Geocache Description:

A really huge turtle happened to save two shipwrecked sailors – a Malay and a Chinese, transforming itself into an island. As an act of thanks, the two men build a Chinese temple, a Malay shrine and a huge turtle sculpture.

So goes the legend behind Kusu island. Today, Taoists still make annual pilgrimages to the Tua Pekong Temple during the ninth lunar month (falls around Sept to Nov according to the Lunar Calendar), while Muslims visit Kramat Kusu, the Malay shrine.

Stunning views of the mainland can be seen from the island's beaches and its hilltop. The warm waters of the lagoon are ideal for swimming.

Little Foster TB is waiting within to continue its journey. Log it to claim FTF!!!

Take a ferry from Sentosa Ferry Terminal. Departure times: 10 am and 1.30 pm (Mon to Sat), and at 9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm and 5pm (Sun and public holidays). Ferry information correct as at the time of cache placement.

Cache's a yellow semi-transparent tupperware measuring 15cm x 15cm x 7cm.
