Is cycling or driving down Singapore’s streets too mundane for your liking? To up your adrenaline level by a couple of notches, consider kayaking down the many hidden streams and waterways in the island city!

Make a riverine date with Kayak Asia — the water sports specialist organises regular trips on brightly coloured watercrafts along mangrove streams and river trails. To be safe, the tour operators will ensure that you and your family members can swim, and are familiar with kayak capsize drills. 

With the wind in your hair, and the therapeutic sound of paddles slicing water, it will be a Singapoliday to remember.

Set amidst the beautiful Bedok Reservoir Park, Forest Adventure is one of the top things to do in Singapore for adrenaline junkies or families with older children.

There are different courses for different folks – three to be exact. The Grand Course (minimum height 1.45m) comprises 44 obstacles, including 3 giant zip lines. The Junior Course (minimum height 1.35m) has 26 obstacles and 2 zip lines. And the Kids Course (minimum height 1.1m) has 16 obstacles and 2 zip lines. 

As you work your way through the various obstacles, and finally take the leap to whisk across the air along the banks of the scenic Bedok Reservoir, you might find yourself energised with a brand new perspective on life.

Looking to add some pretty heritage-infused colours to your Instagram feed? Hop down to the historic Joo Chiat area and take #OOTD shots with iconic Peranakan shophouses in the background!

Located near the intersection of Koon Seng Road and Joo Chiat Road, these buildings are painted in a pretty palette of pastel shades and feature quaint accented wall tiles alongside wooden window shutters. Taken from afar, the colours of these houses actually resemble the rainbow kueh lapis that many Singaporeans grew up eating and love.

While it is understandable to go trigger-happy here, do practise caution and be sensitive to the residents living in these houses. 

Apart from pretty pictures, you can also bring home some tasty Nyonya morsels. Just take a short walk to Kim Choo Kueh Chang and indulge in some classic Nyonya dumplings and dessert. (For more places of interest to visit in the district, read this.)

Pro tip: Do visit in the early mornings or late afternoons to take advantage of the natural light.

Get up close and personal with all things Peranakan at The Intan, a private Peranakan museum and Singapore’s only lived-in museum. 

Once described as an “Ali Baba’s cave,” The Intan is the brainchild of antique collector and owner Alvin Yapp, who offers personalised tours rounded off with authentic Peranakan tea sessions and meals inspired by his mother.

Voted Best Overall Experience in Singapore's inaugural Museum Roundtable Awards, The Intan has been featured internationally on CNN Travel, Discovery Channel and National Geographic. 

Come with an empty stomach and an open mind, and be prepared to feast on a kaleidoscope of rare historical artefacts, intriguing personal stories, and delicate teas and Nyonya delights.

There are few activities as therapeutic and indulgently time-wasting as pottery. Who knows what magic may happen when it is just you, a lump of clay, and the potter’s wheel?

Fortunately for the connoisseurs of clay, you check out several popular pottery workshops here in Singapore. Try Mud Rock Ceramics, where you will get to learn directly from the people who make ceramics for top restaurants and Michelin-starred chefs around the world. Their claims to fame include even royal gifts—like a teapot for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II!

School of Clay Arts offers introductory workshops but it is a game of fastest fingers first as the slots are snapped up pretty quickly once made available. 

For family-friendly classes, do check out Goodman Ceramic Studio. The 8th Floor also offers a course of 10 classes at flexible time slots and pace.

To tantalise your taste buds after an afternoon of adventure, head to the delightful Si Chuan Dou Hua restaurant located at PARKROYAL on Beach Road. The acclaimed Chinese restaurant serves authentic Sichuan and Cantonese delicacies prepared by a team of experienced chefs.

Popular dishes include "Chong Qing" Diced Chicken with Dried Chilli (not for the faint-hearted!), Smoked Fish with Mixed Spices and Minced Chicken Soup with Fungus. There is also an extensive selection of Cantonese and dim sum delicacies to choose from at this Bugis Chinese restaurant.
