Singapore by Night: River Bumboat, Spectra Show and Garden Rhapsody

Singapore is at its best after dark, and this guided evening strings together three of its classic night sights. After hotel pickup you board a traditional bumboat for a cruise of about 30 minutes along the Singapore River, past the godowns of Clarke Quay, the restaurants of Boat Quay and out into Marina Bay, where the skyline glows on the water.

On the bay’s promenade at Marina Bay Sands you watch Spectra, a free outdoor show of lights, lasers and dancing fountains set to music. The evening ends among the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay for Garden Rhapsody, when the giant steel ‘trees’ pulse with light and sound above you. Your guide handles the timing, so you don’t have to rush between shows.
