Nocturnal Explorations

• print

by Let's Go Tour Singapore

Visitors will be taken on a whirlwind two-hour bicycle tour as the sun sets. About eight main areas and attractions will be covered, including Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer (and the Formula One racetrack), Marina Barrage, Singapore River, Gardens by the Bay, Boat Quay (along with the Esplanade, The Merlion, The Fullerton Hotel, and Raffles Place), The Civic District, and the National Stadium. The tour takes place daily (from 7pm to 9pm; maximum group size of seven) and prices start from S$79 per pax (discounted rate of S$60 per pax for two persons or more). Prices are inclusive of local guide, bicycle rental, safety gear, water, ponchos, dinner, and drinks.

The tour is conducted in English and even though it is a relatively easy ride, with 90% of routes on bike paths, this activity requires tourists to be physically fit enough to cycle for two whole hours. Kids can participate as long as they know how to ride a compact city bicycle (like Brompton, Bike Friday, Dahon, and Tern, for example), but for safety reasons, children below 1.4m are not permitted to join the tour.
