Top Singapore Day Trips: Discover Nearby Adventures

Day-trippers from Singapore can swap the urban skyline for the rustic charm of Pulau Ubin—reachable by a short boat ride—where cycling trails wind through kampung villages and mangrove wetlands, or head to Sentosa for sun-drenched beaches, thrilling rides and panoramic cable-car views. Just across the Causeway lies Johor Bahru, perfect for bargain shopping and local eats, while a longer coach journey brings you to Malacca’s UNESCO-listed streets and historic riverfront. A quick ferry hop takes you to Batam and Bintan, known for sandy shores, golf courses and vibrant nightlife, and closer to home, nature lovers can explore rainforest treks and treetop walks at MacRitchie Reservoir and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve—all ideal for a refreshing day escape.
