Singapore’s Wild Side: A Scenic Stroll Through Sungei Buloh
#favouriteitinerary
Tucked away in the northwestern reaches of Singapore, Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is a haven of tranquility, rich in biodiversity and natural beauty. Once a hub for fish and prawn farming, the area has transformed into a thriving ecosystem of mangrove forests, tidal ponds, and mudflats, attracting a fascinating array of wildlife, from graceful grey herons to the occasional saltwater crocodile.
Our visit was a slow and unhurried one, leading us to Eagle Point, a picturesque boardwalk that offers sweeping views of Johor, Malaysia. Along the way, we passed Kranji Dam and the Mid Canopy Walk, where the rustling of leaves and the gentle movement of water created a soothing retreat from the city's fast pace. On clear days, the sky stretches endlessly, its blue expanse mirrored perfectly on the water’s surface.
Though the reserve extends beyond, with more trails and discoveries waiting, Eagle Point was the perfect place to pause, take in the scenery, and enjoy the serenity of the wetlands. For those seeking a peaceful escape into nature without the demands of a strenuous hike, this is an ideal spot to slow down and appreciate Singapore’s wilder side.
To get there, take Bus 925 from Kranji MRT Station, alight at Sungei Buloh Car Park B, and take a short walk along Neo Tiew Crescent into the reserve.
