New Covid-19 RulesThis activity allows for a total of 20pax with sub groups that do not exceed 5paxThis activity does not require vaccination or PET (Pre Event Test)This is a 5-hour expedition to the Marsiling Bunkers in Singapore, with a twist! It's adventurous without being daunting, and it's really fun for groups of friends/couples/families! Suitable for all ages from 5-65. You may opt for a private trip (choose your own preferred date!) with a min. of 4 pax booking. Option Highlights✅ Explore abandoned WWII bunkers that few have seen ✅ Mini-challenges along the way so that you can experience the bunkers in a fresh light!✅ Awesome DSLR photos to show friends & family What to ExpectExplore the abandoned WWII structures leftover from British rule amidst rambling jungle vines. You'll visit two bunkers as part of this expedition - both of which are hidden in a forest without walking trails. These bunkers used to be where the British (and later the Japanese army) kept their supplies and ammunition, and one of them is HUGE. Our favourite part? This expedition comes with a twist! To bring the tunnels to life and make this more fun, the Beyond Expedition team love to come up with mini-challenges. We won't reveal them here as these challenges are what we loved most about the expedition - but just a head's up that you'll need to be prepared to get muddy! They aren't daunting though (plus are optional!), and will be suitable for anyone from 5 to 65 years. As with any good expedition, this experience ends with a tea & cookies session where you can chill out, and swap stories! The Beyond Expedition team will also act as your personal photographers as well with their DSLR so that you have keepsakes of the trip. We don't want to spoil too much, but expect to see a side of Singapore you've never seen before! Who can JoinThis experience is suitable for all ages, from as young as 5 to as old as 65! As long as you’re up for some unconventional fun and aren't afraid of getting dirty, this trip is definitely one to go for! Wet-Weather This activity happens rain or shine, do bring along a poncho in case of wet weather! Pet-Friendly If your pet doesn't mind getting muddy, this could be a great expedition for him/her! The mud does get pretty deep though so this might be suitable for larger dogs.

Scott Tay, the founder and owner of Beyond Expeditions, started backpacking at the ripe age of 17. During those years and into adulthood, Scott developed into an seasoned traveller. Whenever Scott steps out into the world for travel, he makes a point to go off the beaten path. "Unconventional destinations", that's his mantra. He is a celebrated photographer with a diverse portfolio ranging from landscape to portraiture. His outgoing and friendly demeanour makes him a charismatic and effable facilitator for your expedition, while his sense of humour and love for the locals and nomads is contagious to those around him. This brawny gentleman was also a former fire fighter certified in emergency response and imbued with grit, tenacity and a deep sense of responsibility. Scott brings along with him an immense wealth of experience in adventure and the outdoors. Most recently, Scott embarked on a personal journey to raise funds for the Singapore Cancer Society and trekked 800 km across the Gobi Desert of Mongolia.

Had an enjoyable time with my dogs exploring the world war 2 bunkers! Scott from Beyond Expeditions made things very casual and enhanced our experience with jokes and nuggets of history. 10/10. Will recommend.

Scott, our tour guide was amazing, he is warm and friendly and the experience itself was memorable. It’s a very fun and attractive activity specially now that we cannot travel. The end of the expedition, with some sweets and masala tea was just perfect.

Super unique experience in Singapore! We could have visited the bunkers ourselves (well, if we managed to find them!), but we were super glad we did it with Beyond Expeditions as the way they did it made it 10X more interesting.
I’ve lived in Singapore pretty much my whole life and never knew these bunkers existed! They were much larger than I thought they would be and getting to see them really brought back the awe of travelling.
Our favourite part of the experience was all the side challenges that our guide Scott came up with! We went in a group of 4 as a surprise birthday treat for a friend. And the side challenges were a super fun way of bringing the tunnels for life for us, and getting us to experience them in a way that we wouldn’t otherwise have. We also got much muddier than the other guy in our group who didn’t opt to do the challenges, but that’s part of the fun!
Scott was also a great guide - super engaging and involving each person in the group. Along the way Scott also told us little fun facts about the bunkers. Not too much that makes it feel like a history lesson, but enough fun facts and stories that really brought the tunnels to life for us.
I also really enjoyed the tea session at the end, which was the perfect end to the expedition!

We had an amazing time and would certainly recommend to anyone who wants to do something new and quite different to what else you can do in Singapore. Our guide for the day was excellent and a ball of energy!! Just be prepared to get muddy :)
