A must-do in Singapore! The cruise offered beautiful photo opportunities along Boat Quay and the Merlion. I learned a lot about the city’s history from the audio guide. Everything was well-organized, and the boat staff were friendly. It’s a short trip but absolutely worth it

Night view is amazing. Just little bit upset because I need 30 minutes to get official ticket through this platform. If you want to use this platform, just order the day before you depart. It will be more convenient.

A fun way to see Singapore's cityscape from both land and water! Great tour guide who was very informative not only about the sights we saw but Singapore's history as well. Land ride somewhat bumpy; I would caution pregnant women & those with back problems

Review of Singapore Ducktours Singapore Ducktours offers a uniquely fun and informative way to see the city. The transition from road to river is an exhilarating highlight that both kids and adults adore. History: This unique concept utilizes the DUKW, an amphibious vehicle originally designed for World War II. After their military service, these robust "ducks" were repurposed for tourism, allowing Singapore Ducktours to launch its memorable land-and-water journeys, giving visitors a historic vessel for a modern-day adventure. Scenery on the Way: The tour seamlessly blends city sights with coastal serenity. On land, you pass by the iconic Suntec City and the towering Marina Bay Sands. The thrilling splashdown into the bay then rewards you with stunning, unobstructed views of the city skyline, the Merlion, and the artistic structures of the Esplanade, all from the unique perspective of the water.

Sights Covered

Kusu Island

Kusu Island

Located about 5.6 kilometers from Singapore, Kusu Island is one of the southern islands of the country. Kusu translates to ‘turtle’ or ‘tortoise’ in Chinese, owing to an old legend. The legend goes that a giant tortoise turned itself into an island to save the lives of two shipwrecked sailors. After being rescued, they returned to thank the tortoise., and built a kramat and shrine in its memory. The tranquil landscape and pristine beaches are incredibly popular among visitors, making it the perfect spot for a picnic.

St. John's Island

St John’s Island

St John’s Island was formerly used as a quarantine center for people suffering from cholera. By 1930, it was a well known screening center for immigrants and pilgrims who were returning from Mecca. Currently, St John’s island is the perfect getaway from the bustling metropolis, owing to its non commercial setting and rustic vibe. It is another perfect spot for a relaxing swim in its beaches or a picnic. The Sisters Island Marine Park Public Gallery and St John’s Island Trial are worth visiting here. Fishing is also a popular activity on the island.

Lazarus Island

Lazarus Island

Lazarus Island is connected to St John’s island through a causeway. Originally used as a prison, Lazarus Island was left abandoned when a prisoner escaped from the island. Fires that broke out in 1902 and 1914 burned away all the vegetation, and the island was left mostly unused. Currently, the C-shaped lagoon is renowned for its white and sandy beach and has been called one of Singapore’s best kept secrets. Picnics with our family and friends and swimming are two activities that are a must-try on the island. Lazarus Island is also home to dozens of stray cats that you can play with.
