niche
Wheelchair Accessibility
No
Just one hour is enough to explore Singapore’s outlying Southern Islands on this fast-paced, scenic cruise. Departing from Sentosa, a nimble speedboat (the Southern Albatross) whisks a small group past palm-fringed beaches, tucked-away coves, and historic fort sites as it skims along 20+ kilometers of coastline. You’ll get up-close views of natural and cultural landmarks – from the southernmost point of Asia to relics of WWII – all while enjoying sea breezes and a unique perspective on Singapore’s skyline from afar.
- Featured by Sentosa as a must-try new adventure, this express island-hopping cruise is gaining buzz for showing a different side of Singapore.
- Reviewers highlight the exhilarating yet comfortable ride and the gorgeous seascape, often praising the crew’s friendliness and the tour’s mix of nature and history.
- One of the quickest ways to see multiple isles, it’s even included in some attraction passes – perfect for time-crunched travelers who want a taste of Singapore’s offshore scenery.

Tips
- Check in at the Sentosa dock at least 15 minutes early – the boat leaves on time and won’t wait for latecomers.
- It’s a small-group boat (around 10 passengers), so everyone gets a good view; feel free to ask the guide for the best photo spots as you approach each island.
- Wear sunglasses and secure your hat – the speedboat ride can be windy, and there’s minimal shade on board.
- You’ll be given a light rain jacket if there’s a chance of rain, but consider bringing quick-dry clothing or a poncho on wet days since you’re exposed to the elements.
- Hold on tight when the boat accelerates and hits waves – it’s part of the fun, but keep your balance by staying seated or using the provided handrails.
- No bathroom breaks on this one-hour tour; use the facilities at the marina before departure.
