Kusu Island is located just 6 km (about an hour by ferry) from mainland Singapore and offers day-trippers an interesting and serene outdoor excursion away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The origin of the island is wreathed in legend, and many Singaporeans believe it to be a sacred place. You can take a public ferry to Kusu Island and spend a few hours exploring the Chinese temple, the three Malay shrines, and the tortoise sanctuary, before settling down to enjoy pristine beaches. The picturesque lagoons offer the ideal spot for swimming and if you try snorkeling, you may just be lucky enough to spot a sea turtle gliding beside you. Bring a picnic and plenty of refreshments as there are no shops on the island.
