Take A Little Trip around Singapore Town

Here is something that I advice you never to miss when you are in Singapore. The duck tours. This tour will allow you to view Singapore on both land and on the water.

I queued up for the tickets at Suntec city, right outside food republic. There is usually a lot of people queuing for it you will need to be patient here. And when you get to the counter, you may want to ask the counter for information on whether there are any packages on promotion. And if you are lucky, you may be able to get some good deals. However, when we went, we did not get any discount, it was still worth it though.

You will board into this boat and car mutated vehicle for your journey. This vehicle is noted to be able to go on the land and into the water too. Isn’t it cool?

This tour will bring you around the city hall area and to the marina bay in the waters. It would be so cool as you will be able to have a look of the merlion, esplanade and even our very first floating stadium from the water.

The tour package would include a tour guide who will explain about the various places that you will go by. Even as a local myself, I learnt a lot on this trip. I enjoyed myself and I am sure you will to.

If you are worried of getting wet (There might be some splashes what the vehicle go in and out the water), fret not, you will be able to purchase raincoats from the counter. However, if you would like to buy it in a less expensive price, you may buy it are carfour in suntec city mall. There is also plastic curtain on the vehicle for you to pull down but, I encourage you not to do so as it will block the view.

Hippo tour is made specially for you! It will bring you to various attraction in the city, heritage areas and even all the way to sentosa. These tours are carried in double story buses that has a roof-less upper story.

I went on the city tour and it brought be around city hall and also to the orchard area. If you are unsure of where you would want to go, I would encouage you to go for the this tour first before you embark in you adventure in singapore. Even as a local, I found out more shopping destinations that I have never been before during the tour.

If you want to learn the culture of singapore, you may want to take the heritage hippo tour that beings you around the heritage sites of singapore including chinatown and kampong glam.

The Sentosa rhino feeder allows you to travel from the city/orchard all the way to sentosa in a fully air conditionaled bus. These bus is equiped with digital screening of videos of singapore in 8 languages.

There is even a night tour (Moonlight Adventure) for you to go on if you want to enjoy the night scenery in singapore

The best thing about these bus rides is that you and board it at many boarding points.

The latest addtion to the tour family would be the Hippo Rive Cruise. Take a ride at the river cruise or a traditional bumboat at night to see some of the Singapore’s iconic such as the Esplanade. You could experience again the original grandeur of old Singapore when cruising down Singapore River with its restored century-old shop houses on the banks. Well, when I can’t afford to go to Venice for a gondola rides, this is what is available in Singapore.

The best thing about this tour is that you can board the bus at various bus boarding points near various hotels.

Let me give you a tip on how to enjoy it all in an economical way. Buy the Singapore Pass at the Visitor centre at the airport or the city area.
