With initial plans laid down and executed in the early 1970’s, the Sentosa Island of Singapore has become popular the world over for being, as the Singaporeans themselves term it, Asia’s favourite playground. This island resort is home to a large number of attractions appealing to both children and adults with the Tiger Sky Tower, Sentosa Cineblast and the Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon being among the favourites.
The Underwater World and Dolphin Lagoon remains one of the main attractions of the Sentosa Island and is also one that is known across the world. It is said to display more than two thousand types of marine life as well as a transparent tunnel which allows visitors to observe a myriad of colourful marine life. What makes this oceanarium extremely exciting for its visitors is that also offers a number of adventures which includes swimming with the dolphins and diving with the sharks. In addition it also has a separate area to showcase humpback dolphins, fondly called pink dolphins in their Dolphin Lagoon. The Oceanarium also carries out several conservation initiatives with regard to pink dolphins, dugong and corals.
After spending a fun filled day in the oceanarium, make your way to the reflexology centre to end your adventure on a relaxing note as little fish nibble and exfoliate your feet to reveal healthier and revitalised skin. For a person wishing to visit the Underwater World, the administration of Sentosa have made booking and ticketing much easier by allowing them to book these adventures online. The entrance ticket for adults are priced at close to 26 dollars while children under 3 years may enter free of charge.
After an adventurous day, it would surely be delightful to return to one of the luxury hotels Singapore to rest and rejuvenate yourself as you will definitely need more than one day to experience the amazing variety of attractions and entertainment that Sentosa has to offer. Opt for a hotel like the St. Regis Singapore for its location on Orchard Road which makes exciting, high end shopping a convenient reality. Reputed for being one of the best 5 star hotels Singapore, this hotel will provide you with the luxurious opulence you deserve.
