FREE fun for the whole family! 

Every year, millions of migratory shorebirds make an extraordinary journey from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to this part of the world. The journey is a difficult one, and many of them fall prey to hunters, predators and storms. For the shorebirds that arrive at Sungei Buloh, the reserve is a constant sanctuary in a coastline that is changing everywhere.

Join us in celebrating and welcoming the return of these marvels of endurance back home to Sungei Buloh with Welcome Waders!
