Sungei buloh is a fabulous nature reserve. Don't rush through it . Take your time and stop and look around. You will see monitor lizards, crocodiles, many species of lizards. There are also a lot of bird species to see. There have also been many sightings of King cobras. Best time to go is on a weekday, very few people and very quiet. I will be back in Singapore this September and will definitely spend a few days at sungei buloh.

It is a nature reserve park with migratory birds , worms, sandpipers of different types, whistling ducks etc. we could see crocodiles. Observation hides are available where visitors can observe the flora and fauna in the surroundings in tranquility and at a distance from the animals and birds.
Will need time to explore and good weather

Inaccessible but worth the trip. A place where if you heighten your senses, you can see a lot of creatures that lives amongst us in their natural habitat in one of the last mangrove swamps in Singapore. A good educational tour to bring the kids and children along, where they can see a lot of insects, reptiles that we don't usually see in the increasingly urban jungle we live in. Lucky to see quite a fair bit this trip...

Second time we visited Sungei Buloh and the coastal path was new to us so that was really interesting with the different pods as observatories. It's not easy to get to without public transport but we got there very early in the morning so there weren't too many people about. Once you get there and hear all the different sounds from the insects, birds, etc, it feels you're immersed in nature. We did a walk round and spotted an alligator in the water - luckily none too close up! There were some works around the reserve so some areas were cordoned off. Otherwise it was a good use of a few hours. Recommended if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We’ve been a few times on school trips but quite different having a private tour with Mr.Lim who is very knowledgeable. Our 11 and 13yr old children got a lot out of the tour. (Off electronics for a whole morning too) Managed to see a crocodile, heron, stalks, monitor lizard, mud crabs, mud lobster beds, fish, bats, spiders and webs... Learnt plant names and about them. Many of which we had taken for granted having seen them many times already. Now we know their names and all about them. Highly recommended. Great morning Mr. Lim. Thank you.

Well worth a visit to immerse yourself in nature and wildlife. Best avoided on a Sunday though as it gets incredibly busy.

Despite being a stone city, we do care for nature! Spent this morning at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve made me realized how much our National Parks Board has done through research and education to conserve this wetland. It gave us the outdoor classroom to experience what nature has to offer
Sunday morning walk at the 202 ha of this rare oasis of natural wonders and home to unique plants and animals. Following through the trails of mangroves, mudflats, ponds and forest with refreshing smell, sights and sounds of nature.
Started from the visitor centre at Kranji way, we head to the
Forest Trail, a 300metre stroll to the mid of Canopy Walk and to the Eagle Point lookout pod. There are five look out pods that could give you different views.
After completing the Coastal Trail, we continued to the Magrove Boardwalk and the Migrating Bird Trail. It was certainly a refreshing and educational morning for me. Would love to do it again.

This is well worth a visit, you can get the MRT to Kranji and from there the Kranji Countryside bus will take you round all the sights in the area. Check bus timetable before leaving as it is not very frequent. At Sungei Buloh there is a wide variety of wildlife to see birds, fish and for the me the highlight salt water crocodiles. One has been there for 12 years he has only 1/2 a tail due to a fight with another croc. It is a lovely part of Singapore with mangroves. Well worth a visit go when it is a low tide there is more chance to see the crocodiles

A marshland which has been conserved with a lot of thought, making it possible to see a wetland without impacting it ecologically. Multiple trails means you have multiple options. Heaven for birdwatchers. Remember to carry water. Best to go in the morning when park opens.

No bike in park unfortunately. At least during my last few visits I have not seen it.
Bukit Timah reserve near Wallace trail has a cross country bike track.

I would use the MRT to get closer and then a Grab taxi for the final part. Check online for the MRT map and download the Grab app if you haven't yet got it. Have a great time, hopefully you'll see some wildlife. (remember to bring food and drink, there isn't much available in the reserve).

Hi nellamay and everyone
Is there a taxi rank at Kranji MRT station to make it easy to reach the Wetland Centre? Thank you for your help, Hilary

Yes. Catch the Taxi on the MRT station side since Kranji road is a little bit south of the station.

How do you get to the reserve from Orchard Road ? Are there tours that you can book or do you have to make your own way - if so what is the best way to get there ?

Take a MRT to Kranji Station. From there take a taxi to the park. On sunday there is a bus service no.925 that will bring you right to the park.

how to get there from orchard road hotel

Taxi will be the easiest but it will cost a lot as Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves is very far away from Orchard Road.
Cheaper alternative will be to take the MRT to Kranji MRT station and take bus number 925, which runs every 15 minutes but will take 25 minutes to reach the Wetland Reserves. And you have to walk from the bus stop at the main road to the Reserves, which will take another about 30 minutes at least. Return journey will take just as long.
So, if money is not an issue, just grab a cab and go!
As for tours, may be you can check with the hotel front-desk.
