Fantastic experience!
This was a wonderful way to see the wetlands! We didn’t have a lot of time to explore on our own, and we wanted to learn as much as possible — our guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate!
We saw a crocodile, kingfishers, crabs, archer fish, mud skippers, a ton of monitor lizards, storks, and so much more.
We learned a ton about the history of the land and the ecosystem of the mangroves.

Enthusiastic guide and a beautiful reserve
I hired James to take my mother on a tour of Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Before the tour, he answered all my questions and checked to see if my mother had any special requirements. I felt very reassured that she would be in good hands on the tour. When my mother arrived at the Wetland Centre, James met her and, upon discovering that she had forgotten her sun hat, he very kindly provided her with a spare hat that he had brought. My mother found that he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the reserve and many other topics. He looked after her very well and made sure that she had opportunities to rest in shade where possible. They saw lots of wildlife, even a croc or two! We would not hesitate to use James again in future.
Operator response
Thank you very much for the nice, quite comprehensive review of your nature tour to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Importantly, we were glad that we had taken good care of your mother during the nature walk. We look forward to seeing you, and your mother again. Wishing you and your mother, A Happy Blessed New Year 2024. Cheers!

Sungei Buloh in the morning
Our guide James was amazing! He brought a wealth of knowledge to the tour on history, ecology, and wildlife. I added numerous species of birds to my lifelist and had a great time during the visit. James brought a spotting scope which made it easier for us since we were traveling without one. James surprised us with his knowledge of lots of different things including plants and even fish. Even though we were focused on birds, a highlight for me was watching the giant mudskippers (a species of fish) and monitor lizards.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your very nice and strong compliment. It is so important to mention Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve's history, culture and biodiversity to our guests, just as much as showing you the migratory shorebirds which is the main attraction during the season of migratory birds from August to April. We are so happy that you have enjoyed our nature guided tour to SBWR. Looking forward to seeing you and your loved one in Singapore again. Have a happy blessed day ahead:)

Amazing guide, definitely booking again!
James was an incredible guide! We met him for a guided tour of the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and it was the highlight of the trip for all of us! James has so much knowledge to share about the area and his enthusiasm makes it all the more enjoyable. We saw bats, horseshoe crabs, otters, crocodiles, mudskippers, and a range of birds! James provided us with binoculars to borrow and had his own monocular that he set up so everyone could get a good look at things. We definitely plan on booking with him again when we return to explore the other natural areas of Singapore.
Operator response

Thank you very much for your review and hope to see you soon. Have a happy blessed day always:)

Impressive and relaxing
The Nature-Tour in Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is highly recommended. Mr. James Chan is a great tour guide. He always came up with a little story about the plants or animals, that we saw on our hike through this breathtaking nature. Thanks to his extensive knowledge, the hours flew by and the hike became a great experience. Especially at this time here in Singapore, it is refreshing to "conquer" parts like the wetland with the great company of a tour guide who loves his job. Thank you, Mr. Chan
Operator response
Dear Marita, I must admit that I am enjoying myself being a tourist guide because it is like proudly showing my friends around, interacting and sharing interesting and fun stories in my neighbourhood.
Thank you very much Marita for your compliment, encouragement and recommendation which will definitely propel me to be a better tourist guide. I am looking forward to meeting you again and bringing you, my friend, to see more of our neighbourhood soon. Till then, stay safe and here is wishing you, A Happy, Healthy and Successful New Year 2021. Enjoy and Cheer.

Fantastic Nature's Wonderland
Time flew past so quickly. There was so much to see and James was so knowledgeable and patient in explaining all the medicinal properties, uses and characteristics of all the flora and fauna around us. We saw many creatures big and small. We saw monitor lizards, mud skippers, dragonflies, Little Egrets, Herons, Storks, estuarine crocodiles, mullet fishes, needle fishes all residing in their natural habitat. It was a nature's wonderland.
Operator response
