Singapore is one of the most popular and travelled-to cities in the world, often cited as a shining example of what a modern city should be. There's plenty of exciting activities to experience here as well, here's a look at some of the very best adventure activities you can try out.
Few things are as exhilarating as diving from up high and freefalling at break-neck speed – all in complete safety of course! There are plenty of great bungee jumping locations to choose from in Singapore, particularly if you're staying at a City Hall hotel Singapore has on offer – say, for example, the Grand Park City Hall. If you want to take your bungee jumping to the next level, you can try your hand at reverse bungee jumping here in Singapore! This allows you to reach heights of up to 60 metres at over 200 kilometres per hours. Now if that doesn't get your blood pumping, nothing will.
Ziplining can be both exhilarating and serene at the same time. While your body is doused in adrenaline during that initial cast off, the picturesque scenery tends to calm you down as the ride progresses. In Singapore, you can zipline across beaches and verdant stretches of the forest – the experience is sure to stick with you for years to come.
Cable skiing is essentially water skiing. However, instead of being pulled by a boat, you'll be dragged across the surface by a long cable! This is defi nitely one of the more unique spins on the sport that you'll see and you owe it to yourself to try it out while you're here in Singapore.
Ever wondered what it was like to literally fly in the air? Well, wonder no more – all you have to do is visit iFly Singapore. Here in an air-conditioned wind tunnel, you can experience what it is like to float across the sky at your own pace. You can enjoy a similar experience at several other establishments that offer indoor sky-diving. These essentially simulate the absolute thrill of a 10,000-footfall when in reality you're just floating a few feet above the ground.
Adventure Cove Water Park is a must-visit location for all thrill-seekers that are visiting Singapore. There's a litany of activities to try out here, ranging from fascinating snorkelling adventures to exciting trips through white-water rapids!
For those of you who want to break a sweat when getting their adrenaline fix, consider a trip to one of Singapore's premier jungle obstacle courses. These will allow you to live out your inner Tarzan fantasy as you try to navigate complex obstacle courses that'll take you through dense brush and forest canopies.
Now you may have visited zoos a great many times, but have you ever wondered what goes on in there after dark? Well, that's exactly what you can find out by visiting Singapore's Night Safari Park. Here you can witness the natural behaviours of many different animals after the sun sets.
