Reviews summaryit’s my first time sitting this ferry even though I am a singaporean myself, honestly during the boat ride, a mixture of emotions ran thru me, I saw how singapore had evolved into such a beautiful city touched me deeply. thank u too our founding father LKY, without u, Singapore 🇸🇬 wouldn’t be possible today! 10 stars 🌟
overall great experience for a first timer. I've been on the cruise before my dad hasn't. it was raining so they followed safety rules first. best to sit on the left & window seat when you enter the boat, you'll get a better view of the merlion.
Had a very good experience on the Singapore River Cruise. It was one of the best ways to enjoy the city views in the evening. Seeing the beautiful skyline, Marina Bay area, and famous landmarks from the water was relaxing and memorable. A nice added touch was the audio commentary during the cruise, which explained the landmarks we were passing and shared interesting historical information about the area. It made the experience even more enjoyable and informative. A simple but worthwhile experience for anyone visiting Singapore. Highly recommended for first-time visitors.
The staff at the counter and in the waiting area were really kind and welcoming, especially to those with kids. They were very helpful. Just a heads up, the instructions say the boat ride is every 15 minutes, but we ended up waiting 30. Luckily, it wasn’t too hot or sunny at 5pm. I reckon the best time to take the boat is from 6.30pm onwards, around sunset.
We chose the evening cruise and the views were wonderful!! The wait was smooth and we were efficiently in two lines. One line was for those with tickets or going to exchange QR codes for tickets. The other line was for bigger organized groups so they had a separate line and a whole boat to themselves. Everything was orderly and efficient!! We managed to catch views of Fullerton hotel, Marina Bay Sands and the CBD banks and buildings all lit up!! Highly recommended for those who want an evening boat ride.
The SG river cruise experience from Klook was fantastic! it was not only more affordable compared to other options, but the redemption process was also straightforward. Highly recommend for relaxing and scenic tour of the city's main attractions, buildings and infrastracture. The english audio was also education. Recommended!
This boat tour was very informative about the history of Singapore and pointed out important landmarks along the way. I’d recommend trying to do this tour at sunset/during the time of the Marina Bay light show.
I enjoyed the river cruise would recommend to take at 5:30 pm you get to see with the daytime and nighttime the ride approximately 40Min you get to see skyscrapers and top attractions by bout I totally enjoyed this and was my last activity before leaving Singapore thanks Klook for smooth and seamless experience many more to go
Better if you ride this river cruise late in the afternoon during sunset and early evening 🌌 I also appreciate the recorded audio tour but it cant be heard when you chose to sit on the open roof of the ship and when you're with noisy tourists 🥲
The Singapore River Cruise was fun! The schedule is every hour and we rode at 2pm. It was nice going around the Merlion Park but I think you can appreciate the view more at night because of the city lights. That would be so lovely and romantic! Nonetheless, the cruise is a must try!
