Sentosa has collaborated with internationally acclaimed recycling artist Thomas Dambo to create an exciting and thought-provoking quest for all visitors.

This quest will lead you along a sustainability adventure through Palawan Beach, encouraging you to explore hidden corners of the area while taking time to think about how our behavior impacts nature and the waste we generate.

For his first installation in Southeast Asia, Thomas has constructed four giant Explorers made from up-cycled wood and plastic.

With the aid of an interactive online map, you'll need to follow the trail of Eternity Flowers to find all the Explorers which have been placed all along the beachscape.

Date: From now till end 2024
