[jdabello]

thanks sis yapeegurl and sis xtine for your suggestions re my itinerary,  i'll follow that na lang..

i'm having problems with "what to see" in sentosa.  i was browsing through their attractions and super dami pala.. can you please suggest what the "must" see? i have with me my 12 and 13 y.o kids.  parang i wanna experience all, kaya lang di ko alam how to squeeze in those rides in my itinerary, yong time kasi parang pare pareho and based sa mga nababasa ko here, kalat kalat pa ang attractions all over sentosa...haay..

so far, these are the attractions na parang gusto ko.. 4d adventureland,  Singapore cable car, Singapore flyer, ifly singapore, megazip, luge...plus pa dito ang songs of the sea, USS, crane dance, lake of dreams,  adventure cove waterpark, singapore zoo....litong lito ako sa pag gawa ng time schedule.

need your help mga sis...thanks

[xtine]

^Sis, lake of dreams is just a fountain.  Its not a talagang body of water man made lake. 

For me, its luge, singapore cable car, USS of course and Songs of the sea.  The others are so-so na if compared to USS rides.  iFly is indoor skydiving.  Hindi pang bata.

ang dami mong gusto sa sentosa! you'll need at least 3days kung gusto mo talaga (halos) lahat sila.
since you are staying inside the island, you can do a lot na din on your first day.
hwag na kayo mag-4D adventure kasi olats lang sya. at saka mag-USS naman kayo. mas maganda yung Shrek kesa sa nasa Sentosa.
pili ka na lang iFly or MegaZip. para kasing pareho lang sila ng adrenalin rush. parehong para kang lumilipad.  i'd suggest iFly na lang kasi wala nito sa Pinas.

Day 1
 - Luge, Songs of the Sea, iFly.  lahat ito sa Beach Station lang.  you can do iFly last kasi hanggang 10pm naman daw sya.  pede na kids mo dito kasi for 7yo and above naman sya.  i-consider mo na din na hindi one go lang kayo sa luge. fun kasi sya. so masayang ulitin.

Day 2
 - Adventure Cove Waterpark
 - other Sentosa Attractions like cable car. kung gusto nyo pa din mag-megazip,pede dito sa araw na ito

Day 3
 - checkout at Sentosa hotel
 - USS
 - checkin at City hotel
 - City sight seeing/shopping

Day 4
 - Singapore Zoo
 - City sight seeing/shopping

Day 5
 - checkout
 - flight home

Mga sis,patulong naman po kung pano ang pagkakasunod sunod ng mga ito sa aming walkathon, este walking tour  sa Sg

Merlion
Gardens by the Bay- Flower Dome, Cloud Forest
SIngapore Flyer
River cruise
Marina bay Sands
Esplanade

last stop po sana namin ay Makansutra Gluttons Bay kasi dun po namin balak magdinner.Puro lakad lang po ba ito or in between pwede din magbus.thanks po mga sis!

[xtine]

Sama nyo na rin ang clarke Quay --> Asian Civilization (sa labas lang kayo, riverside, ganda view) --> Fullerton Hotel --> Merlion --> Esplanade --> Makansutra --> Helix bridge --> Gardens by the Bay --> Marina bay sands

Yan ang magandang walking tour.  Kaya shang ijog ng isang oras kung alam ang pasikot sikot.  So whole day with that direction is a leisure na.  You get to enjoy the nice ambiance.

Any itinerary suggestions? 3 days kami sa Singapore pero nakapag Singapore na kasi kami dati. Nakapag Universal Studios at Singapore Zoo na kami nun. So I dunno kung ano pa pwede. hehe

So far ito pa lang na come up namin. haha

------------------
1st day
- 9.05am arrival at SG


2nd day
Sentosa - Di namin na libot outside of Universal Studios eh. Worth it ba other attractions dun?

3rd day
Changi Point - shoe shopping! Ano ba touristy areas malipat?

4th day
- 10:30am flight departure
------------------

We're staying in Fragrance Hotel in Balestier.


Thanks in advance!

When we went to Sentosa, we took the cable car ride. Medyo pricey since two-way kinuha namin pero worth it naman kasi maganda ang view at makikita mo talaga around Sentosa. We went to Universal at medyo madaming oras ang stay namin doon. Pabalik my brother and his girlfriend rode the Luge kasi yun lang daw ang gusto nila among the other rides. Hindi na namin nalibot yung other attractions pero ok lang din kasi we feel na enough naman na yung napuntahan namin sa loob.

Hi sis, just wanted to help ..

Not sure what your plan is on the first day but if you do not really have that much luggage, just take the train from the airport, alight at Expo MRT, Changi City Point is just across, you can do your shopping..that way you will also save your airport taxi charges. Just take cab at the cab stand of CCP, luggage and shopped items at the same time

I work at the office beside Changi City Point, so yea, if you wana hoard your Charles and Keith, sportswear items and some more branded items, it's the place to be I think apart from Anchorpoint (which really doesn't have as much stores as CCP).

There are 2 attractions which opened here recently, not sure if you fancy them..
- Gardens by the Bay - there are 2 domes, aircon inside.. there's a show there every night, sounds and lights show (flower like architecture, OCBC SKyway)
- River Safari (beside SG Zoo)
- Not so new Marina Bay Sands (I can get you discounted overnyt stay here as my company has partnership with them, cheapest room will be ~300 SGD with tax..)

Sentosa - well I only like Luge and Songs of the Sea there, heaps of attractions these days but yea quite pricey, IFly is half the price in Genting so if you have trips to KL you may want to skip that one. WaveHouse is there if you like to learn how to surf.

I like Science Center, you need a full day here if you are into geeky, nerdy stuff..haha..

if USS and Legoland ang itinerary ko san banda dapat ako maghanap ng accomodation para gitna dun sa dalawang gusto ko puntahan.

If KL to Johor pala flight ko. Ilang oras travel time from legoland to SG.

[mom_c]

mga sis, ask ko lang kung di kaya kami magkaka problema sa immigration ng Singapore kung diretso kami ng Malaysia? Plano kasi namin yung 1st and 2nd night namin sa Malaysia tapos yung last night namin sa Singapore. pa help naman po. thanks..

[yapeegurl]

jdabello, the popular ones are the following: Luge (with cable ride), Light Show, iFly is a nice experience, and mega zip siguro pero meron din naman nito sa atin sa pinas. Sa Sentosa area ang mga iyan. Adventure Cove is at Sentosa pero another time or day naman ito. USS is also at Sentosa island pero another time and day din ito. Ang ganda ng itinerary na nagawa for you ni ate kaye (kayesl)

lavinia13, Note ko lang 2 weeks ago nag River Cruise kami ulit. Sa may Merlion kami sumakay. Dito din kami nag alight. But I remember last time sa Merlion kami sumakay pero sa MBS kami bumaba. If this is the case, one way river cruise fare na lang ang bayaran ninyo.

komodojo, on your first day, puwede kayo mag Marina Bay Sands area tour. Like sa itinerary ni lavinia13, puwede kayo mag cruise or just walk around the Merlion, Helix Bridge, Makansutra, Gardens by the Bay area. Feasible din ang suggestion ni sis nocturnalgal na sa first day kayo mag Changi City Point if you don't have much luggage on hand. On your 2nd day, libot libot na lang kayo sa Sentosa. Have you all tried the attractions at Sentosa (like luge, adventure cove, etc)? Third day ninyo if Changi Point lang kayo, I think meron pa kayo time to shop around Orchard. Wala kasi other tourist spot sa area na iyan.

michi247, Legoland buses meron terminal sa Singapore Flyer. USS naman sa Sentosa. Maybe you would want to stay around Raffles area? Or a hotel around Collyer Quay, Robinson Road, Anson Road, or Keppel Road. From Legoland to SG, if via Malaysian taxi na dere-derecho, around 1.5hrs (kasama stop over sa immigration na parang toll gate lang.. Yung hindi na bababa sa car).

mom_c, Manila-Malaysia-Singapore-Manila ba kayo? If yes, I don't think magkaka problem naman as long as meron kayo air ticket going back to Manila from Singapore.

[mom_c]

^ sis Clark-Singapore-Clark kami. gusto sana namin sa Johor na lang mag stay mas mura din accommodation dun eh. worry ko lang kung di kaya kami magkaproblem sa immigration pag nilagay namin sa embarkation card eh yung hotel sa Johor..

[layzieg]

anyone tried BIG hotel in Singapore? malapit ba sya sa mrt station?

[kayesl]

^^ why Johor? marami ba kayong pupuntahan doon?  ang layo kasi nya sa Singapore. and ang layo din nya sa iba pang attractions sa Malaysia.  yes, mura siguro doon pero talo din kayo sa pamasahe at sa masasayang na oras.  sa immigration pa lang, sayang na sa oras.  in a good day, both SG and MY immig will take you at least 30mins.  nakaranas na kami na more than 1hr sa immig sa Tuas (SG side) nung bago pa lang Legoland
pero kung immigration lang, wala naman problema. basta may RT tickets kayo at printout ng reservation.

[GirlCrush]

mom_c, i won't recommend johor as you'll be wasting your time in the end, and Johor isn't really safe

[mom_c]

thanks @sis Kayesl and @sis GirlCrush, sa Johor Plano namin mag stay kasi punta kami sa legoland and sa hello kitty. sa tingin kasi namin di kakayanin ng pagsamahin namin legoland at hello kitty ng one day lang kaya Plano namin mag stay na lang for 2 nights then 1 night na lang sa Singapore since naka punta na din naman kami sa Singapore last year.. di talaga safe sa Johor? nakakatakot pala kung ganun..

[michi247]

@yapeegurl - thanks sis! check ko yung mga hotel sa place na yan. do you know how much kaya abutin ng taxi or better na magbus na lang. hehe! #budget

KL - Johor - SG na lang plan namin para di na rin pabalik-balik. So hotel na lang na malapit sa Sentosa or kahit hindi malapit basta hindi lang mahirap biyahe.

[yapeegurl]

mom_c, baka maubos oras niyo travelling from JB to SG if you're planning to tour talaga sa SG. It's because we wouldn't know how the queue at the immigration would be. And sometimes traffic. But to answer your question, meron chance na they'll ask. I haven't tried kasi nor any of our friends/relatives so far.

layzieg, looking at google maps, Big Hotel is near Bugis MRT.

michi247, bus ka na lang sister. Or MRT. From Imbiah station sa Sentosa going to Singapore Flyer, that would be around $13-15 approximate.
