Travel Guide Singapore - Sentosa
Sentosa island famous for its dancing musical fountain, golf courses, underwater world , Nature Attractions, and many more.............!
Sentosa was once a fishing village and known as Pulau Belakang Mati during the 19th century. Now it has become a famous theme island…………. Everyone love it! Sentosa which means tranquility in Malay.
You can start your trip to Sentosa Island by bus or take a cool ride from Faber Park by cable car to the island. Entry to the Sentosa island costs S$2. Most of the attractions open at 9.00am and it close between 7.00pm to 10.00pm.
When you arrive you can either walk to all the various theme/Historical areas or take the tram which stops at various stations around the island. I suggest you start your journey in the morning so that you have more time to enjoy all the great fun.
