Singapore Orientation Tour

Time: 09:00–13:00
Fee: Registered Guests: Included with Guest Registration
Professionals and Others: US $35
Includes: Air-conditioned transportation, English-speaking guide and admission to National Orchid Garden

This orientation tour allows you to become acquainted with Singapore, starting the morning at the National Orchid Garden. Located within Singapore Botanic Gardens, it boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 orchid plants.

From there, we will enjoy a drive along Orchard Road, Singapore’s main shopping and lifestyle belt.

We will explore the city by driving around the Civic District, passing by the Padang, Cricket Club, historic Parliament House, Supreme Court and City Hall.

Later, visit the Malay precinct of Kampong Glam and have an enjoyable walk around the conservation area. Once the historic seat of Malay royalty in Singapore, it is a golden ethnic enclave and is worth exploring for its depth in architecture and palatable pleasures.

We next head to Little India, the focal point of Singapore’s Indian community. Its spice-scented streets beckon you to a cornucopia of ethnic jewelry, jasmine garlands and silk saris. Our final stop will be at Chinatown. See roadside peddlers and turn-of-the-century shophouses, temples and mosques alongside modern shopping centers and offices.

Raffles Hotel is the next stop, where hives of activities were held for the high society in the 1800s. Here you will enjoy light refreshments. Board a Bumboat and cruise along the historic Singapore River. Disembark at Clarke Quay, a riverside festival village, where you will visit a pewter gallery.

Morning at the Zoo

The Singapore Zoo is spread over 69 acres and is a haven to over 3,600 mammals, birds and reptiles — including some rare and endangered species. Natural barriers like streams, rock walls and beautiful landscaping are used to separate the animals from visitors thus creating an “open zoo” effect. Experience this new concept in animal keeping from the comfort of your tram or on foot.
