Located at the south of mainland Singapore, Pulau Hantu is a 12.6 hectare large island that is made up of two islet, Pulau Hantu Besar and Pulau Hantu Kechil

Named the Island of the Ghosts, legend has it that the island is where ancient Malay warriors fought to their death, and that their spirits continue to linger on this island till this day.

There are two swimming lagoons as well as shelters and picnic area on either side of the islets. During the low tide, visitors can walk along the intertidal zone to view the diverse marine life (crabs, clams, anemones, sea cucumber, sand stars and more!)

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Can I come for the event?
A: Please check your attendance on the event listing on the Meetup platform. If you are under the ‘Waitlist’ you are not on the ‘Going’ list, which means that you are NOT ALLOWED to attend the event. If you are on the ‘Going’ list, it means that your attendance is confirmed and you are expected to attend the event.

Q: How can I get onto the ‘Going’ list?
A: Participants are added onto the ‘Going’ list on a first-come-first-served basis. Due to the travel restrictions, we are seeing a spike in demand for local hiking events and slots for our events are often filled up quickly. We strongly encourage our members to join our Telegram group (https://t.me/explorersgmeetup), where we will be announcing new events beforehand.

Q: Can I bring someone with me if I’m on the going list?
A: To ensure that we adhere to regulations, we strictly require all participants attending the event to be on the ‘Going’ list. Hence, we will not allow any participants to bring along any other individual that is not on the ‘Going’ list. If you wish to join the event with your friend or family, they must create a Meetup account and be on the ‘Going’ list too.
