About Sentosa Island Express

Skip the traffic and glide into Singapore's premier playground with the Sentosa Express monorail, your fastest ticket to the State of Fun. This swift eight-minute scenic ride not only grants you seamless island admission but also drops you right at the doorstep of world-class attractions, pristine beaches, and thrilling theme parks.

Local Legends & Stories

Before it became the State of Fun, Sentosa was known as Pulau Blakang Mati, which translates to the island behind death, a name rooted in local maritime folklore and its history as a British military fortress. Today, the monorail traces a path over this transformed landscape, symbolizing the island's vibrant rebirth into a paradise of leisure.

Must Do Experiences

  • Ride the monorail to Beach Station to soak up the sun at Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong beaches.

  • Alight at Waterfront Station to dive into the cinematic thrills of Universal Studios Singapore and the marine wonders of S.E.A. Aquarium.

  • Hop off at Imbiah Station to explore nature trails, the Butterfly Park, and interactive attractions like 4D Adventureland.

  • Enjoy the elevated panoramic views of the Singapore harbour and lush island canopy during your swift transit between stations.

Hidden Gems

  • Look out for the hidden murals and vibrant art installations scattered around the monorail stations, especially near Beach Station.

  • Take the short walk from Imbiah Station to the lesser-known Sentosa Nature Discovery centre to learn about the island's rich biodiversity.

  • Ride the Express late on a Friday or Saturday night to catch the spectacular illuminated views of Resorts World Sentosa without the daytime crowds.

What Makes it Special

  • It serves as both your island admission ticket and your primary air-conditioned transport, offering incredible value and convenience.

  • The fully automated, driverless trains provide unobstructed, sweeping views of the island's lush greenery and coastal landmarks.

  • Extended weekend operating hours until midnight allow for seamless late-night transitions between beach clubs, casinos, and night safaris.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Early mornings around 7:00 AM offer the most peaceful rides with minimal queues, perfect for beating the heat and heading straight to the beaches or morning theme park entries. For spectacular sunset and night-lighting views of the island, hop on the Express between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, taking advantage of the extended weekend hours to explore the island after dark.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

  • Capture the stunning contrast of the lush green island canopy against the modern skyline of Resorts World Sentosa from the front or rear cabin windows.

  • Visit Beach Station during the golden hour just before sunset for spectacular silhouettes and vibrant sky reflections over the South China Sea.

  • Avoid using flash photography inside the monorail cabins to prevent glare on the glass windows and respect fellow passengers.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Singaporeans value orderliness, so please queue patiently at the platform markers and allow passengers to alight before boarding the monorail. It is considered polite to offer your designated priority seat to the elderly, pregnant women, or those with young children. Keep your voice down and avoid playing loud music on your phone to maintain a pleasant environment for everyone.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

  • Experience the magical festive light-ups and special themed monorail wraps during the Christmas and Lunar New Year seasons.

  • Catch the spectacular aerial views of the island's fireworks displays from the monorail during major celebrations like National Day and New Year's Eve.

  • Enjoy extended midnight services and vibrant crowds during the annual Sentosa Sensoryscape light and sound festivals.

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

  • Always hold onto the handrails while the monorail is in motion and remain seated until the train comes to a complete halt at your destination.

  • Mind the gap between the train and the platform edge when boarding and alighting, especially when travelling with strollers or wheelchairs.

  • Keep a close eye on young children near the platform edges and never attempt to hold the train doors open with your hands or belongings.
