Singapore is
not just one island, but a main island with over 50
surrounding islets. Some of Singapore's smaller islands offer
a quiet respite from the big city with their laid-back
ambience, idyllic beaches and inviting waters.
Pulau
Ubin is a window into Singapore 30 years ago - thatched
huts, backyard orchards, dirt tracks and interesting wildlife.
St. John's Island, a former
penal colony which has been transformed into a tranquil resort
with abundant watersport activities and holiday bungalows,
makes an ideal getaway.
Kusu
or "Turtle" Island is best known for its legend
of how a giant turtle turned itself into an island in order to
save two shipwrecked sailors, a Malay and a Chinese. Lazarus
and Sisters Islands are some of the other easily accessible
tropical paradises known for snorkelling and diving. Simply
catch a ferry from the Singapore Cruise Centre at the World
Trade Centre or hire your own boat from Jardine Steps,
Clifford Pier or the Changi Jetty.
