Singapore tours

1 – Fall in love with a floral wonderland: Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay, Singapore

Glass domes, forestry of blooms, waterfalls and walkways across canopies of trees, the whimsical Gardens by the Bay is made for lovers!

Singapore’s most recognized landmark is divided into green outdoor spaces (like the Kingfisher Wetlands) and indoor gardens.

Discover one of the tallest indoor waterfalls inside the iconic Cloud Forest, strolling across an elevated zigzagging walkway of exotic plants.

The resplendent Flower Dome lures you in with themed floral arrangements, and easily imagine fairies playing inside the four gardens of Floral Fantasy.

From near and far (and splattered across just about every advertisement for Singapore), see the purple and green structures of the Supertree Observatory, and the 22-meter OCBC Skywalk runs through the vertical gardens.

Gardens by the Bay tickets

Hot tip: Experience the magical Garden Rhapsody show at Gardens by the Bay, a highlight among things to do in Singapore at night, where the Supertree Grove comes alive with lights and music.

2 – See the city from a different perspective on a river boat tour

river boat tour in Singapore

Hands hold tight, let the world pass you by as you sail along the Singapore River wrapped in your darling’s arms.

Hop on board a 20th-century traditional wooden tongkang boat, sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of life passing you by during a relaxing yet insightful riverboat tour.

Chugging along the water, cruise past some of the city’s most famous landmarks, like Marina Bay Sands, Raffles’ Landing Site and the Singapore Flyer.

Daytime river cruises typically last 40 minutes and are really affordable. However, if your hearts are set on seeing the city under its twinkling metropolis of lights, there is a nighttime option instead.

Got any questions along the way? Whether it’s about the city’s history or one of its more modern attractions, there’s onboard English commentary the whole way guiding you.

3 – Dine at celeb restaurants at Marina Bay Sands

The epitome of luxury, feel like a world-class celebrity at Marina Bay Sands!

Is it a plane? A boat? A train in the clouds? Why, it’s the SkyPark Observation Deck! This icon of Singapore is an architectural masterpiece built across three individual towers. The city panoramas from here are next-level — literally!

Mandatory to enter the viewpoint, grab your Marina Bay Sands Skypark tickets beforehand. Couples, consider the dreamy ‘Sunset in the Sky’ option, toppled with champagne and handcraft gourmet choccies.

A world of celebrity chefing awaits you, from Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen to Cut by Wolfgang Puck. Or make like Beckham and dine at two Michelin-star Waku Ghin by Tetsuya Wakuda.

Then, take your pick of fanciful bars to unwind into the night. Sip on cocktails with a view at CÉ LA VI SkyBar & Club, or knock back the finest selection of American whiskeys at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar (overseeing Marina Bay).

From New York to Singapore, don your red lips and dancing shoes and finish off the evening in style at Marquee!

4 – Let the sounds of music fill your soul with romantic candlelight concert

candlelight concert in Singapore

Picture this: a room dazzled with hundreds of warm flickering candles and the sweet sounds of a dramatic orchestra filling the air … We’re talking about hypnotic candlelight concerts, of course!

Unlike any live gig you’ve seen before, these special concerts are super intimate and the venues carefully chosen — this is what sets the show apart!

Sing along to “Yellow,” “A Sky Full of Stars” and all your other favorite Coldplay songs at CHIJMES, performed on piano. Also held here are ‘Magical Movie Soundtracks’ (cue the Disney classics) and the ‘Best of Anime Soundtracks’ candlelight concerts.

Revel in the sounds of Joe Hisaishi at The Arts House (or be overcome by goosebumps with a ‘Candlelight Orchestra: A Tribute to Joe Hisaishi’ at the Victoria Theatre instead), and also showing at The Arts House is K-Pop Music on Strings!

5 – Frolic in the calm waters around Sentosa’s beaches

Sentosa beach

One of the biggest reasons why tourists flock to paradisiacal Sentosa Island is because of its three gorgeous beaches — arguably, the best in Singapore!

Feel like Johnny, Orlando or Keira straight out of the Pirates of the Caribbean at Palawan Beach!

Or if you’re not the biggest sunbather, get your water sporting on at Siloso Beach (also home to a string of fab dining spots).

Tanjong Beach is the quietest of the three, and couples favor it for its peaceful vibes. Or, did you know that there’s a hidden beach on Sentosa: Tanjong Rimau?

But Sentosa isn’t the only destination for a beach day in Singapore, with more options in other parts.

Changi Beach (in front of Changi Beach Park) is a favorite with locals; Punggol Beach with its black boulders has tons of pretty rock pools, or pick up a kayak and explore East Coast Beach, which is surprisingly manmade!

6 – Chase colors of the rainbow in the Orchid Garden

Orchid Garden, Singapore

Flowers are always a romantic idea … especially when you’re enveloped by over 3,000 types of Orchidaceae!

Home to 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids, you’ll want your cameras close on hand for the stunning National Orchid Garden!

Founded in 1859, its impressive collection is owed in part to the Botanical Garden’s breeding program (started in 1928). Personalized and ‘hand-crafted,’ its visitors are mind-blown by the orchid displays and varieties time and time again.

Designed to replicate a montane forest, spot rare lady’s slipper orchids and boat orchids inside the Sembcorp Cool House.

To see the award-winners (like Dendrobiums and Vandaceous orchids), amble through the Tan Hoon Siang Mist House. The Tropical Montane Orchidetum showcases orchids and other plants, for example, magnolias and the Yuen Peng McNeice Bromeliad Collection is dedicated to neotropical plants.

Located on the fifth floor of Jewel Changi Airport, this indoor garden playground mimics a massive greenhouse vibe.

As a waterfall opens from a hole in the glass roof, prepare to be mesmerized, and release your inner child on the playful attractions. But first, breathe it all in from the elevated 23-meter-high Canopy Bridge built above the park.

The sculptural Discovery Slides also double as another view deck; cool off in the (artificial) clouds on Foggy Bowls’ grass greens; and get lost inside a reflecting labyrinth at the Mirror Maze.

Flower child, seasonal floral displays await you inside the Petal Garden and let your imaginations run free on the Topiary Walk where animal structures are crafted completely out of blooms!

Ever heard of (miracle) Tiger Balm?

An outdoor museum with a twist, it’s time to step into the hallows of hell at Haw Par Villa, which is actually a cultural theme park!

The villa was built in 1935 by the inventor of the herbal ointment, Aw Boon Haw, and was formerly known as the ‘Tiger Balm Garden.’ Inspired by Chinese folklore, the setup depicts the Ten Courts of Hell through 1,000 sculptures, mini figurines and dioramas.

Step into the afterlife through series of scenes from Chinese history, literature, folklore and legends. Join a tour, like ones through the villa at twilight, or pick a DIY trail where you don’t need a guide, like the Zodiac Hunt!

Already with dreamy connotations, there are two options for it in Singapore, hosted annually.

You’ve got quite a few options for the sunset expedition. The standard dinner is a four-course, but you can upgrade this to dinner served with alcohol pairings, like wine, whiskey, gin or mixed beverages. Or, if you’re big fans of tasting menus, upgrade to a seven-course extravaganza instead.

A fireworks display and live entertainment brighten moods even more!

There’s also a City Lights Cruise, but this doesn’t include dinner and is more of a sightseeing vibe, witnessing Singapore and its landmarks under the nightly glow.

Add on extras such as VIP early boarding with canapés, flowers to the table (thank us later), gifts or a special guided tour, including a ‘take the helm’ and ‘mast climb’ options.

Is the ocean your happy place? Take a break from Singapore’s well-developed infrastructure and fast-moving city center crowds and revel in a day of island-hopping around its neighbors. Don’t forget, the Lion City is an island.

A favorite day trip from Singapore is to the four Southern Islands: Kusa Island, St. John’s Island, Lazarus Island and the Sisters’ Islands — but there are eight comprising this collection. Snorkeling around the Southern Islands is incredible!

(The others are Pulau Seringat, Pulau Tekukor, and Sentosa, and it’s good to know the Sisters’ Islands are technically two islets: Big Sister’s Island and Small Sister’s Island.)

Then, on the north-east coast, there’s easy-to-reach Pulau Ubin (via a 15-minute boat ride). Go hiking, biking, swimming at the beach, walking through wetlands and drinking in the views of its Blue Lake.

54 – Enjoy a seafood extravaganza onboard the special Smith Marine Floating Restaurant

For lovers in search of a dinner date with a difference, a seven-course seafood feast on a floating ocean restaurant is unparalleled.

Have you heard of a kelong before? These traditional water platforms are popular in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, and are typically utilized as fish farms.

Smith Marine Floating Restaurant started as a fish farm in 2006, but from 2014, transformed the kelong into the city’s first floating restaurant, giving it a bit of a modern facelift.

With a menu comprising the freshest seafood, expect the likes of deep-fried lobster, Hong Kong-style steamed fish, chili crab, steamed garlic scallops, mussel sambal, stir-fried veg and vermicelli noodles with clams (subject to change).

If that’s not enough of a feast, upgrade to a nine or ten-course!

(Glamping = glamorous camping)

Swapping standard hotel rooms for a luxury tent setup, Glamping City has five separate locations around Singapore (Jewel, T3, Sentosa, Orchid Country Club or the Swiss Country Club).

Forget about sleeping bags on the floor! Cozy up inside a classic white-canvas tent or one with a rounded dome roof (depending on your location), with carpets, lights, electricity and a double bed inside.

Everything is super comfortable: you’ve got a bedside table, reading lamps, poufs and even indoor plants decorating the space.

P.S. If this holiday is finally the one, check out their ‘Proposal Package,’ where the team organizes and sets up a ‘Marry Me’ light-sign, heart balloons, a fairy light pathway and floral decor for when you two lovebirds arrive!
