Wave House Sentosa Review
Beginner to experienced rider, this attraction has it all. Mini surfboard to body board, there is an option to get your adrenaline pumping. The staff are very friendly and professional offering tips to ensure riders get the most out of their experience. Onlookers are not forgotten with a bar and casual dining located adjacent. Highly recommend.
It's a beach resort with a wading pool and restaurant. The food is more than decent and the fun is at the two wave pools. One is for serious wave seekers and another one is for the more casual bogey boarder or beginner surfer. It's easier to pick up with the instructors right at your side and the waves consistent because of the water jets. Much easier than actually going to a beach, paddling out and catching a wave. Fun for the whole family for a couple of hours. Parents can relax in the shade and have a beer or cocktail. Or they can join the surfing fun.
