10 Adventurous Activities In Singapore To Get Your Adrenaline Pumping
If you thought Singapore was the perfect place to visit for quality shopping and eating, you’d be right. But it’s also a destination packed with thrills that’ll get your adrenaline pumping.
From swinging at high speeds 40 metres off a beach and swimming with sharks to speeding around a racecar track and riding a duelling coaster, here are 10 ways to feel alive on your next Singapore sojourn.
Go On A Sky High Adventure
Swing through the treetops at 60 kilometres per hour, let your stomach drop on a 15-metre free-fall simulator and climb through obstacles 15 metres above the ground at Mega Adventure Park on Sentosa island. On MegaZip you’ll speed along a 450-metre-long and 75-metre tall zip line right down to beautiful Siloso Beach, while MegaJump replicates a free-fall parachute jump without the risk of broken bones, thanks to a trusty safety wire and harness situation. And if you’re not done with the thrills you can give MegaClimb’s treetop obstacle course a go. But if all that has you feeling queasy, MegaBounce is a little tamer and so fun you won’t even realise you’re jumping 8 metres into the air.
Rocket Through A Rollercoaster On Water
Adventure Cove Waterpark in Sentosa is home to the Riptide Rocket, a hydro-magnetic rollercoaster that’ll have you white-knuckling your tube. A thrilling water-based rollercoaster, expect to plunge, twist, turn and climb at high speed as magnets pull you up the slides that are nestled into treetops.
Skydive Indoors
iFly’s indoor skydiving tunnels have popped up around most Australian cities, but the one in Singapore is hands down the best. Try to catch a glimpse of Sentosa Island out the window as winds at speeds of 230 kilometres per hour float you above ground. Yes, your cheeks will blow out like a chipmunk’s, but that won’t stop you from buying an extra go, so just book in for three turns right from the beginning.
Swim With Sharks
If swimming with sharks in a confined space sounds right up your alley you’ll be glad to know you can do it in Singapore. Cosy up with up to 100 sharks at Sentosa’s S.E.A. Aquarium. Admire the endangered scalloped hammerhead, silvertip and sandbar sharks, among nine other species. Don’t worry though, these big fish think you’re friends, not food. Read More…
