The Fort Siloso Skywalk, located on the western tip of Sentosa Island, Singapore, is a scenic and utterly rewarding way to begin your exploration of Fort Siloso, the nation's only preserved coastal fort. Towering 11 stories high and stretching 181 meters long, this free elevated bridge offers breathtaking panoramic views, a unique nature experience, and a gentle transition into Singapore’s World War II history.
Your journey starts with a rapid, 11-storey elevator ride that whisks you up into the treetop canopy. Stepping out onto the Skywalk, you are immediately greeted by a sweeping vista that contrasts Sentosa's lush greenery with the sleek, modern skyline of mainland Singapore and the busy shipping lanes of the Southern Islands. It's a fantastic spot for photography, providing a bird's-eye view of Siloso Beach and the surrounding island activity.
The 181-meter trail is an easy, paved walk, suitable for all ages and mobility levels (it is wheelchair and stroller accessible). Along the way, educational panels provide historical context about Fort Siloso's role in the defense of Singapore and information about the rich flora and fauna you are walking above. For a brief, thrilling moment, parts of the walkway feature a glass floor, offering a dizzying look down through the forest canopy—a challenge for those with a fear of heights!
