Pulau Hantu Photos

Getting there...



On the island...

Thanks to the rain, these are the only two photos I took on Pulau Hantu itself! :(

Spot the centipede! The island is crawling with them at night, and they terrorised the Sec 1s!


In between the photos above and below, we had an eventful night defending ourselves against the creepy crawlies, and a VERY wet and VERY cold morning from 5 am onwards. Everyone was glad to get off the island.


An expedition / adventure usually involves pushing yourself to, and beyond your limits, physically and emotionally. It also involves braving the elements, and I think we survived the worst that Singapore weather could throw at us - from the sunniness of Saturday afternoon to the lightning, rain and strong winds of Saturday night and early Sunday morning. I hope everyone emerged stronger from this experience!

Going back...

Most of the Boys would probably say that the boat trip was the best part about Pulau Hantu!



The end - cleaning stores
