Tour synopsis:

If you've ever wanted to find Nemo, this is your opportunity!

The waters around Singapore, contrary to popular belief, are still teeming with marine life. And every once in a while, their world becomes accessible for a few hours. A suitably low tide and a pair of booties is all you need to explore and discover what it takes to eke out a living in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the intertidal zone.

Pulau Hantu (“Ghost Island” in Malay) are two small islets in the southern waters of Singapore, a short 1-hour boat ride away from the mainland. Its fringing coral reef is home to a wide variety of marine life, such as the iconic clownfish of Hollywood fame, colourful slugs and anemones, oddly-shaped soft corals and sea cucumbers, and more.

Don't miss this chance to get your feet wet - and this rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of these fascinating creatures from another world!
