Rainforest Wild ASIA — Attraction in Singapore

Rainforest Wild Asia, which recently opened in March, is a beautiful park offering scenic landscapes and walks, close encounters to various animals, various adventures and thrilling activities, as well as a team of friendly and highly trained staff - who not only ensure the utmost safety is taken in any activity, but many of whom have conservation /zookeeper/UN backgrounds.

The website had an amazing opening deal for tourists - 50% off the Wild Cavern Adventure bundle which includes admission to the park, as well as ticket for the Wild Cavern Adventure - a 3 hour tour experience with dedicated guides to educate as well as take your through a unique and otherwise inaccessible experience emulating caving.

We booked in for the 9:30am session and arrived to the park 15 minutes prior (as was required for the adventure). We thought you had to walk through the entire park to the cavern area, only to find out the entrance for the experience is outside the front entry gates. This meant we ended up late for the session but the team were super accommodating and were able to catch us up with the group (which ended up being small and intimate, luckily for us).

Our guides Mike and Sam were amazing - so informative and explained to us cave habitats, their formations, creatures and experiences. The cavern area is largely inside and air-conditioned so highly recommend for the afternoon when you want to escape the Singapore heat! As for the caving experience, after various safety briefings, checks and introductory training, the team take you into the cave where you climb through low light, traverse corridors and across a 5m chasm, as well as abseil down a 10m drop. They also give you the opportunity to adventure through a certain tunnel in complete darkness (although remember to turn off the display on your smart watch if you opt into this!).

The team provide phone pouches to loan dor the experience and help you capture imagery (and will airdrop to fellow iphone users) throughout the experience. The bundle also includes a few complimentary images for digital, but you can opt to print them for a fee. Overall, my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the Wild Cavern Adventure experience and highly recommend it to all visitors. It may be difficult for those who get claustrophobic, however, I would say a fear of heights is not an issue as often it is too dark to see how high a drop is.

As for Rainforest Wild Asia itself, the landscapes are so carefully tendered, with gardeners often seen on-site ensuring each enclosure is perfectly taken care of. The wooden walkways are stunning, and for the forest paths, they have installed brushes to remove any mud from your shoes at the base of each staircase, which is such a thoughtful touch for the guest experience. We were able to see all animals around the park when we visited - for the animals who sleep/hide during peak heat, I recommend asking a worker where the animal is situated because they often know and can help you spot it (we almost missed a tiger sleeping between trees)!

The facilities on-site have also considered the guest experience with various clean toilets around the park, water refill stations, 4x food and beverage locations around for replenishment (or to replenish yourself with aircon), signage and maps, misting fans and more.

There are also additional adventure experiences you can do including the AIA vitality bounce and canopy jump - both require an additional fee. Would recommend the canopy jump for thrill seekers as you can do either a 13m or 20m jump!

If it wasn’t so hot, we would have loved to try the Wild Apex Adventure along the Karsts as it looks more thrilling than the cavern experience and will let you feel close to the Francois Langurs nearby.

Overall, highly recommend visiting Rainforest Wild Asia. Out of all the Mandai parks, this and Night Safari have been our favourites by far (although they are all amazing and...

This is the 2nd time I visited the latest Park. It was so so so great!!!!

I was there with my friend. We took Grab but you can also use public transportation: Get to Khatib MRT station Then there will be a shuttle bus taking you directly to the Rain Forest (and Bird Paradise) directly. *I don't if there is a charge from Khatib to the park, but on the way back, the charge is $2.50nett per person.

1/ I recommend trying the Cave Experience - Wild Cavern - a replica of the Mulu Cave in Malaysia. It was great for me but I wish the route could be longer a little bit hahaha.

Kindly be advised that the cave is not for those who have: Acrophobia (Height) Claustrophobia (Small Space) Nyctophobia (Darkness) Basophobia (Falling)

The reasons are: It will be very dark at some points so make sure that you step/walk carefully You will have a chance to experience a short zipline, and to walk down a deep pit by yourself

To me, I have never experienced any caves before, so it was very interesting for me and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks to this experience, I have a huge motivation to go to Mulu Cave.

*Notes: I strongly recommend wearing long sleves and long pants Girls, make sure that your hair is tied into a neat bun Go to the restroom and drink water before starting the journey There will be lockers so don't worry, you can carry your big totes as usual

(+) The staff there are super friendly, especially Nesh and Mac. They have a huge sense of humor just like my long lost friends. They put effort in checking all safety equipment and even cross checking to make sure It was raining so my group only have 6 pax and it was not hot as well Well designed route, it seemed like very fast but it took us almost 2 hours Hairnets and gloves are provided. You can bring home the gloves too.

(-) Due to raining, we cannot take the outdoor route to the cave entrance. We had to take the normal staircase. No drinking fountains and cannot carry water so I wish Mandai could add somefountains along the way, especially for those who are tired and need to rest a little bit before continue.

Yep, so far so good!!!

2/ Oh I also attended the Canopy Jump. Thank you Lily and team for always smiling ans assisting us even it was raining.

If you buy the bundle ticket with Cave Experience, the Canopy Jump will have a 50% discount. I did not see this in the website but when I asked the staff there, he told me to go down and purchased directly.

There are two options for you: 13 meters 20 meters I chose the 20 meters one. It was not as scary as bungee jumping because you will land slowly and touch down with your feet, not going up again like bungee.

3/ Apart from this, you can observe animals in a closer distance (like the pictures of the Red Shanked Douc Langur that I took).

In general, I love it. I will definitely bring my friends back here and yes, to experience the Wild...

Booking: Mandai Wildlife Reserve website Day: 12 May, Monday Add-on: Wild Cavern Adventure (WCA) Ate at: Sentinel Foodhall

I held onto my scepticism until we went for our briefing with the WCA crew. Our earlier WCA booking took precedence over our main entrance timeslot so that was great 😆

Rainforest Wild ASIA is incredibly fortunate to have Jey, Lutfil, Shikin, Jax, Salleh and Gabrielle on their team. Jey and Lutfil did a great job leading our group of 8 on the WCA, supported by Shikin, Jax and Salleh who helped out at various points on the adventure.

Jey and Lutfil led our group on the Wild Cavern Adventure (WCA) responsibly, with a light-hearted take on the tour. They made learning about geological miracles and cave fauna, so fun and full of amazement.

WCA has 3 high elements activities, which Jey and Lutfil took charge of with enthusiasm and meticulous attention to safety. As a person with a touch of acrophobia, I approached each one with shaky nerves, but the crew made us feel at ease with their good natured humour. There was a lightning risk alert when we started, but the crew quickly pivoted to conducting our training indoors instead. When the warning was off, they put us back on track smoothly 😊

After the WCA, we continued on the paths around the Rainforest Wild ASIA park. We loved being able to spot up close the huuuumongous saltwater croc, a bat (who made a home in the Cavern 🥹), a trio of beautiful douc langurs, the Malayan tiger and the adorable red dholes chilling out.

+/- Toilets: clean and well-maintained, but rather spread out haha. In one of the female toilets, one of the automatic sinks kept going off, even though nobody was anywhere near it. 🫠🥹

+/- Food-wise: Honestly, very disappointed that none of the stalls at Sentinel Foodhall had halal certification. A Muslim staff however, assured us that the food was prepared using halal ingredients, except that the foodhall served alcoholic beverages. We had food from the Thai-Viet stall. The seafood tom yum was delectable, but only soup! I had expected it to be served with noodles 🫠😂

When we had made our way back to the park entrance, it was minutes to closing time. Suddenly, we remembered we had not taken a photo at the Oculus, so we hot-footed our way through the "short-cuts"....The photo spot was already cordoned off, so we made do with a few selfies. Just then, Gabrielle v sweetly offered to take a few photos, even guiding us to a spot with better lighting.

Overall, I would recommend Rainforest Wild ASIA to everyone; families, seniors, couples, and friend group outings. We saw 1-2 wheelchair bound visitors as well, but cannot comment if they found it a friendly experience...However, we did observe that the main paths were smooth, wide and only a...
