River

Boat Quay
Boat Quay in Singapore, with the towers of the financial district behind.

At Clarke Quay, and further down at the Raffles Landing monument, you can book a tour of the Singapore River by what are still referred to as 'river taxis' even though they now only ply a fixed route for tourists. The tour will take you down the river and into the harbor, past the Boat Quay and Merlion statue.

A recorded monologue provides background on each of the sights passed. The tour takes less than one hour and costs S$12.60.
