By Mike Oxlong

Have you ever wondered what it’s like being a tourist in Singapore? Or what kind of views tourists see in Singapore that make them keep coming back? Although COVID-19 has restricted our travel plans to other countries, it does not restrict your plans in our own country! Join us in celebrating Singapore’s upcoming 57th birthday by going to the Scenic River Cruise and Gardens By the Bay 1 Day Tour!

A Scenery Like No Other

Just imagine being on a boat, feeling the fresh cool breeze, as your eyes take in the wonderful, colourful views of buildings. You may think that you know everything in Singapore and have seen every type of structure in Singapore since you have lived here for your entire life. But, I’m here to prove you wrong. On the Scenic River Cruise, you will be on a boat; not just any boat; a traditional bumboat! View the entire city with your own eyes and pass by our city’s iconic buildings! The Supreme Court, Marina Bay Sands, Esplanade and more during the 40-minute boat ride! Smell the air of the river and take in the scenery. Calm your nerves and relax as we take you on a ride! 

Become One with Nature

Other than the wonderful Scenic River Cruise, you will head to the Gardens by the Bay’s Flower Dome. Now, it may sound boring since you may think that all you do there is look at flowers and what not. But did you know that there is an indoor waterfall there too? The Flower Dome has many types of floras like Tulips, Calla Lilies, Orchids and more for you to admire and discover! Take multiple pictures and selfies near the wonderful looking and great smelling flowers. Take pictures with the interesting sculptures placed almost everywhere in the Flower Dome! Admire the cooling waterfall in the place too! Best of all, the Flower Dome is air-conditioned, so you do not have to worry about the hot Singapore weather at all while you enjoy your time there! After which, end the tour with a scrumptious meal at a local seafood restaurant. Think fishes, crabs, and lobster. After a tiring day of roaming around the Flower Dome, the seafood will definitely get you to feel heaven through your tastebuds and happiness through your filled stomach!

More than Scenery and Nature

Without a doubt, going to the Scenic River Cruise and Gardens by the Bay 1 Day tour will definitely be a meaningful and memorable trip! See Singapore in a new light as you admire the buildings’ structure of the city from the boat. Gain respect for the architects that designed the buildings! If you’re a student, this could spark a light in you and inspire you to become an architect in Singapore to design very unique buildings that are only found in Singapore and nowhere else! If you’re not a student, just appreciate the beautiful scenery and relieve your stress about work and relax during the tour. You will definitely be more energised to work or do anything the next day. Roaming around the Flower Dome allows you to gain knowledge of flowers you’ve never seen before! Experience the euphoria of being in a flower garden and smell the wonderful scent emitted by the plants! For plant lovers, bring along your botanic books and mark down the pages of plants you see! There are many more things you can gain from here, why not head on over and experience it all yourself? Feel like a tourist for one day!
