What you will experience
Like nature and like hiking? Let's explore the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, one of 4 nature reserves nestled in central Singapore.
During this tour, we will hike to the TreeTop Walk - a 250 metres long suspension bridge that is suspended 25 metres from the forest floor and links the two highest points in Macritchie. We will stroll along the bridge and enjoy a bird's eye view of the plants and animals that live in the forest canopy.
The hike to the TreeTop Walk will bring us through a secondary forest rich with wildlife. Try to spot the long tailed macaque playing in the trees, the greater racket-tailed drongo calling, the monitor lizard digging for food or even the elusive Raffles’ banded langur hiding among the trees. We will also go on a boardwalk which runs along the edge of the tranquil Macritchie Reservoir. See if you can catch sight of the collared kingfisher or white-throated kingfisher near the water's edges.
This 11 kilometres hike consists of gravel paths, boardwalks and stairs, and is ideal for those who enjoy hiking through greenery while appreciating the local flora and fauna.
Who is your local guide?
Hello I am Keith, born and bred in Singapore. I am a part-time engineer, full time traveller.
As a traveller, I take pleasure in exploring places where locals go to and watching people in their everyday activities. I relish the conversation with the locals, where I get to know of their culture, customs and way of life. I believe travel should be about people, not just places.
Looking for a local who can show you around Singapore like a friend would? look no further. I enjoy meeting people and introducing Singapore to foreign friends, especially the non-touristy local places. I am sincere, flexible when it comes to the itinerary, and enjoys the exchange of culture with my guests. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
