Best for: Marine life lovers 

Come face-to-face with inhabitants of the sea at the beloved S.E.A. Aquarium, which has been transformed into a themed lush paradise with The Sea of Tiki. Visitors will get to marvel at the aquatic residents amidst a Tropical Trail – including the racoon butterflyfish, yellow tang, slingjaw wrasse and the aquarium's iconic manta rays – and uncover fun facts about these inhabitants in the ecosystem. 

Pose at several photo spots scattered around the aquarium before ending the journey at the aquarium, with an adorable volcanic installation coupled with audio and visual effects. 

The fan-favourite dive feeding session will also resume at the iconic Open Ocean Habitat, which houses one of the world’s largest viewing panels. This time, it's themed as a Tiki Warrior Dive Feed, which has aquarists donning colourful garlands and tropical grass skirts swimming alongside more than 40,000 marine animals across 120 species including the zebra shark, white-spotted eagle ray and giant grouper. Watch in awe as they are hand-fed during this spectacular session.

Best for: Bonding time with the whole family 

Everyone's favourite characters come to life at Universal Studios Singapore – and this time, they're all dressed up for the beautiful tropics. Take the kids out on a day of fun in the sun at the theme park and get the chance to meet King Kahula, the talking tiki and snap photos of beloved characters including the Minions and Gru from Illumination's Despicable Me. The Sesame Street friends will also be around as they flaunt tropical island attire alongside stilt-walkers and hip-swaying hula characters. 

Keep a lookout for DreamWorks Animation's Shrek, Princess Fiona, Puss in Boots and Kitty Softpaws in grass skirts, garlands and shades. You might also spot Branch and Poppy from DreamWorks Animation's Trolls plus Guy Diamond’s first-ever appearance at Universal Studios Singapore. If you're hungry, head into Mel's Drive-In^TM and devour the Tropical Paradise Burger or indulge in the Hala Kahiki Pot at Loui’s NY Pizza Parlor.

Best for: Serious foodies! 

Indulge in a taste of Hawaii at Osia Steak & Seafood Grill. Its new culinary offerings, The Haute Tropics: A Sun-and-Sea Spread brings diners a new five-course set menu. 

Sink your teeth into a wide selection of hearty Pacific-style grilled seafood and meat reinterpreted as haute cuisine at a special price starting from $155 per person for five courses. You'll love sumptuous delights like the Blackmore full blood wagyu skirt steak and wild red prawn served with fragrant garlic herb butter, roasted asparagus and golden pineapple salsa.

The food is best paired with exclusive cocktails like Dark 'N' Stormy ($20) and the Clarified Milk Punch Pina Colada ($22). Alternatively, choose a curated wine pairing complete with four glasses of artisanal antipodean wines ($88).

Best for: A girls' night out

Friday nights don't necessarily have to be spent in the city. For a change of scenery, gather the girls and embark on a Hawaiian gourmet adventure at Fratelli. 

Come hungry and tuck into handmade pizzas with unique toppings freshly baked in a wood-fired stone hearth oven. If you're not sure what to order, here's a brilliant recommendation: order up the Ono Luau Pizza ($32) – with a smoky tomato sauce base topped with fresh buffalo mozzarella, shredded Hawaiian-style smoky and juicy Kalua pork, marinated zucchini, caramelised onions, arugula and semi-dried tomatoes. 

Don't forget to save room for a tempting selection of delectable desserts. The Haupia Pie ($14) is a dark chocolate tart topped with traditional Hawaiian coconut milk-based Haupia and whipped cream on top. For a tipple, sip on one of the seasonal cocktails like the Blue Hawaii ($20) and Champagne Punch ($22). 

Here's another perk to take advantage of: From now till May 31, you can enjoy 40 percent off these exclusive menus when you pay with your Mastercard. To enjoy this offer, simply use the promo code “RWSMC40” when making an online reservation.
