A short roar of engine, a spray of sea on your forearms, and Singapore’s glass-and-concrete skyline recedes until only the wide blue remains. The speedboat cuts a clean line through the Southern Islands, and within 20–30 minutes you’re approaching Kusu Island: low, green, and framed by pale sand. Waves nudge the hull as the guide calls out the shrines and turtle sanctuary ahead.
