Singapore: Active Holidays That Deliver

Mandai Wildlife Reserve is Singapore's world-class nature and wildlife destination, a sprawling rainforest precinct in the north of the island that brings together Singapore Zoo, River Wonders, Bird Paradise, and Night Safari under one roof. It's one of the most visited wildlife destinations in Asia, and recent investment has transformed it into a full active day out rather than a simple zoo trip.
 

Rainforest Wild Asia blends immersive zoological habitats with adventure elements set deep in lush greenery, while the freely accessible 3.3-km Mandai Boardwalk winds between attractions with serene reservoir views, a lovely way to connect the precinct on foot. New for 2026, Exploria delivers a fully immersive multimedia edutainment journey across five wildlife-themed worlds, and the next phase of Rainforest Wild expands into Afro-Tropical territory with species including the pygmy hippo and okapi, giving repeat visitors a compelling reason to return. Early-entry experiences and evening nature walks extend the day further, making Mandai an easy sell for families and active travellers looking for substance beyond the standard city break.
 

Just a short cable car ride or boardwalk crossing from Singapore's southern waterfront, Sentosa is the island's dedicated leisure and resort destination, a sun-drenched playground of beaches, hotels, and attractions that sits just minutes from the city centre yet feels like a world apart. It's where Singapore comes to play, and for active travellers it delivers an impressive concentration of thrills in a compact, walkable setting.
 

Sentosa's new anchor is SkyPark Sentosa by AJ Hackett, whose SkySlides transform into a day-to-night experience complete with music and lighting effects, a strong centrepiece for a full active day. Layer in beach sports across Sentosa's sheltered shores (wakeboarding, paddleboarding, parasailing), iFly Singapore's world-class indoor skydiving facility, the ever-popular Sentosa Luge, and family-friendly aerial zones, and the island easily fills a packed itinerary. Looking ahead, Bounce Singapore will add motion-tracked augmented games, mini zones for younger guests, and aerial courses, adding strong repeat-visit value for clients on longer stays.
