Island hopping
Visiting some of Singapore’s offshore islands is a delightful way to spend the day. For instance, hop aboard a ferry from Changi Point on the east coast to Pulau Ubin and be transported back to 1960s Singapore thanks to the last traditional remaining Kampung villages and the Chek Jawa wetland reserve with its cycle trails and footpaths.
Sentosa Island is a hub of endless fun and adventure for families. From the exhilarating Luge rides to splash-tastic fun at The Palawan – including Hydrodash, Hyperdrive, and Splash Tribe – there's something for everyone. Don't miss the chance to soar over the island on a zipwire, relax on sandy beaches, or take a scenic ride on the cable car. And of course, a visit to Universal Studios is a must for thrilling rides and entertainment.
Canopy Park at Jewel Changi
Jewel Changi Airport is not just a transit hub; it's a destination in itself. The Canopy Park, located at the topmost level, features walking trails, foggy bowls, and the Sky Nets – all set amidst lush greenery. It's a magical place where families can enjoy leisurely walks, take in the stunning architecture, and even catch the famous Rain Vortex in action.
Simple Pleasures
Amongst the grandeur, don’t miss out on the simple pleasures Singapore has to offer. Savour the local delight that is an ice cream sandwich from a street vendor, take an evening bicycle ride around Marina Bay, or splash around in the Gardens by the Bay Children’s Garden. Gardens by the Bay has a whole host of thrilling activities that should be a must-visit on everyone’s list. Find out how plants disperse their seeds, how mushrooms benefit rainforest communities, and how plants adapt to adverse environments, there is sure to be an abundance of colour and life that will brighten your day.

Hurtigruten’s 12-day classic Coastal Express itinerary is the ultimate way to see the Norwegian coast, taking you from cosmopolitan Bergen in the south to the edge of Europe at the North Cape and Kirkenes, then back again, covering much more of Norway than other cruise lines and visiting many smaller ports they can’t reach.
