Be amazed by Sentosa Island’s latest activities and attractions

Sentosa was back at ITB Asia to promote its latest attractions, offering visitors unique nature and wellness experiences while meeting high sustainability standards…

Sentosa celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Previously used as a British military outpost to protect Singapore, the island was returned to the state of Singapore in 1967 and later transformed into a leisure destination. In 1972, the Sentosa Development Corporation was established and turned the area into a fully fledged resort with world class attractions over the next 50 years. And development is still ongoing – let the beat go on! ITB Asia visitors can learn about some of the latest add-ons to Sentosa’s portfolio at the stand.

SentoSights

Featuring more than 10 unique guided tours, SentoSights is an initiative under the Sustainable Sentosa strategic roadmap which showcases the island’s authentic offerings while helping visitors gain insights into the importance of sustainability and conservation programmes.

Guests immerse themselves in rich history and natural wonders while exploring a different side of Sentosa, with tours to extraordinary destinations such as Fort Siloso, Fort Serapong, Tanjong Rimau, and the Imbiah and Coastal Trails. Unique activities such as game-based exploration, magic demonstrations, and night time forest walks are incorporated into selected tours, allowing tourists to delve into the heritage and sustainability in a fun and engaging way. 

Extending the exotic getaway, the collection of SentoSights tours also come with the chance to explore the nearby southern islands, with activities including a sunset cruise and sustainable fishing experience in the waters around St John’s and Lazarus islands.

Guests can choose between three categories of SentoSights tours – Island Nature, Island Heritage and Island Play – each representing a key element of the island’s charm. For more details, visit sentosa.com.sg/SentoSights.
