Our family loves going on nature hikes and since overseas travel was curbed, we started exploring more locally. There're many nature trails to discover here and some of the gems can be found on Sentosa - the Imbiah Trail, Coastal Trail and Mount Imbiah Nature Trail. The first two are pretty known but the last one not so much and more secluded.
If you’re planning to hike with the kids or on your own, you can try out the Siloso Trail as part of the MSIG Biodiversity Mission 2021 on District app. MSIG Insurance has developed 2 trail challenges that you can do in Singapore - Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and Siloso trails - in order to raise awareness about the biodiversity at these 2 sites. The trails are FREE and open to everyone. All you need is the latest version of the District app and off you go!
We did just that and for once, wifey & I took a backseat and let the monkies take the lead in the Siloso trail. Using the District app, they navigated through the trail, stopped at various checkpoints to either collect points or answer questions about the local biodiversity we came across on the trail. Swipe to see how they did for some of them! In addition to points earned along the way, 200 points will be awarded for every 1km walked. Let’s just say I have never seen them so eager to compete and walk MORE. Maybe because there are $50 sports vouchers to be won for the top scorers! LOL.
So if you have been trying your darndest to get the kids outdoors, maybe the MSIG Biodiversity Mission will be up their alley. The app is super easy to use, the trails are kid-friendly (even for beginners), there are points to earn, and the kids get to learn more about the fauna and flora in our home country too. Lotsa wins right there!
