MacRitchie Reservoir & TreeTop Walk
MacRitchie Reservoir
A hiking route through the rainforest of the Central Catchment Area, where the 250-metre-long TreeTop Walk, 25 metres above ground, offers close-up views of the rainforest canopy.
MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore's oldest reservoir. Its surroundings lie within the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, which protects large areas of primary and secondary rainforest. The most popular attraction is the TreeTop Walk, a one-way suspension bridge linking two hills. It is about 250 metres long and reaches roughly 25 metres above the ground, giving you eye-level views of the rainforest canopy. If you're lucky, you may spot long-tailed macaques, monitor lizards and hornbills. A round trip from the car park to the bridge covers about 7 to 11 kilometres and takes 2.5 to 4 hours, with paths made of dirt tracks and wooden boardwalks. The TreeTop Walk is closed on Mondays (except public holidays) and open until 5pm. Avoid setting off after 3pm. Bring plenty of water and mosquito repellent, and do not feed the monkeys. Buses can take you to the MacRitchie Reservoir Park entrance.
