8. Bungy Jump, Giant Swing or Skybridge at AJ Hackett
One of the best views of Siloso Beach on Sentosa is when you’re plummeting towards the ground from 50-metres in the air, a bungy cord strapped to your ankles and bouncing back up again and again until you come to a complete stop. It’s heart-in-your-mouth sightseeing just like the Giant Swing that will hurtle you towards the beach at speeds of 100km/h and more. Otherwise, AJ Hackett’s Skybridge is a 40-metre walkway with see-through sections to make you feel as if you’re walking through the air.
