Anyone ever heard about St John Island? This place is rarely known even by people who are staying in Singapore or by the tourist. Most known islands in Singapore are Sentosa and Pulau Ubin. Actually still there are few islands other than these 2 that are St John Island, Kusu Island, Sister Island, etc. They are all located in the Southern Singapore. In a map you may find it below of Sentosa.
Regular ferry to St John and Kusu Island is provided which operated by Singapore Island Cruise while others have to chartered a boat.
If you wish to make a trip to these Islands, you can get there by taking ferry at Marina South Pier. You can reach to this pier by taking train to Marina Bay MRT station (RED Line) and go by Exit B instead of Exit A (currently Exit A is closed due to construction on going as per 02/05/2011). From the Exit B you may heading to main road and turn left and make your way to underpass, there is bus stop about 100m away and take bus no 402 from there.
Ferry ticket will cost you S$15 for return ticket for both St john and kusu island. Do remember passport is not required as this is still in Singapore. The travel time is about 15-20mins between the islands.
Important things to bring that i can suggest are umbrella, food, and drinks. There is no F&B shop inside there so you have to bring it at your own.
Facilities include: Swimming lagoons, toilets, shelters and picnic areas.
I didnt take picture a map of kusu island, but there is for st john:
