Sentosa Boardwalk from VivoCity

Today marks a significant day in Singapore

as Sentosa opens the Sentosa Boardwalk!

And I am glad that I had the opportunity a week ago
to visit the Boardwalk before its opening! Thanks to Sentosa! :)

The Sentosa Boardwalk is the first garden-themed boardwalk in Southeast Asia which displays a fantastic feature of various tropical landscapes. Visitors can now stroll into Sentosa island from VivoCity shopping mall, via the Sentosa Boardwalk. Admission fees is S$1/entry per person. But if you are a Sentosa Islander, then it's free. :)


The rainy/sunny weather will never be an issue to walk along the Sentosa Boardwalk as the canopies are all covered! On top of that, for some reason or another that you may not want to or unable to walk that 700 metres of distance, 5 pairs of two-way travellators are there for your convenience. For the foodies in all of us, there are FOUR F&B establishments along the way: The Wine Company, Ooh! Crpes, Gelateria Venezia and Queens! :D You can do some shopping at the retail outlets too~ :)

The Sentosa Boardwalk has 5 sections...
And as you walk along, enjoy the panoramic view of the bay. It's beautful, I tell ya~

Section 1 : Mangrove
(See... The walkway is all sheltered and there's the travellator for ya!)

Section 2 : Rock Garden

Uniquely-designed ceilings which allow sunlight to enter. :)

Section 3 : Terrain & Hill

Yes, you can view the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) from the Sentosa Boardwalk :)

This is my most favourite area of the whole Sentosa Boardwalk!
The curved wooden plank design reminds me of those sand dunes! Right??! :)

The unique crooked handle bar, accompanied by floras that are so vibrant in color!

Section 4 : Coastal Flora

Section 5 : Tropical Rainforest

I noticed there was water flowing from the brown basket 'pots'.
I had no idea why, and I am still curious about it. Any ideas?

And once you reach to this area, you can take out your EZ-link card
and pay the admission fees into Sentosa. Cash is accepted too.
And once you get past the gantry, you arrive at RWS! Woohoo~

So... How to get in to Sentosa Island?
(1) Walk along the Sentosa Boardwalk
(2) Sentosa Express train from VivoCity level 3
(3) Sentosa Bus from Harbourfront Bus interchange
(4) Sentosa Rider
(5) Via car (Vehicle entrance fee applies)
(6) Via Taxi (Vehicle entrance fee applies)
(7) Jewel Cable Car ride from HarbourFront Tower 2

Getting to Sentosa is easier now, with the additional method of the Sentosa Boardwalk~ What's more, after a dinner at VivoCity, you can walk along the Sentosa Boardwalk with your loved one! So romantic, yet you can allow your food to be digested before a dessert session. Simply killing two birds with one stone! LOL! I think that the night view of the bay and the IR will be beautiful too... I'm definitely going to visit the Sentosa Boardwalk in the night sometime soon! :)
