Tour synopsis:

If you've ever wanted to find Nemo, this is your opportunity!

The waters around Singapore, contrary to popular belief, are still teeming with marine life. And every once in a while, their world becomes accessible for a few hours. A suitably low tide and a pair of booties is all you need to explore and discover what it takes to eke out a living in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the intertidal zone.

Pulau Hantu (“Ghost Island” in Malay) are two small islets in the southern waters of Singapore, a short 1-hour boat ride away from the mainland. Its fringing coral reef is home to a wide variety of marine life, such as the iconic clownfish of Hollywood fame, colourful slugs and anemones, oddly-shaped soft corals and sea cucumbers, and more.

Don't miss this chance to get your feet wet - and this rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of these fascinating creatures from another world!

Recommended minimum age: 10 years

The intertidal area is not a playground, there's venomous and poisonous creatures, such a stonefishes, stingrays or jellyfishes around. Participants need to follow the guide at all times for their safety and also the safety of the animals. The organizer cannot be held liable for any damages, losses, etc. of the participants’ own belongings or injuries to persons caused during the walk.

The walk itself will be about 2 hours, and we may have to wade through knee-deep water and across patches where the substrate is fairly soft.

Trip will end after dark, remember to bring a torch!
