Singapore Tours

Stepping into Singapore’s cityscape is a sensual overload — and there’s no better way to explore than with our four-day Essential Singapore Tour. By day, the hustle and bustle of the malls and winding streets pair perfectly with the rich aroma of smells emanating from local eateries.

The diamond shape of the main Singapore Island is an effective metaphor for the glamour and elegance of its architecture.

Its surreal, futuristic high-rises create one of the most recognisable skylines in the world. And, while the views from many of these glassy towers are far-reaching by day — particularly from the Tiger Sky Tower — it is at night when the city truly sparkles.

Marina Bay Sands, meanwhile, is comprised of three enormous towers. This iconic hotel dominates the utopian skyline and, as night falls, its shining beacons and glass windows reflect like a diamond onto the water below.

Singapore is made up of 64 islands of varying sizes and stories – which means you’ll have a huge choice of stunning beaches. So if you fancy some downtime on your Singapore tour, head to one of the beaches during your leisure time. Some stretches are reserved for hotel guests, while other long expanses of sands are dotted with loungers for sunbathing and bars for sipping.

Of course, you can simply laze in the sun and occasionally dip into the gently lapping sea. But Singapore’s beaches offer a range of exciting watersports, if you want to try something a little more exciting. Those jet skis aren’t going to ride themselves, and banana-boating is as fun as it looks.

While most visitors often make a beeline for the mainland, it would be a mistake to forget about Sentosa Island. An idyllic resort off Singapore’s southern coast, this place is connect to the mainland by road, cable car and monorail – so getting there is a piece of cake. With jaw-dropping panoramic views, the high-flying cable car is both a feat of engineering and a perfect opportunity to admire Singapore from above.

And for fun and games, Sentosa is rarely matched. Whether you’re travelling with big kids, small kids, or no kids at all – you’re guaranteed a fun day out here. You can ride rollercoasters at Universal Studios Singapore, see your favourites celebs in Madame Tussauds, or splash about at Adventure Cove Waterpark.

With so much greenery, it’s hardly surprising that Singapore has lots of animal-watching opportunities. The first logical stop, naturally, is Singapore Zoo. And why not? It’s one of the best in the world and was one of the first open-concept zoos – so the animals here aren’t caged. You can see more than 2,500 species, ranging from elephants to penguins.

It’s true that Singapore comes alive at night — and there’s proof in the zoo’s famous Night Safari. At the world’s first nocturnal zoo, you can get up close and personal with the animals, who are much more active when it’s cooler at night. You can look forward to a nature-driven experience, which is truly unique to Singapore.

And there’s more. The glistening waters and kaleidoscope of coral reefs are home to all sorts of marine life. Many of the smaller islands offer their own taste of the underwater worlds here. So grab a snorkel and dive right in.
