NATURE AREA GUIDELINES
Sentosa island is home to a variety of nature areas, ranging from the lush forests at Imbiah Hill and Fort Siloso, to our gardens, freshwater ponds, and golden beaches.
Some areas, such as Tanjong Rimau (Siloso Headland) and Mount Serapong, are also important biodiversity sites with a rich array of flora and fauna. To protect the natural environment and ensure the safety of our guests, visits to Tanjong Rimau and Mount Serapong are only available through guided tours by Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC),or SDC-approved tours. Guests are also urged to treat our fragile ecosystems with care, so that these nature areas continue to thrive.
A permit is required if you wish to conduct research studies, photography, filming or other programmes at any of the nature areas mentioned above.
For enquiries, please drop us an email at nature@sentosa.com.sg.
