    Try it at dusk when there can be nice light in the sky as well as very attractive illumination of Bridges, streets and major buildings like Fullerton hotel and Asian Civilization Museum at Empress Place and etc.....

    Numerous historical buildings on its banks as you cruise along the river.

    You wouldn't be able to imagine long ago that river was packed with bumboats that smelled of rubbers and coolies carrying heavy of of bales rubber on their back making their along the gang-planks





    This is a good experience because you get to see most important structures and art from the water. It is an excellent opportunity to take photos

    Do this first and you'll get more out of a walk along the river!Great eateries close by...! There are almost nine jetties as i counted or maybe it could be more. I suggest you start at the Merlion Park jetty. Visit the Merlion First then take the bum boat cruise. The bum boats depart every 10 to 15 minutes.

    As you aboard onto the bum boat, a recorded narration begins to play. It brings you back into the history of the river and the Historic Buildings along the river banks, as you cruise along the river, it also explain the history of the each bridge as cruise pass it.

    You can see the beautiful Merlion as the bum boat reach the mouth of the Singapore River. The cruise takes about 30 minutes.
