We’re stuck in a perpetual ping-pong match against the virus. With rising COVID-19 cases and work-from-home fatigue weighing down on us, things get pretty dreary. There isn’t much to do except binge watch Netflix shows or dabble with new recipes. But we all need fresh air sometimes — shutting ourselves away in little domestic holes isn’t exactly healthy. Sure, your dinner plans with friends may be cancelled again so why not do the next best thing — day adventures? Exploring our island’s greenery is a great way to get some exercise whilst chasing away the stay-home blues. Hop onto a kayak, manoeuvre through obstacle courses and try wakeboarding for the first time. It’s time to abandon your screens and embrace the wild side. (Masks on, whenever applicable, of course.)

Forest Adventure

Featuring Singapore’s only treetop adventure course, Forest Adventure promises an unforgettable outdoor experience. Soar across their 300m zipline over Bedok Reservoir and walk through multiple wobbly crossings — all while enjoying a panoramic view of forest treetops. Feel the wind on your face and challenge yourself to some adrenaline-pumping action. If you’re a little concerned about safety, don’t worry — supervisors are around to guide you how to use your equipment.

Ninja Kayakers

Oh the adventures you could have — all on an inflatable kayak. At Ninja Kayakers, you can cruise along water bodies and explore coastal wildlife while crossing over reefs. There’s different routes to explore too. Check out their Instagram page for updates on their guided tours. Some of their packages even include lunch by the beach so you can dig into a well-deserved meal after your tiring journey.
