Overview
The Singapore River has seen 150 years of commercial activity and has been at the heart of the growth of an obscure fishing village to a great seaport and metropolis. A 30-minute ride on a low-slung bum boat enables you to appreciate this transformation. Admire beautifully restored warehouses that now house chic quayside dining and entertainment spots and the contrasting skyscrapers of the Financial District. Then marvel at magnificent colonial buildings and five grand old bridges before circling around the Merlion statue, Singapore's tourism icon. The Bumboat Ride along Singapore River embarks from Parliament House Landing Steps (near Raffles' Landing Site).
Its an unforgetable experience cruising the Sinagpore river by night.... what a spectacular view i have seen.... city lights.... buildings along the singapore river attributed to the life of the river by nite!!!!!! what an awesome scene...plus the bars and restaurants ...whew!!!! Its really a nite to remember!!!!1
Nothing like it was before. Now it is so clean and you can see the scenery. You should definitely go for a ride in the bumboat, although it can be quite hot on some days...
We sailed on the Singapore river on an rainy and humid afternoon of july 2006 It was fun to discover the city , sitting in a litte boat under the rain at 90F. A bit pricy...but who care on holiday.
This is a good experience because you get to see most important stuctures and art from the water. do this first and you'll get more out of a walk along the river. great eateries close by
Worth doing - nice to see the city from the river and an excellent opportunity to take photos. Try it at dusk when there can be nice light in the sky as well as very attractive illumination of streets and major buildings.
