It is completely the way of thinking and the way of projection. Yes true. It is we who need to stand for ourselves and make our own lives. When we are clear with the fact that it is our life and nobody has the right to take charge of it, it is the moment when we realize the importance of the valuable moments in our life. Each moment is countable, which is owned and governed by us. So why not create our own life, which simply means Make Moments.
Sentosa Island
Sentosa Island is one of the most desirable and main attractions for which people plan their travel to Singapore. I belong to a similar genre of people who have a huge interest in visiting Sentosa (Marina is also on the list). First of all, I would clear the confusion people generally have between Sentosa and Universal Studios. Sentosa is the name of the island itself. The entire island is Sentosa. Universal Studios is located on Sentosa Island, which in itself needs a minimum of one day of visit. Hence, you need at least two days for your visit to Sentosa Island.
It was that first night in Singapore, when we made our visit to Little India, and we had plans for Sentosa early morning. We were looking for the tickets for Sentosa online. Nitin and, had lots of discussion that night. Now, the question is, what was the point of the discussion on buying one ticket? So, travelling to Sentosa is not that easy when it comes to deciding on choosing a few from nineteen activities. Yes, you read it right! There is re total of nineteen fun activities on Sentosa, where I have already excluded Universal Studios for the next day.
In a Nutshell, I would say if you want to explore every activity, and you are a slow turtle like us in terms of exploring a place, then you need to give your 3 or 4 or maybe 5 days to ‘Sentosa Island’ itself, for which tickets are available accordingly. So here I am to the Rescue. I will help you out in this decision-making by telling you my story! My thoughts!
How to Travel to Sentosa Island
There are three ways to travel to Sentosa Island, which include
a. Cable Car is the most expensive way to travel to Sentosa, but at the same time provides you with a fun, fun-filled view of the city. So it is all up to your desire if you want to experience one. No doubt you won’t regret it either. One needs to take a drop at ‘Mount Faber’ MRT (Metro Station) to catch the Cable Car to Sentosa Island. The cost of which is SG$40 per person (this is approximately INR 1850). The cable car is operational from 08:45 AM to 10:00 PM, where the last boarding at 09:30 PM. Sentosa Express is a monorail that is connected with the ‘HarborFront’ MRT (Metro Station), also known as ‘Vivo City Mall, to Sentosa Island. The cost of which is SG$4 per person (this is approximately INR 185).
b. Sentosa itself is a large island. Hence, Sentosa Express can be accessed for free inside Sentosa Island from one point to another. Also, to inform you that returning via Sentosa Express to ‘HarbourFront’ MRT is not chargeable (one needs to buy an MRT ticket just for entering via Sentosa Express).
c. Sentosa Boardwalk is another way out available to enter Sentosa Island for free. No entry fee is required for the boardwalk. Also, the boardwalk is just 1 to 1.5 kilometres long on foot, which is also properly covered. For a true traveller, I don’t guess it’s too much. Sentosa is asking for. Sentosa Fun Pass
Tickets for ‘Sentosa Island’ are known as Sentosa Fun Pas, which can be bought from the top floor of the Vivo City Mall. This Fun Pass further has three variants, namely,
Play Max Fun Pass lets you access all 19 attractions for 1 day from 9:00 A.M. The cost of this pass is US$80 (this is approximately INR 5300 per person). 5-Attraction Day Fun Pass lets you access 5 attractions of your choice for 1 day. Attractions of your choice to be chosen from the list mentioned above. The cost of 5 5-Attraction Day Fun Pass is US$45 per person (this is approximately INR 2900).
3-Attraction Day Fun Pass lets you access 3 attractions of your choice for 1 day. The cost of 3 3-Attraction Fun Pass is US$34 (this is approximately INR 2200). Yes, this is the one I chose due to time constants. Truly speaking, this proved to be the best day for us. Let me explain how.
All the attractions in Sentosa Island are executed at their fixed time. Also, each and every attraction is located at a distance from the others. The first timer obviously is going to consume some of their time in finding the location and reaching out there on time.
What NitSa Chose
Honestly speaking, S.E.A. Aquarium topped the list out of all attractions for NitSa. Another attraction of interest for us was ‘Wings of Time’. Both these attractions were chosen by us as per our taste of interest, and also reviews online. We never wanted to skip these two from the very beginning. The third attraction was not required to be optimal. 3-Attraction Fun Pass comes with a deal which says that if you choose S.E.A Aquarium, then you have to visit the K-Live show as your third attraction. So K-Live somehow became our third attraction.
S.E.A. Aquarium. We were at Sentosa Island at around 10:00 AM. Going by the map of Sentosa Island, we headed to the A. Aquarium. It is located nearby to the Boardwalk. As soon as we reached the end of the Sentosa Boardwalk, we took the right as per the map. ‘Trick Eye Museum’ was located to the very right. Moving further, following the same lane, we reached the S.E.A. Aquarium. K-Livee Sentosa is located nearby to the SEA Aquarium. It is 40 minutes 40-minute-long show. The show timing was 05:00 PM, 06:00 PM, or 07:00 PM. Meanwhile, we had a fun time at Sentosa Beach. After enjoying our lunch (about which I have mentioned below in ‘Eating Options at Sentosa’ Column) and fun time at Sentosa Beaches (details coming soon), we headed straight to K- Live show, which was unintentionally added as one of three attractions because of the SEA Aquarium. It is a Hologram Theatre in Singapore that features K–pop stars. Hologram technology lets K-pop stars perform at their best convenience and interact with their fans.
