Singapore - To Do 23Jan22 (Singapore River Cruise)

Singapore River Cruise
450m from Fort Canning MRT Station
Singapore River Cruise Departs from Clarke Quay Jetty
Adults 25SGD
Children >3yrs old 10SGD 
 

Boarding point for the Singapore River Cruise is from the Clarke Quay Jetty. Tickets can be purchased from there or online. Online purchase time slots were filled up but don't fret, there was plenty of space for walk-ins.
A fantastic cruise which last for 40mins and a bit. We opted for 6pm due constraints of children's' nap and dinner time but the views and weather did not disappoint! Some amazing shots during the golden-ish hours to enjoy the central business district and the quays.
*The famous Singapore Cat Statue. Look out for em!*





*The night view has its own unique charm. *
All the boats are electric. As shared by the skipper, after a 24hr charge, yields about 12hrs of ride time. It was really nice to ride on the refurbished bunk boats. Although environmentally friendly and zero noise emissions, a little of that nostalgic charm from the bustling engines and the smells is lost. For that ferry ride experience, one can still catch a ride to Pulau Ubin via the ferries which shuttle visitors to and fro. (Click here for that half day adventure).

The ride was thoroughly enjoyable and offered some of the nicest shots of the Singapore cityscape. Perhaps for a higher adrenaline filled ride, one could consider taking the amphibious vehicles from during the Vietnam War 1975 with Duck Tours. (Click here for more info on that trip here!)
 
Scenic, relaxing and depending time of day, the views are golden. Loads of dining options around the area.
