Come island hopping with us! A short boat ride away is St Johns island where we explored some nature walks and read about it’s more interesting past as a prisoner of war camp and isolation island.
We then walked over to Lazarus island, famous for its beautiful cove where we had a picnic before a splash in the island perfect sea.
Our boat returned and we hopped aboard to Kusu Island, meaning turtle island, where we found a beautiful temple, climbed 152 steps and met some hungry turtles!
After we arrived back to Singapore and cleared customs we headed out for Korean BBQ!!
This trip was very kindly paid for by one of our viewers. We were blown away by your generosity and kind words. Thank you for such a memorable trip, we are so grateful!

I looked through you show notes but did not see the name of the BBQ place.. we may be in Singapore soon and that looked like a place we would like to visit. Thank you,

We are fortunate that the islands are super beautiful - we just captured it on film!

It looks nice and quiet!. Formerly from Singapore but in Nashville. Been to most of the Caribbean, St John/ Thomas, Cayman and others. It is great that Singapore is changing fast!

Hello there! I’m sure it would like quite different to you now if you come to visit. We can’t believe it took us so long to get to these islands! Take care

Lo and behold. A New Year and a New Video Intro. How apt is that. Good video with quite a bit of information. Looks like you've been doing quite a bit of research. Keep it up.

Haha, yes! It’s a week late and needs some tweaking, but it’s a start - literally! Really enjoyed this one 😊

Great video! 👍👍👍Fyi. Every year during Kusu Pilgrimage Season (b/w Oct - Nov) many SG Families will be visiting Kusu Island for praying. During this season, ferry will be split into 2 instead - for Kusu & St. John islands instead.

Loved the vid ! How much does the ferry ride to the islands cost?

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Hello, we paid $15 per adult and $12 per child but there are a few different ferry services you can look and compare prices and some do offers. I added the link to the company we used in the information section for this video. Happy exploring!

There is also a marine conservation on St. John's Island if I am not wrong and sometimes you can do the tour and discover the marine life.

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Thanks for the info! I’ll do a bit of research. Things have been on hold because of covid.

Ah yes the Singapore food! We used to load our suitcase up with all the packet mixes to make things when we got back to the UK from our holidays here.

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

We’ve heard this a few times but haven’t encountered any yet! Hopefully this means the seas are cleaner than the used to be. Thanks for watching!

@phillphelan1138 2 года назад

We have ben to Singapore so many times but never ventured to St.John's nor Kesu Islands, we also like the Korean BBQ , Melbourne has a great one where they cook it for you after you have chosen whatever you need, and you can keep going back, the hotplate is an upside down pointed hat about 8feet in diameter, great food and atmosphere. love the way you take your children and give them experiences of life.

@armanihan 2 года назад

Yup. The benches at these southern islands are whiter and cleaner than those on the main island (aka Pulau Ujong). AVOID the weekends, the huge crowd is a big turn off

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Yes, although Jonty’s tempted to experience the crowds and festivities at the Kusu pilgrimage!

@DuaRoda 2 года назад

The public bathrooms near the trees with big roots, have the most powerful showers in Singapore.... Fast n furious bathing !

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Oh wow! Thanks for the tip. We will probably set up camp at Kusu Island next time we take a trip. The ones at East Coast park near the wake boarding are so awful!!! Like being dribbled on 😂

@DuaRoda 2 года назад

@@WONDERLUSTworldif it's overnight camping, gotta apply for a permit, Kusu has relatively newer bathrooms at the foot of the hill.

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Oh I meant set up camp just for the day 😊 I think I’d be eaten alive by mosquitoes!!

The hilltop site also house a muslim shrine (keramat). The pilgrims will tie a yellow cloth band round their wrists after paying homage there during the pilgrimage month (can't remember which month).

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Thanks for telling us, enjoying learning more about this place!

@eatdriveplay 2 года назад

No detention center there for sure... :) That's probably one of the government's research facilities, likely the St. John Islands' National Marine Laboratory.

@WONDERLUSTworld 2 года назад

Ah thanks. Lots of other little old crumbly buildings about too.
