Treetop Walk Singapore: A Breathtaking Hike Above the Rainforest
#favouriteitinerary
One of our most memorable hikes in Singapore has to be the MacRitchie Treetop Walk. We chose the moderate to difficult 7-8km route via Venus Loop, which made for an exciting yet manageable trek. The best part? Reaching the Treetop Walk, a 250-meter-long suspension bridge that gives you an incredible view of the rainforest canopy.
Getting There
We took bus 167 from near our hotel and got off at Opp Flame Tree Park bus stop. From there, it was just a short walk to the MacRitchie Treetop Carpark at Venus Drive, which was where we started our hike.
The Hike
We set off from Venus Loop and were surprised at how peaceful the trail was for a Sunday morning. The path was a mix of boardwalks and packed dirt, easy enough to walk on but still offering a good workout. We took our time, walking at a relaxed pace with plenty of stops for photos, and finished the hike in about three to four hours.
Instead of retracing our steps on the way back, we decided to take a slightly different route to keep things interesting. Along the way, we saw plenty of birds, monkeys, and beautiful forest scenery.
Reaching the Treetop Walk was definitely the highlight. Walking across the suspension bridge, surrounded by towering trees and endless greenery, was such a breathtaking experience. It felt like we were floating above the forest, taking in the view from a whole new perspective.
Things to Keep in Mind
- This hike isn’t for everyone—it’s not ideal for pregnant women, young children, or those with mobility issues or a fear of heights.
- Some parts of the trail are steep, but nothing too overwhelming if you take it slow.
- There’s plenty of wildlife, so expect to see monkeys, birds, and lots of interesting plants along the way.
We loved every bit of this hike. It was the perfect mix of adventure, nature, and just enough challenge to make it rewarding. The view from the suspension bridge made every step worth it, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys hiking and the great outdoors.
