SINGAPORE — After three years of rejuvenation works, the biodiversity-rich Sisters' Islands Marine Park on Monday (Oct 28) reopened to the public, beckoning visitors with lagoons to swim in, corals to see up close, and a coastal forest trail that offers panoramic views of the country's southern islands.

The jewel of the 40ha Sisters' Islands Marine Park, Big Sister's Island, is the only place in the marine park that is open to visitors. Small Sister's Island is zoned for research and conservation, while the western reefs of both St John's Island and Pulau Tekukor are submerged.

In 2021, Big Sister's Island underwent upgrading works to make it more visitor-friendly and to serve as a place for people to learn more about Singapore's marine life, which is often invisible to the city dweller.

Now, the spruced up island, located about a 30-min boat ride from the mainland, has features that allow visitors to get closer to underwater marvels.
