What Makes it Special

• The inclusion of a hearty, locally-sourced lunch at Bollywood Veggie provides an authentic farm-to-table culinary experience.

• Bilingual guiding in English and Chinese ensures a seamless, culturally rich narrative for a diverse range of travelers.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The tour is best enjoyed in the early morning when temperatures are cooler and the farm animals at Hay Dairies are most active during feeding time. While Singapore's tropical climate makes this an excellent year-round excursion, visiting during the drier months from February to April ensures the most comfortable outdoor walking conditions.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Capture the stunning, expansive reflections of the sky on the Kranji Reservoir during the mid-morning golden hour for breathtaking landscape shots.

• Use a fast shutter speed and get down to eye level to photograph the playful goats at Hay Dairies without startling them.

• Frame your lunch photos at Bollywood Veggie using the vibrant, leafy green backdrops of the vertical gardens and hydroponic towers.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Singaporeans appreciate cleanliness and respect for nature, so please ensure you dispose of any trash in designated bins while exploring the farms and reservoir. When interacting with the animals at Hay Dairies, follow the farmer's instructions carefully and avoid feeding them anything other than the provided food to respect their strict dietary routines.
