Getting around Sentosa Island is a breeze with reliable private driver options. The essentials: One-way hotel pickups for Universal Studios start promptly each morning, while the practical 1-Day Pass includes round-trip transfers. Airport transfers from the island run $70.01 – a fair price for Singapore. I especially love the Adventure Cove Waterpark transfer service – the shared shuttles are well-maintained and always on time. For families and small groups, the 13-passenger minibuses offer great value and comfort.
Two standout options I’ve personally tested: The Universal Studios door-to-door service (perfect for early park admission) and the combo pass transfers (ideal for hitting multiple attractions efficiently).
Let’s explore the top transportation choices for your Sentosa visit.
