Relaxing and entertaining city river cruise

Bit of a line-up to get on the cruise but worth it especially if you take the cruise around 7pm as you also get to see the laser light display reflecting on the river. The cost of SGD20 covers the cost of the cruise only...More

Excellent Boat tour

Took the boat tour from Clarke Quay. The tour lasted about 50 minutes and gave a great view of the city and the bay. The architecture is terrific. The audio tour was also very informative.

The bliss of concrete and quaint mix

The boat ride not only covers a few places of importance but gives you a scenic roundabout. Feels like a little Venice without the gondola.

Our favorite thing to do with overseas guests!

Get on queue on the Clark Quay side, near Hooters restaurant, about 6:30 or so. We don't bother with the (sometimes) longer queue for the sunset/light show, we like the one "just before" it. Usually less people--half the ride is in sunlight, the last half...More

Pretty good.

Singapore River Cruise is a nice way to fill in an hour and get some respite from the humidity. Only negative is the endless procession of flag waving, whistle blowing tour guides and their patrons. If you can time it to get a quiet one...More

Is the boat wheelchair accessible?

Getting over into the boat would be cautious. They help handing you over onto the boat. And it rocks at times. You would need to assess your position and what they have available.
