Kusu Island: One of the Southern Islands of SG

Looking for a weekend getaway without leaving Singapore? Why not book a ferry trip to one of the smaller islands of Singapore? Kusu Island is one of the islands located south of the main island of Singapore. Tickets can easily be bought online with the 1 hour journey ride starting from Marina South Pier. The spots we were able to see are Da Bogong Temple, the wishing well that you'll pass by on the elevated walkway to the temple, the tortoise sanctuary, and the lagoons. If you're doing a DIY tour, I recommend just laying a mat and do a picnic by the grass, the water is calm with soft lulling sound. It's definitely relaxing. I enjoyed the sceneries most specifically how the temple's architecture contrasts with the blue skies. The weather also made the photos taken much nicer due to the sunlight. It was a fun tour. I'll surely follow this up with planning a visit to Lazarus Island.
