Water activities in Singapore


If you think that water activities on our sunny island are limited to water theme parks like Adventure Cove and Wild Wild Wet, think again. Singapore is, in fact, home to a myriad of affordably priced water sports like wakeboarding and windsurfing – you won’t even need to travel to other countries to have a splash.

If you prefer to nua the day away, there’s even a lazy river with an entrance fee at the price of a Kopi O.


1. Flowboarding – from $12
