Where the concierge points people first
- Macritchie Reservoir Tree Top Walk — The HSBC TreeTop Walk, a suspension bridge strung through the rainforest canopy between the two highest points of the MacRitchie forest. It is a few kilometres' hike in from the road, and it is closed on Mondays except public holidays. (1.3612, 103.8117)
- Bukit Timah Hill — Singapore's highest natural point, inside one of the oldest patches of primary rainforest left on the island. The summit path is short and steep; the side trails are where the wildlife is. (1.3548, 103.7763)
- Southern Ridges — A string of parks and bridges in the south — Mount Faber, Telok Blangah Hill, HortPark and Kent Ridge — joined into one walk. Henderson Waves, the wooden bridge high over Henderson Road, is the photo. (1.2790, 103.8095)
- The Green Corridor KTM Railway — The Rail Corridor, the old Malayan railway line that once ran into Tanjong Pagar, now a long, flat green trail across the island. Easy walking, and good on a bike. (1.3579, 103.7675)
- Labrador Nature & Coastal Walk — A short coastal boardwalk and forest trail at Labrador Park, at the western end of the Southern Ridges, with sea views over the southern islands. (1.2657, 103.8072)

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.
