For parents and senior travellers
Easy transfers to and in Sentosa
- Ask about wheelchair loans and lift access at each attraction when you arrive, because layouts differ widely.
- Carry medicines in original packaging, take out travel insurance that covers medical care, and note that Singapore's hospitals are on the mainland.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
