There is NO ferry to Pulau Hantu. We have to pre-pay & charter private speedboats which take only 12 pax & hence the higher cost.

Pulau Hantu is a peaceful and idyllic getaway. Complete with swaying palms, surrounded by white sands and rich reefs. There is even a tiny patch of mangroves. At low tide, it is possible to wade across the shallow lagoon between the two islands, but not at high tide.
Despite its forbidding name, Pulau Hantu is a favorite haunt for fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling enthusiasts because of its sheltered beaches, swimming lagoons, and inviting waters. A wide variety of hard corals and soft corals can be found on Hantu; mushroom corals and enormous soft corals are particularly abundant. Commonly encountered animals include clown anemonefishes, anemone shrimps, giant clams and a wide variety of nudibranchs.
Many in Singapore still do not believe that we have a rich biodiversity in our โurbanโ settings. Arriving on this island in your private charter speedboat feel like arriving on your own island.
If you are the restless type - there are many things you can do with the high & low tide in the lagoon right in front of the many shed on the island. Exploring the sea creatures trapped & left behind in the lagoon when the tide is gone is the highlight. Or play board games & cards with the sea breeze & coconut trees - YOU CAN !

This date has a good low tide at 8.25 am exposing a bigger portion of coral and sandy beach.
On weekends, the island lost its peace & space to an exceptional number of local tourists bringing their family, kids, dogs, friends, etc! You don't get to hear soothing sounds of Mother Nature but human noises & loud party music. With safe travel still far away, don't you think it's worth taking 1-day leave for such meaningful outdoor activities?
