This morning, explore the city by driving round the Civic District, passing by the Padang, Cricket Club, historic Parliament House, Supreme Court, and City Hall. Stop at Merlion Park and enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay. Do not miss out on this picture-taking opportunity with The Merlion, a mythological creature that is a part lion and part fish. Next, proceed to Singapore’s historic Chinatown - a bustling mix of old and new, filled with traditional shops and markets as well as trendy stores and cafes. Visit the iconic Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum and be amazed by the temple’s richly designed interiors and comprehensive exhibits on Buddhist art and history dating back to over hundreds of years old.

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. Savor an authentic dim sum lunch, a style of Chinese cuisine prepared as small bite-sized portions of food served in small steamer baskets or on small plates with some other main dishes. After lunch, Cruise down the Singapore River in a traditional bumboat to see the legacy of Singapore's history! This is the best way to see the pivotal role the river played in Singapore's history as a port town. The cruise passes godowns and old shophouses, that now stands as a silent reminder of its humble past. Glide along old colonial buildings contrasted with imposing modern skyscrapers.

Next, visit Sands Sky Park, an awe-inspiring engineering wonder. This unique structural masterpiece, sits atop the three soaring towers of Marina Bay Sands hotel, 200m in the sky. Stretching longer than the Eiffel Tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo jets, the Sands Sky Park offers an unforgettable panoramic view of the city. Then walk over to explore Gardens by the Bay! Enter a world of perpetual spring, where unique plants bloom in an ever-changing display of flowers. Discover plants from the Mediterranean and semi-arid subtropical regions. Step into the Flower Dome and stand in awe of the spectacular and innovative glass greenhouse which homes unique plants like the Baobab trees, the Madagascar Ghost Tree, and the 1000-year-old Olive tree! The Flower Field caters for a changing display of vibrant plants and blooms. Finally, enter the Cloud Forest, a mysterious world veiled in mist, entirely different from the Flower Dome. A 35-meter tall mountain covered in lush vegetation shrouding the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. See a showcase of plant life from the highlands of up to 2,000-metres above sea level. Wind down after a day of experiencing more of Singapore's wonders during your 4:00PM transfer back to your accommodation. (This service is on a private basis.)

Come face to face with over 200 sharks and uncover the centuries of myths about the sea predators.

Next, enjoy the most thrilling and unique Singapore attraction- the Skyline Luge. A gravity-fueled ride that provides riders full control over their descent on purpose-built tracks. Jump aboard the Skyride for a scenic adventure on a 4-seater chairlift that gives a bird's eye view of the Singapore skyline and the South China Sea. While engrossed in the natural habitat of Sentosa Island, look out for the cheeky cockatoos that often entertain guests. Then head to the 4D Adventure Land! Watch the immersive 4-D movie, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, The 4-D Experience. Hang on tight while riding on a virtual 4-D roller coaster on the Extreme Log Ride.
