The Riverside, Singapore - Boat Cruise on the Singapore River

A relaxing way to see sections of Singapore is to take a cruise boat along the Singapore River. Several companies offer these river cruises, using small covered boats including bumboats. Tickets for a ride cost SGD15-30 (USD12-24) depending on the service. Some companies offer a day pass for unlimited rides as a 'hop-on, hop-off' service.

There are several jetty points for boarding including Merlion Park, Fullerton Hotel, Raffles Landing Site, Robertson Quay and Clarke Quay. The cruises last around 40 minutes taking passengers past several major landmarks in Singapore. Scenes include Esplanade Park, Raffles Place, Empress Place Building, Parliament House, Singapore Flyer and Boat Quay.
