We all love adventure, and we all know that there is a small lack of possible thrilling activities in Singapore. Sit down at a reserved Hawker Center seat, have a Chewing gum in the MRT, that’s about it. But no!
For all nature loving and people who love to do something else beside cinema and desert, there are actually a couple of great activities out there in Singapore.
Just like Tarzan - Find out about the best Tree Top Adventures in Singapore now!
1. Forest Adventure
I just found out about this one yesterday while running at Bedok reservoir (which I later regretted due to overheating and sunburn).
Forest Adventure is an aerial course built through the trees comprising ladders, bridges, swings, nets, trapezes and giant zip lines. Equipped with a harness and a helmet and attached to a safety line, participants get to swing from tree to tree and zip across the Bedok Reservoir.
It looked good fun and officially takes 2 hours to complete the course, reservations are required!

2. Tree Top Walk
This is probably the most prominent “Tree Top Adventure” in Singapore. Situated in the great MacRitchie Reservoir park, you will have to hike quite a bit until you finally reach this highlight, but it’s really worth it.
A great long free hanging bridge, high above the nature reserves tree tops, with monkeys around you a great place to visit and enjoy for the whole family.

3. Singapore Zoo Tree Walk
I enjoyed this walk a lot, where you can not only watch the many different birds and monkeys jumping from tree to tree, but also the Alligators right below your feet swimming through the shallow water.
Its close to the entrance and very easy to access. Have fun!
A very nice panoramic view of the Tree Top Walk can be seen HERE!

lol, will never forget that Henderson Waves. Went there twice during a visit in Singapore and it was pouring during both times. Word of advice, bring an brolly along if you’re going for a long walk in Singapore. :)
