Singapore River Bumboat cruise

This river Bumboat cruise is very popular with local school excursion (here my daughter was boarding as part of the school excursion) as well as foreign tourists.

Once the working lifeline of the port of Singapore and a dirty, unsightly waterway, the Singapore River today is clean and pleasant. It’s a 45 minute ride and a great value to relax and see the surrounding scenic path through the central city to Marina Bay.
