Melo Villareal
One of my new favorite attractions to visit on Sentosa Island is the Wave House and MegaZip Adventure Park. Last year, I was there, and I had a wonderful time, but this particular trip was just stupendous. I had a tour of this amazing tourist destination in Singapore, and I have to tell you, it has moved right to the top of my favorite side trips in SG.
Wipeout
The island is located offshore from Singapore and is known as Pulau Blakang Mati, which translates to the not very fun-sounding ‘Island of Death ‘, though the name was changed in the early 1970’s to the more relaxing Sentosa. While the thrills may be somewhat death-defying on Sentosa, it is hardly an island of death; island of adventure would be a better name.
One thing that all visitors should do is take a trip on the cable car. From the harbor in Singapore, it is a ten-minute ride to the island, and arriving by cable car may be part of why I love this place. Within the island, be sure to get into the amazing water park known as the Wave House. At the Wave House you can slide, surf, and catch the big artificial waves in the wave house.
It’s a particularly nice place for families to visit. For any kind of water sport, you can find the right alternative in the wave house. Be warned, though, it can be crowded, so when you wipe out, be prepared to wait a while for your next turn. While waiting, house DJs spin great music, and the music lounge often offers a great place to have cocktails or enjoy appetizers. Parents like to sit and socialize while the kids catch waves or ride the big slides, shrieking with enjoyment.
Another great place to visit on the island is the Megazip Adventure Park. With an innovative combination of adventure, rides, fun, and nature, the Megazip has something for everyone. The engineering alone is an amazing feat.
Don’t lose your nerve, though, or you will miss out on going up the Carlsberg Sky Tower and having the amazing views of Sentosa and the entire Singapore! If you are afraid of heights, this will knock your socks off.
We were not able to try it out since we were running out of time for the Zoukout Party, but overall, I think the service was good. All the staff were helpful and really pleasant.
So, don’t wait around like I did. Head to Sentosa and discover something wonderful.
