours and programmes put together by the National Heritage Board (NHB) and NHB's Museum Roundtable (MR) members, citizen historians and heritage enthusiasts.
This year's Battle for Singapore programme runs from Saturday (Feb 20) to March 14, and aims to remind Singaporeans that the current pandemic is not the first and worst crisis that the country has had to face, said NHB director of international and museum relations Gerald Wee.
"In revisiting Singapore's war experience and the stories of resilience of our forefathers who lived through those times, we hope that participants will be inspired by the themes of solidarity and strength that are built through adversity, even as we continue to navigate these challenging times," he added.
Mr Saifullah Kamaludin, a guide for the Fort Siloso Rediscovery Tour, said that it will be centred on the importance of defending valuable assets, like the Singapore harbour and its entrepot trade business.
Besides the mine defence casement, tour participants will be granted special access to two other installations.
The first, located right by the sea and facing Keppel Bay, is what is left of the former Siloso Pier and its neighbouring machine gun casement.
Concrete beams that once supported a jetty stick out of the harbour, marking where the only pier which served Fort Siloso stood when the fort was built in the 1870s.
Participants will also get special access to a coastal search light station, one of five that served the fort, and was used by British troops to look out for enemy vessels, especially submarines.
The lack of a paved path to the search light station means participants will have to descend a steep slope while holding on to safety ropes - one of several measures the Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) has introduced to ensure the station can be accessed.
Other efforts by the SDC, which manages Fort Siloso, include assessing soil erosion in the area and clearing shrubs and branches that might get in visitors' way, said Mr Saifullah.
Due to the difficult terrain, the tour will be open only to participants aged 18 and above. Tickets cost $5 per participant.
As 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the MR - a collective of more than 50 public and private museums and galleries here - the board worked closely with members for its Battle for Singapore programmes this year, said Mr Wee.
For instance, a new two-stop guided tour format will see participants visit either the Former Ford Factory and Singapore Discovery Centre, or the Eurasian Heritage Gallery and National Gallery Singapore, where they will hear stories from the war.
Those hoping for a Mandarin tour can register for the Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital Heritage Gallery Tour, which will take place on Feb 27 and March 7 from 10am to 11am.
They will learn how the hospital continued to serve patients during the Japanese Occupation, despite being partially destroyed by bombs.
The Battle for Singapore 2021 programmes are on a first come, first served basis.
Those interested can sign up for the tours from noon on Tuesday (Feb 16) at this website. More information on the other programmes is also available on the site.

Sentosa Island Bus Tour • 2-Hour Guided Bus Tour to Fort Siloso Skywalk, Resorts World Sentosa, Sentosa Cove and Palawan Beach
Sentosa island bus tour.
The Sentosa Island Bus Tour is a 2-hour guided tour around Sentosa, introducing the history and key attractions around each zone of the island. For this bus tour, I used 10 tokens (worth S$10) from the FREE Sentosa Fun Pass for National Day 2020 . While I got it for free, if using a Sentosa Fun Pass in general, this technically gives me a 60% discount from the usual full price of S$25.
Sentosa Island Bus Tour Meeting Point
The Sentosa Island Bus Tour meeting point is right at the Cable Car Station Ticketing Counter at Imbiah Lookout , 10 minutes prior to your choice of tour slot.
10 minutes prior to the start of the tour, the Sentosa Island Bus Tour tour guide meets up at the meeting point where your temperature is taken and tickets are scanned, followed by a separate contact tracing form to fill up. Tickets are kept by the tour guide after scanning.
Heading to the Imbiah Lookout bus stop where the Sentosa Island Tour Bus is waiting.
Boarding the Sentosa Island Tour Bus
The Sentosa Island Tour Bus is a Mitsubishi Fuso Rosa wrapped in a One Faber Group livery.
Before boarding, participants need to check in via SafeEntry into the tour bus.
There is ample social distancing inside the tour bus.
As the tour starts, the tour guide introduces himself and the driver for the tour, along with a short history of Sentosa, or rather, Pulau Belakang Mati .
Fort Siloso Skywalk
The first stop in the Sentosa Island Bus Tour is the Fort Siloso Skywalk. Just the Skywalk though, not Fort Siloso. Each stop lasts for 20 minutes.
Heading to the queue for the Fort Siloso Skywalk. There is a capacity limit of 14 people on the Fort Siloso Skywalk with safe distancing measures.
Queuing up for the lift once enough people have exited the Fort Siloso Skywalk and I checked in with SafeEntry.
The view of Siloso Beach from the top of the lift tower.
The Fort Siloso Skywalk is 11 storeys high and 181 meters long, offering a shortcut treetop trek to Fort Siloso. You can also come here without the Sentosa Island Bus Tour, entry to Fort Siloso Skywalk and Fort Siloso is free.
An information panel describes the scenery in front of the Fort Siloso Skywalk.
Looking out to Keppel Bay.
Looking out to HarbourFront and a bit of the former Underwater World.
20 minutes is not enough time to head to Fort Siloso, but walking trails there are self-guided and you can do it without a tour.
Heading back to the waiting tour bus after the Fort Siloso Skywalk visit.
Resorts World Sentosa (Entrance of Universal Studios Singapore)
The next stop is Resorts World Sentosa, or rather, the outside of Universal Studios Singapore where the Entrance Globe is. Another 20 minutes stop here.
This is probably a compulsory photo stop for foreign tourists going to Sentosa, otherwise, have they really been to Sentosa?
The 20-minute stop also allowed time to walk around some shops in this area.
Heading back to the tour bus which is parked at the coach stand. Too bad I can’t catch the TS1 from here to JB any time soon.
Sentosa Cove Drive-Pass
Next, the bus goes around Sentosa Cove. I thought that there might be a chance to see the houses beyond the checkpoints, but to my disappointment, the tour simply followed the Bus B route for the drive-pass.
Making a short stop of a few seconds to see some yatchs at Quayside Isle from the bus.
Passing by Sentosa Cove Village on the way out.
Passing by the other end of the Sentosa Golf Club driving range.
Palawan Beach
Next on the agenda is Palawan Beach, slightly differing from the advertised Southernmost Point of Continental Asia on the official website , but I would soon find out why the tour guide didn’t tout it as such.
Walking along the Singapore-style beach social distancing.
Just like everywhere else in Singapore, a maximum of a group of 5 can be clustered together. On top of that, there are safe-distancing squares on the beach for each group to place themselves in.
A sample of an empty square for the next group to come and fill. The beach is also separated into segments to minimise mingling between groups and probably for ease of contact tracing too.
Each beach segment has an individual entrance.
More likely than not, the beach gets full in the afternoon, and some queuing is expected. From 17 October 2020, reservations will need to be made to enter the beach on peak periods (Saturdays, Sundays, and Public Holidays). Bookings can be made up to 7 days before the intended beach visit.
Southernmost Point of Continental Asia
I was wondering why the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia was so empty.
After asking one of the patrolling Safe Distancing Ambassadors, it turns out that the suspension bridge between Palawan Beach and Southernmost Point of Continental Asia was closed for maintenance. Ah well.
And by the way, if you don’t know it yet, the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia on Palawan Beach is just for a photo op, and is actually not the geographical southernmost point of Asia.
The actual southernmost point of the big piece of continental Asia (without islands) is at Tanjung Piai, Johor, and the actual southernmost point of Asia is Pamana Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
It’s not even the southernmost point on Sentosa – it’s at Sentosa Cove behind someone’s house at 123 Cove Drive.
Heading back to the tour bus waiting at Palawan Beach bus stop.
Slowly passing a former British barracks on Allanbrooke Road, which is now So Spa.
Passing by the hoarded-up Merlion.
Return Back To Imbiah Lookout
The tour ends back at Imbiah Lookout, where the tour concludes.
Overall, a good introductory tour of Sentosa that foreign tourists should go for to know the resort island better before deciding further on which attractions to go for later in the day.
I just wished that the Sentosa Island Bus Tour (or perhaps a new localised tour) would include a visit to the SDC Depot off Artillery Avenue in future to see the various transport vehicles there, just like how there was a visit to the maintenance area of the Singapore Cable Car Mount Faber Line in the Mount Faber Gai Gai Tour .
The tour guide had a little secret up his sleeve during the tour, and I followed him back to the ticketing counter for quite a surprise .
