One of the highlights is Treetop Walking on a free-standing suspension bridge that connects the two highest points (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and offers a bird’s eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest canopy.

And if you like the idea of treetop walking, you may also enjoy walking along the highest pedestrain bridge in Singapore, the Henderson Waves Bridge.
