The rest of the hiking trails in Singapore — every one we hold

Go early, and watch the sky

The equator sets the rules: start by 8 am, before the heat builds, and carry more water than you think you need. Most afternoons in the wetter months bring a thunderstorm, and NParks asks hikers to take shelter when lightning is around, so plan the exposed bits for the morning. The TreeTop Walk keeps its own hours — 9 am to 5 pm Tuesday to Friday, from 8:30 am at weekends and on public holidays, closed on Mondays — and it is one-way, so allow time to walk in. Macaques live on most of these trails: keep food out of sight, and never feed them, which is illegal.
