I had high expectations from Kusu in terms of great picnic spot but it turned out to be disappointing. The Island really don't have anything to offer except few turtles in a pond and a old chinese temple. There was nothing great about beaches or landscape.
However, the cruise ride (SGD 15) to Kusu was worth the money. Will recommend...

I spent the hour the returning ferry from Lazarus Island allows you wandering around this tiny island. It is pleasant enough. The temple is so so. The few tired turtles in the ponds seem as listless as the old temple caretaker who will sell you a cold drink.
The flat part of the island has been landscaped and it is...

Get a good view of down town Singapore from the boat out there. Kusu has a shrine on it and not much else

The island was quiet and the surrounding sea view was pretty. The temple has unique architecture design. Wishing well was a hit with kids.

Take a boat from Marina South Pier, best to visit off season but boats are harder to come by, during Kusu Season, be prepare to wait at least 2 hours for your ride.
The island is popular with pilgrim during the Kusu season, there's a Chinese Tua Pek Gong temple and a Muslim Kramat on the hilltop.
There's a lagoon...

We visited as part of a cruise and were only there for 45 mins but I can see the potential in this place if you are a Singapore native. It would be a great place to escape with the family for a picnic on a Sunday afternoon.

Kusu Island (also known as Turtle Island) can be reached by a twice daily (morning/afternoon) boat service from Marina South Pier. The first boat departs Singapore at 9.30am, has a brief stop at St John’s Island before heading to Kusu Island around 11am.
Kusu Island is a quiet oasis after the bustle of Singapore. The ocean views are stunning and...
