This is a chance to get your feet wet - and a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of fascinating creatures from the marine world!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 are 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.Important NotesDue to the high overheads, a minimum number of participants is needed for the trip to proceed. Trip will be cancelled should the required minimum number of participants not be met 3 days prior to the trip date. Your ticket will be refunded in this case.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 intertidal walk itself will be about 2 hours, and you may have to wade through knee-deep water and across patches where the substrate is fairly soft.Recommended age: 10 years and above. There is no minimum age requirement and it is up to the parents' good judgement whether the activity is suitable for their children.
