We decided to take an evening boat cruise after dinner before we settled in for the night. The bumboat cruise turned out to be a fantastic experience where we enjoyed not only a history lesson of both Clarke and Boat Quays but also experience the laser lights from the Marina Bay Sands which starts at about 9pm. The tour itself... More

Our tickets for the bumboat ride were included in our 2 day pass for the Hopon/Hop off FunVee bus.

You see the lights from the skyscrapers in the business district, the entertainment spots by the River, the landing site of Stamford Raffles, the Merlion... More
