Nature’s Beauty Awaits – Explore Today!

Sisters' Islands Marine Park Singapore

The long-anticipated reopening of Singapore’s Sisters’ Islands Marine Park is here, welcoming visitors to explore its rich marine biodiversity and scenic landscapes. After three years of upgrades, Big Sister’s Island is now equipped with new features designed for immersive experiences, including a 230-meter coastal trail and a unique floating boardwalk that lets you view vibrant coral colonies without even dipping into the water! With its forest trails, lagoons, and birdwatching points, this marine sanctuary serves as a perfect getaway for nature enthusiasts.

The park promises a closer connection to marine life, hosting mangrove habitats, coral panels, and areas for ecological experiments. Whether you’re a wildlife lover, a casual hiker, or simply seeking a scenic retreat, the Sisters’ Islands Marine Park offers a spectacular experience that merges education, recreation, and conservation in one of Singapore’s best-protected natural areas.


Key Highlights
  • Floating Boardwalk: A unique, tide-sensitive boardwalk provides easy coral viewing and habitat for marine life.
  • Coastal Forest Trail: Spanning 230 meters, this trail features native flora and a hilltop deck with breathtaking island views.
  • Lagoon Pools: Two lagoons offer safe zones for swimming and observing sea creatures like starfish and reef sharks.
