So, you’ve scored seats for Wings of Time—the show where lasers, pyrotechnics, and gorgeously choreographed fountains turn Sentosa’s beach into pure nighttime magic. But guess what? Your perfect day doesn’t have to begin and end with those awe-inspiring fireworks. Sentosa has packed everything around Siloso Beach with beach bars, adventure sports, scenic rides, family-friendly thrills, and food options fit for every mood. Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve lined up the best spots and experiences within easy reach, so your Wings of Time trip becomes one you’ll be talking about long after the smoke clears. 

Our favorite things to do near Wings of Time Fireworks Symphony include:

SkyHelix Sentosa: Panoramic Thrills With a Breeze 

Ever wanted a 360-degree view that stretches from Sentosa to Singapore’s skyline—while your feet dangle in the air? SkyHelix Sentosa is a crowd favorite for that exact reason. This open-air ride literally lifts you up above the palm trees and rooftops as you gently spiral skyward. With nothing between you and the breeze, you won’t just snap epic selfies—you’ll feel positively elated as the view swings open all around you. 

We love how SkyHelix’s vibe is both exhilarating and relaxed. In the daytime, it feels energizing and bright; at sunset, it turns golden and romantic. Best of all, you can sip a cold drink as you float above the world—cheers to new heights! Whether you’re out with friends or looking for something fun before the fireworks, SkyHelix delivers a unique twist on sightseeing you won’t soon forget. 

Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett: Daredevil Playground 

Adrenaline seekers, this one’s for you! Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett cranks up the pulse with everything from a gravity-defying bungee jump (yes, from a real tower!) to the swooping Giant Swing and a walk-the-plank style Skybridge. If you crave high-energy action, nothing beats the thrill of free-falling toward Sentosa’s sandy stretches—with all your family and friends cheering you on below. 

Even spectators get in on the action, since the park’s sky-high viewing decks serve up awesome views (and some seriously memorable “did you see that?!” moments). Whether you leap, swing, or just watch the brave ones, Skypark keeps energy high and the selfies coming. It’s the perfect way to inject adventure between day-tripping and nighttime fireworks on Sentosa. 

Singapore Cable Car: Fly Above the Fun

Singapore Cable Cars

For a magical journey with minimal effort, the Singapore Cable Car offers a sky-high link between Sentosa and Mount Faber. Board your cozy cabin at Sentosa’s station and glide over lush canopies, sparkling waters, and sprawling resorts as the city unfolds beneath your feet. It’s the perfect way to see Singapore’s southern coast (and snap envy-inducing photos). 

By day, the panorama gives you a sense of Sentosa’s playful sprawl; by night, city lights reflect off the water as distant ships twinkle in the bay. Arrive just before sunset for the sweetest transition between afternoon and evening—it’s a natural prelude to the evening’s spectacle at Wings of Time. 

Scentopia: Fragrant Wonder in the Heart of Sentosa 

For something delightfully different, walk over to Scentopia—a one-of-a-kind space where you’ll dive nose-first into the world of perfumes and Singapore’s most treasured flowers. This interactive perfume-making experience lets you explore floral trails packed with orchids and frangipani, or mix your very own signature scent as a souvenir. 

The vibe here is creative and hands-on, blending nature with a touch of science. We love how it’s both educational and uplifting. It’s perfect for solo travelers, couples, or families wanting a mellow break from all that adrenaline. After a session at Scentopia, you’ll breeze into Wings of Time carrying both a unique memory and, quite possibly, the fragrance that will always remind you of Sentosa. 

Sentosa 4D AdventureLand: Movie Magic You Can Feel 

Who says only the fireworks should wow your senses? Sentosa 4D AdventureLand packs motion-sim rides, interactive shoot-outs, and wind-in-your-face movie thrills into one joyous playground. Pop in for a wild-west gold rush, swashbuckle your way through pirate-infested seas, or test your reflexes in an immersive, interactive journey—all with eye-popping effects that make you part of the action. 

It’s the kind of all-ages fun that’s impossible not to smile through. The air-conditioned indoor setting feels like a sweet escape from the heat, and every ride leaves you with a grin and maybe a few delighted shrieks. If you’ve got kids (or just a lively inner child yourself), this is a Sentosa rain-or-shine essential. 

Madame Tussauds Singapore: Rub Shoulders With Celebrities 

Step off the beach and into the glamor of Madame Tussauds Singapore, where waxworks aren’t just for staring—they’re for mimicking, posing, and ultimate name-dropping. You’ll find yourself singing with Taylor Swift, shaking hands with Lee Kuan Yew, or striking an action pose alongside superheroes in the Marvel Universe section. 

With themed zones spanning sports, music, and Singaporean icons, Madame Tussauds is one big smile-inducing photo op. What we especially like? The “Spirit of Singapore” boat ride—a mini immersive journey through the city’s top sights and vibrant gardens. It’s playful, proudly local, and always fun before hitting the sand for fireworks o’clock. 

Albatross Hop-On Hop-Off Speedboat: Ride the Waves

Albatross Hop-On Hop-Off Speedboat

Want to feel the spray of the sea and zip past Sentosa’s landmarks? Jump aboard the Albatross Hop-On Hop-Off Speedboat and discover Singapore’s southern isles with the wind in your hair. It’s a faster, cooler way to sightsee—whether you’re chasing adventure or just want to cool off between planned stops. 

You’ll catch glimpses of city skyscrapers, container ships, and palm-fringed coastlines in quick, thrilling bursts. What makes this perfect near Wings of Time? The speedboat wharf is just a short stroll from the show, and if you time your ride late in the day, you’ll return to Sentosa ready for the night’s fireworks finale. 

Free Beach Time at Siloso Beach: Chill and Splash 

Sometimes, the classic choice is the best one! Siloso Beach is steps from Wings of Time, giving you a sun-soaked stretch of sand where you can swim, splash, throw a frisbee, or just claim a spot with your towel for pure relaxation. It’s lively and laid-back, always buzzing with volleyball games, paddleboards, and laughter from nearby beach bars. 

Arrive in the late afternoon for low-key fun, then stroll down the shore just in time for fireworks. With the soft sand under your toes and tropical breeze in your hair, you’ll get that dreamy “Singapore holiday” feeling before the show even starts. 

Bikini Bar: Beers, Beach Vibes, and Island Energy 

Looking for that classic toes-in-the-sand beach bar? Bikini Bar is Sentosa’s go-to for casual island energy and easygoing fun. Grab a local craft beer or cocktail, order up bar bites (we’re partial to the crispy calamari), and settle into a seaside seat with music that seems to sync perfectly with the waves. 

It’s a hangout that mixes locals, tourists, and everyone looking for a good time. The décor is playful, with pops of color and surfboards overhead. Stay for sunset and you might spot fire dancers or catch one of their energetic beach games. Bikini Bar sets the mood for a night that’ll only get better as Wings of Time lights up the sky. 

 

The fun doesn’t end when the last firework fades into the Sentosa night sky! With thrill rides, sky-high perspectives, beach bars, interactive museums, and tranquil sands just steps from Wings of Time, you’re set for hours (or even days) of unforgettable adventure. Soak up every moment—Sentosa’s got something waiting for every mood, whether you crave pure relaxation or total exhilaration. Enjoy the show, then keep exploring!

Singapore in March

You must have seen the Merlion - half lion, half fish - the symbol of Singapore? Created in 1964 to represent the city’s growth (from a humble fishing village to a powerful beast), its constant spout of water represents good luck and prosperity. Happily it’s your good luck to visit Singapore in March! With children busy at school the world over, it’s a great time to take advantage of affordable fares and enjoy an adult break. Why is March the best time to visit Singapore? Here’s why, including... • Weather in March in Singapore • Cherry blossom in Singapore • Singapore Jazz festival • St Patrick’s Day in Singapore • Adult activities in Singapore • Outdoor activities in Singapore March weather in Singapore Early spring in Singapore is perhaps the best time for sight-seeing. As the north-east monsoon peters out and temperatures start to climb, March sees the least amount of rain, the lowest humidity and the most sunshine. Pleasant dry weather - without the extreme heat and humidity of summer? And less crowds too? It’s a win all round. Sakura Matsuri at Gardens by the Bay If you hanker for Hanami (the traditional custom of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers), visit Singapore in March to experience the unforgettable sight of the Sakura Matsuri Floral Display. In Japan, cherry blossom (Sakura) has long been a national obsession, representing renewal - but also symbolic of the fleeting nature of life - and attracting both locals and tourists to witness the beauty of the delicate blooms. In recent years however, more and more visitors have also flocked to Singapore where the heavy rains of the preceding month and the springtime heat bring about the perfect conditions for blossom to bloom. The refreshing pink blooms of the local trumpet trees line the roads and everywhere else. But for the main event and the most Insta-worthy photo opportunities, don’t miss the magical displays at the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay. Catch cherry and peach blossoms in mankai condition (that’s full bloom!) and be entranced by the canopy of picture-perfect pink and white blooms that drift down in perfect pastel clouds. For lovers of Japanese culture the exhibition goes all out, with a host of other traditional displays. Pose for photos by majestic red torrii gates and alongside cute Tokidoki cartoon characters. Be wowed by wagasa (colourful umbrella displays). And ensure your shots are framed by perfectly placed marumado (traditional circular windows). Remember that’s all in addition to the breathtaking displays in the Cloud Forest and Floral Fantasy areas, so you’re guaranteed a fabulous day, fuelled by flower power! Singapore Jazz festival From bloomers to crooners, the annual International Jazz Festival (otherwise known as ‘SingJazz’) is another reason to visit Singapore in March. But whatever you dooby-dooby-do, don’t be put off by the title, as in recent years Marina Bay Sands has played host to world-renowned artists from all sorts of genres - hip-hop-jazz, acid-jazz, soul-funk, reggae - and more. Groove on down for three nights of al-fresco entertainment and, whilst you’re about it, take time to kick back at one of the best rooftop bars in Singapore. Live life like a celebrity at the luxurious CÉ LA VI Skybar, where an All-Inclusive Pass or Explorer Pass from Go City lets you savour a complimentary drink along with sweeping views from the 57th floor. St Patrick’s Day in Singapore Singapore’s inclusive multi-cultural community means there’s always a different festival or holiday to celebrate and the Irish national day on March 17th is no exception, with enthusiastic ex-pat pub-crawls and a colourful parade (led by an inexplicably non-Irish convoy of Harley-Davidsons!) If you’ve the luck of the Leprechauns you might be around to enjoy the two-day St Patrick’s Day Street Festival held on the streets of Boat Quay. Wear green (even the Singapore River is dyed green for the occasion) and get ready for folk music, Irish dancing and hearty Irish stews washed down with gallons of Guinness. If that’s given you a taste for the hard stuff - or you’re simply taking advantage of a grown-up vacation - don’t stop at the black gold (as Guinness is often known). Singapore is also famous as the home of Tiger Beer, the golden draught served in over 60 countries.You can take a behind-the-scenes tour of the Tiger Brewery and learn the secrets of the production process which involves 200 quality checks. Then try your hand at pouring the perfect pint before tasting complimentary locally-brewed beers at a beer appreciation session in the Tiger Tavern. If you’re feeling really sophisticated, what could be classier than sipping on a ‘Singapore Sling’ in the bar where it was invented? Clink cocktails in the Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel, or sashay out to the lushly-landscaped courtyard of the Raffles Arcade. The iconic gin-based cocktail (which also includes cherry brandy and Benedictine) was created by Mr Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender at the Raffles Hotel, back in 1915, but, over 100 years later, you can still enjoy the same standards of service, stunning surroundings and drinks to die for. Chin chin! A J Hackett Sentosa Giant Swing It may be that you need some of that Dutch courage for one of the best adult activities in Singapore - the AJ Hackett Skypark. Back in the 80s New Zealander AJ Hackett recreated a Pentecost Island ritual where islanders threw themselves off wooden platforms with a vine tied to their ankle and, after he shot to fame jumping off the Eiffel tower, bungy-jumping was born. You can bungy jump in Singapore too if you dare - or (for over-14s and not for the faint of heart) pick up a ticket for the AJ Hackett Sentosa Giant Swing. Strap in safely then swoop, screaming, towards Silosa Beach at 120km/h. To get your breath back, soak in the scenery and snap some selfies, as you stroll the 40km walkway of the Skybridge, with see-through sections to get your heart racing all over again. Outdoor activities in Singapore Its location right on the equator means it's often so hot and humid in Singapore that during the summer months any prolonged activity outdoors can feel like hard work. Which is why comparatively mild March is a great time to get out to see and do. Puzzle Hunt Singapore A Puzzle Hunt activity is one easy way to discover different parts of the city whilst having fun at the same time. Whether you take on the challenge as a couple, a group or a family, it’s an immersive combination of ‘choose your own world’ role play and outdoor escape room, where the outcome of the adventure depends on the choices you make along the way. Puzzle Hunt in Chinatown will see you scouring the streets for clues, whilst learning about Chinatown’s history, heritage and hawker culture (the 260 stalls in the Chinatown Complex Food Centre combine community with unmissable culinary treats.) There are different brainteasers to battle when you Ransack Little India, searching for a hidden treasure chest whilst discovering the area’s unique landmarks. Or, maybe you’ll choose to look and learn amongst the sprawling lawns and nine gardens of Fort Canning Park, with a military themed Ransack Fort Canning puzzle experience. Wherever you choose to explore, you’ll see the sights whilst finding out fascinating facts at your own pace and claim a prize at the end. What are you waiting for? Nature Kayaking at Pulau Ubin If you’re looking for a respite from the city’s hustle and love to get back to nature, another classic Singapore experience to pull in before the humidity hits is a kayak tour of Pulau Ubin. Just a 15 minute bumboat ride from Changi Point Ferry Terminal, this verdant island off Singapore’s northeast coast feels like half a world away and is one of only two remaining kampongs (traditional villages) in Singapore. Embrace the tranquility of the open water as you paddle past a natural paradise of lush greenery and thriving mangroves, looking out for kingfishers, herons, otters and more flora and fauna. Explore the coast and the island’s mangroves over a four-hour adventure towards Ketam Island. On land, for the adventurous, hiking and mountain bike trails criss cross the island. Maybe you’ll visit the weathered temples and shrines, or simply relax in the peaceful coastal surroundings. Remember there are no ATMs so take along enough money to rent a bike, enjoy a traditional meal, or quench your thirst with a coconut. Bliss. We hope you’ve enjoyed our whistle-stop tour of just some of the sights and sounds that await you in Singapore in March - and all year round.

Singapore to Seoul

For a heady mix of cultures, terrific and varied pan-Asian cuisine and a list of weird and wonderful attractions as long as your arm, Seoul and Singapore are second to none. Frequent direct flights between the two mean doing the Singapore to Seoul (or indeed Seoul to Singapore) double on your Asian vacation couldn’t be easier. Read on for our bite-size city guides and discover the best ways to get from one city to the other. Seoul: the Lowdown Split through its middle by the wide Han River, Seoul is a densely populated megalopolis of some 10 million people, its futuristic towers, bridges and skyscrapers set among ancient mountains and plains in the northwest corner of South Korea. Attractions here are many and varied with several ancient UNESCO sites, including the regal gardens and pagodas of Changdeokgung Palace and the royal tombs of the Joseon dynasty, which ruled over Korea for 500 years from the 14th to the 19th centuries. More modern pursuits include a visit to Seoul’s tallest building, the skyscraping 123-story Lotte World Tower, and its sprawling amusement park namesake on (and around) Seokchon Lake. Then there’s Dongdaemun Design Plaza, a space-age architectural marvel packed with shops, bars, restaurants, exhibitions and even a sensory playground for kids. And the achingly photogenic oasis that is leafy Nami Island, a mere 90 minutes from the city center. Seoul is dry and icy-cold in winter and very hot and humid in summer, with a monsoon season that runs between June and September. The relatively short spring and autumn seasons are therefore the best times to visit, when you can expect mild weather and clearer skies but also – as inevitably as night follows day – higher hotel rates. On the plus side, there’s accommodation here to fit most budgets, though visitors should remain conscious that a week in Seoul can be eye-wateringly expensive wherever you end up staying. As a general rule, downtown districts including Jongno or Euljiro are likely to be cheaper than Myeong-dong and Gangnam, while longer-term visitors might want to consider rented accommodation in student neighborhoods like Sinchon and Hongdae. Wherever you choose to lay your hat, you’ll find getting around Seoul a breeze thanks to its superb metro system, which has a whopping 300+ stops within the city’s relatively compact nine-mile radius. Just download the Seoul Subway Metro Map – an interactive route-planning app – pick up a T-money card (and add some credit) and you’re good to go. Handily, your T-money pass is valid for use on metros, buses and even taxis across South Korea. Save a bit of cash with Go City when you buy an All-Inclusive or Explorer pass to multiple major Seoul attractions. Singapore: the Lowdown There’s a whole world of fun awaiting in Singapore, from splashing around in the world’s biggest rooftop infinity pool (57 stories up atop the Marina Bay Sands Resort, fact fans) to gorging on chili crab and sticky pork satay in one of the wonderful hawker centers here. Then there’s the soaring Singapore Flyer observation wheel, authentic Singapore Slings at Raffles Hotel (where the iconic cocktail was invented), the Instagram-tastic Gardens by the Bay, and the island playground that is Sentosa, its myriad attractions – Universal Studios, the S.E.A. Aquarium and several of Singapore’s finest palm-lined beaches – easily reachable by monorail or cable car. In fact, getting around Singapore is remarkably straightforward in general, largely thanks to the super-efficient (and mercifully air-conditioned) mass transit system, or MRT. Six lines and close to 150 stations ensure good coverage of most of the island, but you’ll likely spend most of your time here in and around the downtown circle line which calls at many of the main attractions. Pick up a Singapore Tourist Pass (STP) for unlimited use of the network for 24–72 hours or simply pay as you go by tapping in and out of stations using your contactless debit or credit card. There’s also a decent cycling infrastructure here, and plenty of green space to explore – they don’t call Singapore the Garden Island for nothing, you know! Rent a bike and cruise your way around the epic Park Connector Network and beyond. The climate in Singapore is hot, humid and wet, with temperatures in the high 80s year round. Monsoon seasons between December to March and June to September all but guarantee daily downpours, but also make for some of the most competitive accommodation rates at these times of year. We’re speaking relatively, of course: Singapore is notoriously expensive, but you may just about be able to afford a stay at luxury icons like Raffles and Marina Bay Sands during the monsoons without the need to mortgage a kidney. Cheaper alternatives are of course available, with plenty of good budget and mid-range options available in the likes of Chinatown and even around the high-end shopping mecca of Orchard Road. Save a bit of cash with Go City when you buy an All-Inclusive or Explorer pass to multiple major Singapore attractions. Singapore to Seoul by Air and Rail Direct flights between Singapore and Seoul depart several times daily and take a shade over six hours each way. Carriers serving the route between Singapore’s Changi Airport and Incheon Airport in Seoul include Korean Air, Singapore Airlines and Asiana, with a one-way trip starting from around £300. Express trains from Incheon to downtown Seoul depart every 20–40 minutes and take 40 minutes; the slower, more regular trains make several stops along the route but still only take an hour to the center of town. At half the price and five times the frequency, these are probably the better bet, assuming you’re not in a crazy hurry. And if you’re really in no rush, you could even consider making the epic voyage from Singapore to Seoul by rail. Not for the faint of heart, this method takes you up through Malaysia, and across across Thailand and Laos (with a bit of bus travel required here), then onwards through Vietnam and China before finally catching the ferry from Qingdao in North Korea to Incheon in South Korea – because you can’t cross the North/South Korea border by land. If spending several days traveling 7,000 kilometers through unfamiliar countries on public transport sounds like an utterly absurd idea, that’s because it probably is. But adventurous souls with time on their hands could make it a reality, experiencing amazing coastal vistas, jungle trails, supercities, traditional villages and a mix of wildly different cultures along the way. Or, you know, go as far as Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok and catch your onward flight from there – both also epic adventures with plenty of fun to be had along the way!
