About This Adventure Destination

Located off the southern coast of Singapore, the Sisters' Islands are a haven for nature enthusiasts and beach lovers alike. These charming isles are part of the Sisters' Islands Marine Park, the first marine park in the region, renowned for its vibrant coral reefs and intriguing marine life. The larger Big Sister Island and the smaller Little Sister Island are surrounded by azure waters teeming with biodiversity, making them a stand-out destination in the bustling city-state.

What sets the Sisters' Islands apart is their role in Singapore's marine conservation efforts. Divers and snorkelers flock here to explore the underwater gardens rich with colorful corals, sea turtles, and a variety of tropical fish. The islands also support unique flora and fauna, with coastal forests and sandy beaches offering sanctuary to numerous species.

Legend has it that the islands were formed from two sisters who were tragically transformed into stone, lending a mystical aura to the site. Whether you're keen on learning about marine conservation or simply wish to relax on pristine beaches, Sisters' Islands provide a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

We went to the Sister 1 island, a small, non-commercial island that is beautiful, peaceful, and serene—quiet and surrounded by lush greenery. The floating boardwalk is particularly interesting and adds to the charm. Truly love it here.
