At Adventure Cove, you can’t ask for a better location for a full day of water fun and adventure. Located on the sunny island of Sentosa, it offers something for everyone, from adrenaline-pumping water slides to the colourful underwater world of Rainbow Reef.
After visiting several times with my family, I’m somewhat of an expert on the best times to go, what to wear, and how to plan the day so we can enjoy every moment. So grab your swimwear, slather on some sunscreen, and get ready for a splashing good time!

What to See and Do in Adventure Cove
Snorkel in the Rainbow Reef

Rainbow Reef is a stunning snorkelling attraction with a beautiful reef. This unique artificial saltwater pond with real coral reefs offers a truly immersive and otherworldly snorkelling experience.
I highly recommend it to see what an underwater rainbow translated into marine life looks and feels. Before entering the water, a short briefing is provided, and snorkel masks are supplied (you can store baggage in a S$10 rental locker).
Take a ride on the Riptide Rocket
If you want a heart-pounding experience minus the sweats, try the Riptide Rocket, Southeast Asia’s first hydro-magnetic coaster. This ride blends the exhilaration of a roller coaster with the excitement of a water slide.
As you zoom through twists, turns, and drops, the hydro-magnetic technology propels you upward and downward, creating a sensation of weightlessness and rapid acceleration. Fun!
Let your kids play in the Seahorse Hideaway
I’ve found that Seahorse Hideaway is the perfect oasis for families with young children visiting Sentosa Adventure Cove. This dedicated play area is designed with the little ones in mind, featuring shallow waters that are safe for wading and gentle slides.
Water jets add an extra element of fun, creating a splashy, interactive environment that keeps kids entertained for hours. Plus, parents can relax nearby, knowing their children are enjoying a safe and enjoyable experience!
Make friends with stingrays at Ray Bay
You can get up close and personal with friendly stingrays at Sentosa Adventure Cove! Don’t worry: it’s a safe and carefully monitored environment where you have the unique opportunity to touch and feed these gentle creatures.
There’s nothing quite like feeling their smooth, velvety skin as they glide gracefully around you. It’s also a learning experience—knowledgeable staff provide guidance and interesting facts about the stingrays.

I highly recommend the succulent grilled chicken, perfectly marinated and served with crispy fries and a refreshing salad. If you’re in the mood for local cuisine, you must try the laksa. It’s rich and creamy with a hint of spice, packed with fresh prawns and rice noodles.
