Singapore's Largest Wetlands

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve




Address:
301 Neo Tiew Crescent Singapore 718925

How to Get There:

Driving:
Getting to the wetland reserve is by no mean an easy feat. From Seletar Expressway (SLE), look out for a large brown signboard on the left of the expressway. After that, turn left into Turf Club Avenue.

Shuttle Bus:
You can take a shuttle bus from Kranji MRT Station. Click

What do you need to bring along:
- Cap/ Hat: To protect your face from the sun
- Insect Repellent: To prevent the mozzies from getting to you
- Sun Block: Hot sun, even under the canopy of the trees

What Can You Do:

Tucked away in the far corner of Singapore, it is unconceivable that an island so small and developed as Singapore could see such biodiversity, all in a small parcel of forest. But the obscure location allows the wetland to co-exist by itself and will only see visitors who are interested in learning more about nature.

During my short one hour at the wetland reserve, I was totally excited with the sightings of egrets and herons, large monitor lizards, and even otters.
