Discover Singapore, a green oasis where enriching experiences come with smaller footprints

With immersive activities and tours for all, Go Green SG invites you to unearth Singapore’s sustainability-led initiatives.

During the Zero to Hero Food Sustainability Tour, venture to the Clementi heartlands and forage for “ugly food” at the wet markets. Instead of letting these imperfect goods end up as trash, learn how to convert them into compost and help to reduce waste at the same time. For beer lovers, the Tiger Brewery Tour in Tuas is a must. Here, uncover cool eco-innovations and sample the pale lager beer—the nation’s very first beer. Choose local beers and reduce your carbon footprint, it’s a win-win.

For something more adventurous, experience The Full Intertidal: Explore, Learn, Engage. Discover more about Singapore’s intertidal environment and marine biodiversity, before participating in a beach cleanup at Changi Beach. If you love getting in the waters, hitch the Waters of Change Kayak Tour. Through this kayaking tour, go on an educational journey of Singapore’s water sustainability story. Despite being challenged with water scarcity as a small nation, learn more about how Singapore remains self-sufficient and stands as a global leader in water management today.

Families, gather the troops for a Sustainability Tour at Singapore Zoo. Visit key spots around the zoo and learn more about efforts surrounding environmental sustainability and wildlife conservation. Along the way, gain knowledge about relevant issues too like deforestation. Pro-tip: Don’t miss the adorable animal “meet and greets” that will leave the kids delighted. In the heart of Marina Bay, attempt The Melting Menace (Sustainability Puzzle Hunt). Put your collaborative skills to the test with this 2.5-hour puzzle hunt, while soaking in Singapore’s stunning skyline. Cap off your day with the Sustainability Garden Cruiser Audio Tours nearby. Enjoy a tranquil ride around Gardens by the Bay, a sprawling futuristic nature park with breathtaking conservatories. While taking in the scenery, learn about the state-of-the-art sustainability initiatives that are in place.

Want to dig deeper into urban farming? Join the Harvesting Culture, Planting Seeds Tour at City Sprouts—an urban farm set within a repurposed school in Redhill. Focusing on community and food connection, City Sprouts houses plenty of greenhouses that promote sustainable farming and community-centric agriculture. Green Glam Up is another interactive tour by City Sprouts, where you’ll see greener alternatives to single-use products. Try making natural scrubs and hair masks from scratch using simple ingredients.

Whether you're a nature lover or a discerning traveller seeking greener stays, these eco-friendly hotels in Singapore are worth checking into.

A standout in the city’s iconic skyline, Marina Bay Sands’ (MBS) boasts impressive eco credentials. Right from the lobby, you’ll notice how the glass facade maximises the use of natural light to illuminate the space. The large art installation, Wind Arbor by Ned Kahn, also serves as a shade. Keep your eyes peeled for the edible garden too, which reduces food miles and waste by supplying fresh produce to on-site restaurants. Over at Sands SkyPark, lifts recover and convert energy produced into reusable energy. And, within the lavish rooms, notice self-closing taps and sensors that turn off the air-conditioning when balcony doors are ajar.

For Go Green SG this year, don’t miss specially curated exhibitions like Exploring Ecosystems through Digital Art and Sensory Odyssey. MBS hotel guests are also entitled to join the Botanical Watercolour Experience with Lucinda Law, a local botanical artist. Try your hand at sketching Thunbergia laurifolia flowers (as seen around the hotel), and learn about Singapore’s biodiversity while savouring tea-time treats. For a family-friendly activity, consider the From Plastics to Fab Bags Workshop. Suitable for those aged eight and above, this ticketed workshop will show you how to craft a DIY bag by upcycling single-use plastics.

What’s more, The Fullerton Hotel is partnering with Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum to host an exhibition on local marine diversity and promote conservation titled: Specimen Stories: Biodiversity in a Changing Climate. The main centrepiece? A life-sized replica of a sperm whale’s skull found in Singapore waters. Held at The Fullerton Hotel’s East Garden Gallery, this event (and the lovely views) is free to enjoy.

Spending the night at Fairmont Singapore or Swissôtel The Stamford Singapore? Then, you’ve heard about their joint aquaponics farm. As part of local sourcing, this farm was built to meet the rising demand for fresh quality produce. During Go Green SG, don’t miss the Aquaponics Farm-to-Table Experience. Get to the root of aquaponics farming and smell the edible herbs grown on the property, concoct a vitality drink and enjoy a 3-course lunch at The Stamford Brasserie with ingredients from the farm.
