SINGAPORE'S SOUTHERN ISLANDS
In the warm waters surrounding Singapore
are dozens of smaller islands. Each tiny
bit of tranquil beach and tropical greenery
will charm you with its uniqueness...


 
Legend has it that a magical turtle turned itself into an island to save two shipwrecked sailors - one, a Malay and the other, a Chinese. Now a Malay shrine and a Chinese Temple stand as reminders of that day so long ago. Each year, in the ninth lunar month, thousands of devotees flock to Kusu island on their annual pilgrimage. They throw coins in the Wishing Well in the hope that their wishes will come true. Kusu Island's blue lagoons and pristine white beaches welcome picnickers and sun-seekers, a haven for those who love frolicking in the sun.
In Tortoise Sanctuary is home to hundreds of tortoises and the Turtle Lagoon and Pavilion is a favourite with children and adults like.
The trip to Kusu Island with FANTASY CRUISES will bring you quiet day by the beach or an island-hopping outing. You'll find it well worth the ride.

 
PULAU SEKANG is a quaint village on stilts that time has forgotten. This is the Singapore that Raffles saw in 1819 - one traditional Malay fishing village. A handful of villagers lead simple lives in their wooden houses and sturdy boats. Shells and coral are available at bargain prices but there's no charge for the menagerie of birds, monkeys and goats.
 
PULAU HANTU "Hantu" is the Malay word for ghost and Pulau Hantu was aptly named. For it was here that ancient Malay warriors once dueled to the death. Despite the forbidden name, Pulau Hantu is a favourite with fishing and snorkeling enthusiasts because of its sheltered beaches and inviting waters.
 
LAZARUS ISLAND is yet another island with lush tropical vegetation, golden sands and aquamarine waters. For this reason, it is earmarked by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board for development into an inviting tropical beach resort island.
 
SISTERS ISLAND Two tranquil islands, Subar Laut and Subar Darat, are known as Sisters Island. Separated only by narrow strip of sea, their beaches laze in the sun and warm blue waters make snorkeling a favourite pastime. Abundant shade, beach shelters and conveniences make these islands popular with picnickers.
 
SENTOSA is the largest and most famous of all the Southern Islands.
