Nestled off Singapore’s coasts, the offshore islands form a tapestry of history and natural beauty with each gentle tide. The best way to get there? Onboard an island yacht tour in Singapore. These islands, comprising St. John’s, Lazarus, Kusu, Pulau Hantu, Sisters’ Island and Pulau Semakau, each have a story of their own. Once thriving maritime and fishing communities, the native inhabitants of the Southern Islands have moved to the mainland. Through land reclamation and development, the islands they left behind have become a sanctuary of tranquillity, captivating visitors with their pristine beaches, lush greenery, and crystalline waters.

Nestled off Singapore’s coasts, the offshore islands form a tapestry of history and natural beauty
with each gentle tide. The best way to get there? Onboard an island yacht tour in Singapore.
These islands, comprising St. John’s, Lazarus, Kusu, Pulau Hantu, Sisters’ Island and Pulau Semakau,
each have a story of their own.
Once thriving maritime and fishing communities, the native inhabitants of the Southern Islands have
moved to the mainland. Through land reclamation and development, the islands they left behind
have become a sanctuary of tranquillity, captivating visitors with their pristine beaches, lush
greenery, and crystalline waters.

3. Each island holds fragments of Singapore’s past that whisper through the rustling palm fronds and
the lapping waves. Consider the tales of pilgrimage to Kusu Island or the poignant history of St.
John’s Island as a quarantine centre. Here are some of the storied pasts of the islands.
Where Island Yacht Tours in Singapore Can Take You?
Pulau Hantu
“Pulau Hantu” translates to “Ghost Island” in Malay, a name possibly inspired by its often mist-
covered appearance. Despite its eerie moniker, Pulau Hantu is a popular spot for diving and
snorkelling, with vibrant coral reefs beneath its waters. The island’s history is intertwined with its
diverse marine life and the preservation efforts to protect its underwater wonders.

4. Pulau Semakau
Designated as a landfill site, Pulau Semakau has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, it
stands as a testament to Singapore’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The island hosts
intertidal walks by nature societies and a landfill tour by NEA that needs to be pre-booked and
approved by NEA. A landfill island may not sound like a glamorous place to visit. Give it a shot and
discover the perfect balance of urban development and environmental conservation.
St. John’s Island
With a history dating back to the early 19th century, St. John’s Island has worn various hats, serving
as a quarantine centre for immigrants and later as a rehabilitation centre. The quarantine barracks
have since made way for camps and lodges. Today, St. John’s Island invites visitors to explore its
intertidal zones, marine biodiversity gallery and beautiful beaches.
Whether it’s having a picnic by the beach, exploring cultural heritage sites or diving deep into
marine life, there is an island yacht tour in Singapore that will be perfect for you.
