Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
is a "must-see" Nature Reserve in Singapore!

We’ve been visiting Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve since moving to Woodlands which is only about 15 minutes drive with private car. We’ve found new things every time we visit the wetland start from the entrance.

The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve which managed by National Parks Board is Singapore’s first ASEAN Heritage Park and member of East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership. Its valuable biodiversity has been recognized and protected as Nature Reserve since January 2002.

What will you see inside the Wetland?

There are so many things to see especially if you have time and the right equipments to observe different types of plants and animals in Sungei Buloh.

These are images captured with 3.2 mega pixels mobile phone’s camera:

We like to see causeway from here.	The Stilt Roots beautifully prop the trees.	These pencil-like roots help the oxygen absorption.	Observe flying birds & jumping fishes here.
We wished to have zoom lens to take better pictures for you. The birds are mesmerizing.	You'll find the mural inside this observation hide while watching birds and others.	Hide your body here so you won't disturb the birds.	Time for rest after a long walk. Take time to observe the wildlife around the mud.
Are these leaves used for basketry?	Typical pathway. Please wear comfortable shoes only!	The best spot to enjoy the breeze and scenery.	See Sungei Buloh from the "Tower Hide".

Are you ready to explore the Reserve?

You may enter now from this entrance:

Walk slowly and quietly when passing through this connecting walkway between carpark and visitor centre. Enjoy fresh nutmeg, vanilla or other smell according to its season! You may see Monitor Lizard resting on the walkway. Don't panic! It will clumsily escape into the undergrowth or water when disturbed.

When you reach the visitor centre you’ll see the ticketing counter, “Nature Cove”, a fully air conditioned library, some display items at “Nature Gallery”, cafeteria, and also newly renovated gents and ladies restroom. It’s clean, fresh, bright, and modern!
