- Welcome and introduction of your tour itinerary.
Entrance to Rifle Range Nature Park- Rambai Boardwalk
Learn about the history of Rifle Range Nature park as Quarry with a surrounding village. Walk above the canopy of a tropical rainforest; see fruit trees, e.g. durian, rambutan, bananas and longans and feel the leaves of selected plant species. Appreciate how upcycled timber is used to construct the boardwalk.
Visitor Pavilion - Gliders Boardwalk
Notice plants that line up along a forest stream, like the bamboo, its relation to village life and symbolism in Chinese culture. Plants like pandan (screwpine) leaves help absorb heavy metals and pollutants on a stormwater system, before being discharged into reservoirs. See the photovoltaic cells that line up the top of the visitor's pavilion responsible for powering the park and supplying power to the grid.
Forest Play Area
We'll explore/ meditate/ interact with nature and discuss landscape design elements in the park. This includes such as the rope bridge crossing for arboreal animals like the colugo, a nest box for Horsefield's squirrel's to nest, etc.
Quarry Wetland to Colugo Deck
Soak in the beauty of the Quarry wetlands. Get to know a bit more about iconic plant species like the Simpor Ayer plant, pitcher plants and more. From the wetlands, we'll take a short walk up to the Colugo Deck, 31m above ground to take in panoramic views of the park and surrounds.
Visit a secret urban rooftop farm at Beauty World
Tour the volunteer run farm with edible plant and herb species. Learn how food waste generated from building vendors is being composted through a variety of systems. Infuse some herbs harvested fresh from the garden in a hot cup of tea.

About Tour Guide Stefan C.
Hello!
I'm Stefan (pronounced 'Stare-fun') who's proud to be a Singaporean with lived experiences in Norway and Australia. Sometimes, I'm eager to bring you on a journey to uncover a side of Singapore that's vibrant and creative with arts, heritage and design. Other times, I take visitors for a walk on the wild side with nature to be discovered and stories of wildlife to be told.
As a licensed STB tourist guide, I design tours that engage and delight the senses of my guests. I guide with passion, enthusiasm, knowledge and a punny sense of humour! You'll never 'panda' off too far! As an advocate for sustainability and personal wellbeing, I may share tips and minor life hacks that you can consider incorporating into your daily lives and routines for self-care and for the environment.
Just a little bit more about me- I have facilitated visitor experiences at the ArtScience Museum, and am a Docent Volunteer at the Southeast Asia Aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa Singapore. I am actively involved in Citizen-Science programs like intertidal and nature walks that builds awareness of biodiversity and conservation.
I am also a classically trained singer and avid musical theatre enthusiast. So we'll have lots to talk/ sing about if you're into music too. Maybe I'll even share a tune or two when we're at opportune performing sites. I look forward to sharing my passion for music, design, nature and wellbeing with friends all over the world.
