Adventure Holidays In Singapore

Made up of a main island and 58 nearby islands, Singapore is a land of contrasts. While the centre of Singapore Island consists of fertile hills and the highest point, the 165 metre Bukit Timah Peakhe, western and southwestern regions consist of low, steep ridges. To the east streams flow through steep-sided valleys and gullies, some of which flow into the sea through mangrove swamps and lagoons. Singapore ’s daily high temperatures are moderated by sea breezes.
