►History of Saint John’s Island:- Saint John’s Island was once where new migrants to Singapore, as well as returning pilgrims , were quarantined if their ships arrived with cases of infectious illnesses such as cholera, smallpox and plague.
Later, parts of the island were also used to detain political prisoners and as a drug rehabilitation centre but all that has changed now into something totally different!
At present, St John’s island is a popular getaway spot for locals and tourists alike and If you’re looking for pristine beaches with clear turquoise waters, look no further than St. John’s Island.
►NParks’ guided tour:- NParks organises monthly guided walks to St. John’s island. This tour is free, but it’s quite hard to get a slot. This tour only goes to St. John’s island.
A free 90-minute guided tour will be held on the first Sunday of every month. NParks volunteers will introduce you to the key features along the St John’s Island Trail.
This land-based trail covers a distance of 1.6km. You can purchase your own ferry ticket at Marina South Pier and take the 9am ferry to St John’s Island.
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
