Ten Fun Things to Do in Singapore (2)

4. Pulau Ubin 
Take a small boat into Singapore's past. A 10-minute ride will take you to this island where life has remained unchanged since the 1960s. Walk through the streets, lovely forest paths and along quiet beaches. Chek Jawa, the "jade of Singapore," lies on the island's southeastern tip, and area filled with plants, animals and natural beauty.

5. Underwater World 
Underwater World is more than just another aquarium. It offers rare opportunities to interact with sea creatures. Sign up in advance to swim with dolphins or dive among sharks. Be sure to feed the stingrays! Extend your hand into the water holding a piece of fish between your fingers. Then watch as the huge, gentle animals swim up and suck the food into their mouths!

6. Singapore Flyer 
The world's largest observation wheel stands 165 meters tall and looks over all of Singapore. You can ride it around or pay more to enjoy a 4-course meal in a special capsule. Or you can bring a new meaning to the phrase high tea by enjoying tea, sandwiches and pastries during your ride.
