The Enchanting Island of Sentosa (Day 3 in Singapore)


On our third day in Singapore, we visited Sentosa Island. There are numerous of activities to do in the island. To reach it, you need to ride an MRT going to Harbour Front. From there, you have to walk to the third floor of Vivo City (0.2 kilometers away) to look for a connecting MRT that will take you to Sentosa Island. A payment of 5sgd (or at least 150php) is needed for an unlimited transportation ride in the island. You do not have to pay when you ride in the tram, bus, and MRT within Sentosa as it is already included in the 5sgd fare you have paid.



There are four stations in Sentosa Island.



Sentosa Station is the first station along the Sentosa Express. It is where you are going to purchase a ticket that will allow you for an unlimited ride in the island. After paying 5sgd, you are going to wait for the monorail to arrive. Prepare yourself for an exciting adventure in the island!



Waterfront Station is the second station of Sentosa Express monorail. Lime green is the color code of this station. Here you can visit the Resorts World, theme park, and the famous Universal Records. The entrance fee in the UR is 55sgd.



Imbiah Station is the third station along the Sentosa Express. Its color code is purple. In this station, you can try the Imbiah Lookout which allow you to see the whole view of Sentosa from above. There are also other attractions that will keep you occupied such as Sentosa Luge & Skyride, Images of Singapore, Tiger Sky Tower, Sentosa 4D Magix, Butterfly Park and Singapore Cable Car. The Images of Singapore exhibits a unique performance called “Songs of the Sea”. A wonderful combination of sing, dance and acting presentation plus magnificent fireworks will melt your heart out! You will never regret with the 10sgd (around 330php) you have paid!



Beach Station is the fourth and last station along the Sentosa Express monorail. Blue is its color code. The three famous beaches in Singapore such as Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach, and Tanjong Beach can be found in this station.
