Visite du mont Faber, des vagues d'Henderson et des crêtes du sud
Description
Êtes-vous quelqu'un qui aime la nature et la randonnée? Si oui, découvrons les Southern Ridges, une série de collines et de parcs qui relient Kent Ridge Park, Hort Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Mount Faber Park et la réserve naturelle du Labrador. Au cours de cette excursion, nous marcherons jusqu'aux Henderson Waves, un pont piétonnier qui enjambe une profonde vallée à 36 mètres de profondeur. Nous nous dirigerons ensuite vers Faber Point, le point culminant du parc du mont Faber. Depuis les zones d'observation, nous aurons une vue panoramique sur la ville, la région sud de Singapour et les îles du sud. Découvrez également la vie quotidienne d'un Singapourien moyen et le développement du logement et des industries maritimes de Singapour. Cette randonnée vous emmène à travers une forêt secondaire avec une faune et une flore diversifiées. En marchant le long de la cime des arbres, soyez à l'affût du serpent fouet oriental qui se prélasse sur les branches, du cri de la cigale ou du chant du bulbul à tête de paille. Ce voyage est définitivement le paradis des amoureux de la nature !
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Traversez sur un pont surélevé qui traverse l'adinandra belukar, un type distinct de forêt secondaire où la forêt se régénère après une exploitation agricole intensive. Cherchez la richesse de la flore et de la faune, comme le bulbul à tête de paille, le nid de fourmis tisserandes ou le serpent fouet oriental, parmi la canopée des arbres. Je partagerai également avec vous les types d'animaux sauvages que l'on peut trouver à Singapour.
Le jardin en terrasse est composé d'une série de terrasses semi-circulaires situées au sommet de la colline de Telok Blangah. De là, vous pourrez profiter d'une vue imprenable à 360 degrés sur Singapour. Si vous êtes chanceux, nous pourrons peut-être voir fleurir une mer de bougainvilliers roses.
Le Henderson Waves est un pont piétonnier qui traverse une vallée profonde à 36 mètres en contrebas. La conception unique en forme de vague des Henderson Waves en fait un spectacle inhabituel et un célèbre spot photo.
Faber Point est le point culminant du mont Faber. Depuis les points de vue ici, nous aurons une vue panoramique sur la ville, la partie sud de Singapour et les îles du sud. S'il fait beau, nous pourrons voir Marina Bay Sands de loin ! À partir de ces points de vue, je partagerai également sur la vie du Singapourien moyen, le développement du logement à Singapour et l'importance de l'industrie maritime pour Singapour.

Was an amazing tour, our tour guide was Keith and he was very friendly and very patient. Always waited for us to catch up when we were going up the stairs. He was also very informative about plants and trees we passed. Absolutely recommend anyone taking this tour with Keith! He is the best!!,
Fantastic morning to hike the Southern Ridges! Keith was happy to spot the common hill mynah and thanks to Jill, the bronzeback snake. Peter and Jill are a lovely jovial couple. Enjoy your stay in Singapore :)
Keith our guide was very informative and helpful. He ensured we were happy with the pace and we had a few rest stops. We learnt about lots of seeds and products
Fine day for a walk in the Southern Ridges. Keith was happy to spot not one, but two of our native green crested lizard together with you! And also the greater racket-tailed drongo. Julie and Paul are polite and happy to share their stories. Take care and safe flight home :)
Keith was a fabulous guide - very passionate and, as a Singapore local, very happy to share his knowledge of local life and culture, as well as the plant life we saw along the way. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone keen to see the green and largely unseen part of Singapore that lies so close to the centre. A reasonable degree of fitness is a prerequisite. While Keith takes plenty of time to stop and explain things along the way, getting up Mt Faber takes some energy!
Fantastic weather for a walk in the southern ridges! Keith enjoyed sharing about the local flora and fauna, and the 'toothpick' story on one of the palm tree. Wendy and Martin were polite and friendly guests! Take care and hope to see you again :)
This is a very well organised trip and Keith, our guide, provided very professional and clear communication via Whats App prior to the event, even adjusting the start from 8:30am to 9:30 am to accommodate our request due to our jetlag. The starting point at Hort Park office is easily reached by taxi for a reasonable price. On the morning of our walk the heavens opened and it started to rain heavily but this did not dampen our experience as Keith was really enthusiastic and professional and talked to us about a whole range of life, history and culture in Singapore. The walk itself is easy but there are some steep bits and some steps to navigate so should be borne in mind by those with mobility needs. The walk enabled us to see the nature that surrounds the city and when we reached the top of Mount Faber this afforded us with a brilliant view. Fortunately the rain had stopped at this point so we could see for miles. Keith was really entertaining and had a great sense of humour. He speaks really good English and was also very interested in what's happening around the world so we enjoyed good overall conversation as well as learning lots about the Singaporean way of life. Along the way he invited us to taste local produce from the area, including the notorious Durian fruit which has a very specific smell and taste and is not for the faint hearted! The end of the walk is located at the Mount Faber cable car station and I had booked a separate ticket for the cable car in order to combine the end of the walk with a trip over to Sentosa Island. I would recommend this combination to make a full day. Keith showed us the entrance to the station which was very kind. Thankyou Keith for being a great guide. A perfect way to amble away a rainy Sunday morning in Singapore.
A wet morning hike and glad you survived it, Julia & Paul! The intermittent rain was not part of the package but provided Keith the chance to share with you other topics on Singapore! He had fun learning of Lake District (pretty photos) from you as well. Take care and hope to see you again :)
Keith our local guide walked us through Hort Park , Henderson Wave Bridge and Mt Faber look out at a comfortable scenic pace. Keith was able to inform and answer our questions regarding the trees and plant growth, history of the area and knew where to take some lovely memorable photos along our walk. Not to mention a great local coffee cafe at the end of our tour that made a perfect latte coffee. Thank you. 5/5
Glad you enjoyed the walk amid the greenery, Daniela & Domenic! Keith enjoyed the session with you, especially the topic on the rooftop garden. Do visit us again next time! Take care.
