Excursion Macritchie reservoir treetop walk (for in-transit guests only) tour at Singapore
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
This tour is available to in-transit guests continuing on to the following cruise.
A 250-metre suspension bridge that provides an aerial view of the surrounding forest, the MacRitchie TreeTop Walk is one of the most breathtaking nature spots in Singapore.
Connecting the two highest hills in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, be prepared to make the 3.5 km, 1.5-hour long one-way hike to the TreeTop Walk and you will be rewarded with stunning vistas of greenery and the waters of Upper Pierce Reservoir. The TreeTop Walk’s suspension bridge connects the 27-metre high Bukit Peirce with 25-metre high Bukit Kalang. At its highest point, it is 25 metres above the forest floor. That is roughly the equivalent of seven storeys high. The suspension bridge is designed for one-way traffic only. This means that once you enter, you cannot return via the bridge, you will have to make the return journey via the forest path below. From the TreeTop Walk suspension bridge, you will be able to observe the various layers of the rainforest. These include, from highest to lowest, the emergent layer (trees that stick out), the canopy, shrubbery and the ground layer.
