Very fun place, nice to walk around. The restaurants are quite expensive, but fair price finest offers good deals on meals at their restaurant and bar. Great place to walk around and unwind. The boat cruise at sunset is quite lovely

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A classic Singapore experience that children enjoy for the novelty of seeing the city from the river. The twilight departure delivers the most visually striking journey as the city lights reflect on the water. The hourly schedule gives families flexibility to board at a time that suits their day.

“A very beautiful trip. A good opportunity to admire the beauty of the area, from the water, from a unique angle. For a special charm, try to catch a trip at dusk. It lasts about 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the boat was extremely crowded and you struggle to take decent pictures, in which you don't catch the heads of other tourists.”
