Description

We heard you. After years of guiding travellers and thousands of positive reviews, we know what makes a better experience: less waiting around, no long hotel pick-ups, no overly large groups and more time enjoying Singapore.

Experience four of Singapore’s highlights in one easy evening, from a relaxing river cruise in the early evening, to watching the city light up after sunset, and ending the night with the flavours Singapore is famous for.

Cruise along the historic Singapore River aboard a heritage bumboat on a relaxing 30 to 40-minute ride, taking in landmarks along its banks, including the Merlion, Singapore’s iconic symbol, the Fullerton heritage district and the stunning Marina Bay skyline.

Watch the Garden Rhapsody light and music show illuminate the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, followed by the spectacular Spectra Light & Water Show at Marina Bay Sands, with lights, lasers and dancing fountains set against the waterfront and Singapore skyline.

End your night at the iconic Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre & Satay Street, where you can stay for some late-night eats and discover Singapore’s famous hawker food at your own pace. Think sizzling satay straight from the charcoal grill, the legendary sweet, savoury and spicy chilli crab, the much-loved Hainanese chicken rice, one of Singapore’s most famous local dishes, and plenty of other local favourites.
