What is Hantu Island in Singapore?

Hantu Island is a small island located off the coast of Singapore, and is known for its beautiful coral reefs and diverse marine life. The island is a popular destination for snorkeling and diving, and offers a unique opportunity to explore Singapore's underwater world. The oil tankers around do tend to kick up some sand though so you won't get great visibility here. The marine biodiversity here is so rich that the government had plans to create a marine sanctuary here - but the plans were dropped after opposition from conservationists. So it's actually a great place to do an intertidal walk to spot marine life!

Can I camp on Hantu Island, and what other activities are available?

Camping is not currently allowed on Hantu Island, but visitors can still enjoy a range of activities on the island such as intertidal walks and watersports. A popular thing to do is to take a yacht out to Hantu Island and enjoy water activities by the island, and chill on the yacht to watch the beautiful sunset here. It's important to note that visitors are not allowed to remove or damage any marine life or natural resources on the island, and are expected to practice responsible tourism behaviors.

About

Pulau Hantu is a tiny island off the coast of Singapore, popular with divers (though the visibility here isn't great). The marine biodiversity here is so rich that the government had plans to create a marine sanctuary here - but the plans were dropped after opposition from conservationists.

Fun fact: Pulau Hantu also means Ghost Island in Malay. Not because any ghosts have been sighted here, but because during high tide, the middle part of the island disappears like a ghost!
