Great place with free public access. It can easily be reached by the public transport (bus). Also some beaches to explore in the neighbourhood.

Great place to spend time with tortoises. A friendly young man explained and showed us everything. There is also a separate enclosure with baby tortoises. Well worth a visit.

Nice place inside Raffles. Next to a lovely beach. On road car parking outside Raffles main gate. A short paved path leads to this place. There’s a beautiful calm beach right next door. Icing on the cake 👍

Nice walk, big tortoises (no admission fee), beautiful beach right near the tortoise sanctuary

I really don’t want to be a Karen but I don’t know why they call this sanctuary? These poor animals being held in a super small muddy place right next to the helicopter landing pad of Raffles ? Frankly speaking, I have no idea if they are well cared for, but it paints a very poor picture. I don’t understand how a five star hotel can entertain this and how this is allowed?
