Take a leap of faith from the country’s first 50m-tall bungee tower on Sentosa Island’s Siloso Beach. You can choose to have your head dipped in the 3.5m-deep pool of water at the bottom or stay dry.

This high-adrenaline ride was designed and created in New Zealand, and has maintained a 100 percent safety record since it was introduced in Singapore over 10 years ago.
