Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
free guided walks

Let a guide really show you the Reserve!
Going on a tour with a volunteer guide is the best way to see and learn more about this special Reserve. The guide will be glad to adjust the route to your group, your interests and how much time you have to spend at the Reserve.

Among our favourite routes is the Mangrove Boardwalk which allows you to get really close to the creatures in a mangrove forest. It is also suitable for those with only an hour or so at the Reserve, or with small children and older group members. Guides also love to do Route 1, a longer exploration of the Reserve and its many interesting plants and animals.

On Saturdays, there is usually also a Marine Fish tour to introduce you to the fascinating fishes at the Reserve.

All guided tours are weather permitting and subject to availability of volunteer guides. Please call the Information Counter at 67941401 to check if the free guided tour is on.
