For our third day in Singapore, my husband and I went to SENTOSA ISLAND! I had been here a couple of times before (the last time was in 2010), so I thought I knew what to expect. Let me tell you, SO MUCH has changed in the past three years! It was like my first time all over again with the number of new and exciting attractions it had to offer. Tip: You’ll need to devote an entire day in Sentosa in order to make the most of your trip. There’s just so much to see and do, it would be a waste if you didn’t have the time to do it all.

So for our first stop, we went to the world’s largest aquarium, called the S.E.A. AQUARIUM. Now, Carlos (my husband) loves fish with a passion. He used to breed them at one point in his life, and has always been fascinated by them. He seriously wanted to become a marine biologist, but somehow ended up becoming a contractor. So you can just imagine how excited he was to be here. He was so happy (and I was happy to see him happy)–the place has more than 800 species of marine animals, including manta rays, goliath groupers, napoleon wrasse, dolphins, sharks, moray eels and almost any sea creature you can imagine (except maybe a giant squid or a mermaid lol).

Carlos and I–behind us is this gigantic cylindrical aquarium.

Colorful fishies.

Love these starfishes!

Jellyfish.

They’re so pretty to look at, but I am seriously afraid of them.

More colorful fishes and corals.

Sea horses!

Beautiful corals.

This photo was taken by Sentosa. I was at their “petting area” where you’re allowed to touch different kinds of starfish.

Pretty purple fishies.

Beautiful and dangerous.

Love this mangrove aquarium.

One of its amazing aquariums.

After the aquarium (and lunch) we spent the rest of the day exploring Sentosa Island, and boy, did we have a blast. We got to know more about Singapore’s rich history thru IMAGES OF SINGAPORE, went on the SKYLINE LUGE for a super fun downhill go cart experierence, saw a 360 degree Singapore view from the top with the TIGER SKY TOWER, tried the SENTOSA 4D WONDERLAND rides, toured the BUTTERFLY PARK & INSECT KINGDOM and went on the MEGAZIP ADVENTURE PARK. Whew. It was an action-packed day, and it was so much fun!

Of course, we had to take a photo with the MERLION!

Photo with the SENTOSA signage. Well, you can only see ‘E’ and ‘N’ here, but that does spell Sentosa

Outside the IMAGES OF SINGAPORE, an award-winning attraction that brings Singapore’s history to life using multimedia displays, multi-screen theatre presentations and life-sized tableaus.

A must-see if you want to know about Singapore’s heritage.

Up, up we go on the TIGER SKY TOWER.

View from top.

Love this view.

Haha. Posing with The Rock before going on the 4D ride: Journey 2.

Putting on our helmets for the go cart. Sayang, I wasn’t able to take a photo of us riding the go cart. It was so fun! We went downhill really fast.

On our way up.

All ready to go.

We decided to do the zip together, as in hanging from one line.

Long way down.

That was SUPER FAST!

We did it! Fun way to end our day!!!
