Everything you Need for Fun is on Sentosa Island
Posted on May 25, 2010 under Travel | No CommentSentosa Island, off of Singapore. is a wonderful vacation choice, especially if you want to experience an entertaining, fun place. With a variety of attractions like the Tiger Sky tower, which is a free standing observation tower at a height of 110 meters above ground. Plus, the hotels on Sentosa Island offer tourist better deals than the hotels in Singapore.
Once you’re on the Island, visit the Butterfly Park and Insect Kingdom, where you’ll get to see well over 15,000 varieties of butterflies and insects; check out the Oceanarium – Underwater World and see the most fascinating marine creatures, both fresh water and saltwater species; or enjoy watching dolphins play at the Dolphin Lagoon , which is the home to the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins. There are also rides a-plenty at the Island, like the Sentosa luge and the skyride. If all those attractions have exhausted you, then head for the beaches and relax under the sun while enjoying a nice cool drink from one of the beach bars or even an ice cream; the beach is handmade , hence is perfect for any beach lover, because the sand is soft to walk on and you’ll enjoy watching huge cargo ships pass by on their way to Singapore harbour.
If you’re not staying at one of the hotels on Sentosa Island , then you can reach it either by the bridge; driving a car or taking a taxi or bus, you can take the local train, or take the Cable Car, where you’ll get a spectacular view of Singapore’s harbour, Singapore’s skyline and a great view of Sentosa Island. As you enter upon the Island, you’ll be greeted by the Merlion, a huge statue, the same as the one on Singapore, but much better and is the ultimate symbol of Singapore. Sentosa means peace and tranquillity in Malaysian, except when the monkeys, which abound freely on the Island, come across your path, just don’t feed them, they’ll never leave you alone if you do.
