“Nice little gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I have been there several times now and I enjoy it every time. It is a very nice daytrip, although you don't see many animals at lunchtime (and now in february). But you can spot monitor lizzards, snakes, otters, birds, etc. and I would definitely recommend a visit there. Paths are paved and easy going (shady) and you can decide, whether you want to walk for 30mins or for 1 1/2 hours (big or small loops).

How to get there: red mrt line to kranji station, bus 925, get out at Kranji reserve and walk 1.5km (20min) during the week (at weekends, you don't have to walk, bus stops in front of the entrance). Entrance for free from Mo-Fr and only 1S$ at weekends..
There is a nice little restaurant with (fast) food as well but I would recommend to bring water (or at least refill it at the entrance.).

Don't miss this one in Singapore when you have time for it!

“wet day but nice walk”

Went to visit the reserve on a rainy day, but well covered we had a nice long walk and could switch off from the hectic city life!
Make sure to take insect repellant with you, a lot of mosquitos around that area!

“Great day out! The monitor lizards were awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Enjoyed the day out at the reserve - is a 360 experience of sights and sounds as you are surrounded by the rich and diverse flora and fauna of the tropical wetlands. Caught a couple of rarely seen birds and it was awesome! With insect repellant and long pants/ light colored clothing, mozzies was never an issue. However, giant monitor lizards walking alongside the path/walkway was quite an experience (scary one as well)! But they are actually quite tame.

If you do not have time to cover the whole route, go for Route 3. IMO, it is the easiest and best route to take!

“True Definition of Oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

In this concrete jungle,you tend to appreciate every bit of greens. Especially when most Singaporeans aren't that adventurous to venture into the amazon,this is the closest we could get to it and away from the painful office politics.

“Nature at its best”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Not quite accessible by public transport but worth the effort to get close to nature.
