Day 1: Singapore Arrival
Arrive in Singapore and meet your guide at the airport who will escort you to your hotel, the gorgeous Marina Bay Sands. Later in the evening, enjoy dinner at a restaurant helmed by a celebrity chef and get a special opportunity to meet the chef himself. The evening is capped off with the spectacular symphony of music, water and light known as Spectra.
Day 2: Singapore Experience
Start the day with a visit to the famed Botanical Gardens. This 150-year old garden is the country’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the National Orchid Garden, which boasts the world’s largest orchid display with over 60,000 plants and orchids, before heading for the city’s mall district.
Drive along Orchard Road, a golden mile of shopping which was once lined with nutmeg and pepper plantations. Now Asia’s most famous retail destination, malls, restaurants, cafes and bars offer world-class shopping dining and entertainment 365 days a year.
Next, head to Little India where you will be greeted by myriad colours and aromas the moment you arrive. Be dazzled by the colourful saris, jewellery, silverware and brassware on display in this bustling district, and enjoy the scent of spices and jasmine flower garlands as you wind your way through the streets.
Your tour continues to the colonial civic district which brings you back to the time of the British Empire. This area forms the very heart of Singapore, with neo-Palladian buildings lining the banks of the Singapore River, including the former Parliament House, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, the old Supreme Court Building and St Andrew’s Cathedral. You will also see the Padang’s most important building, the City Hall, site of many pivotal moments in Singapore’s history, such as the surrender of the Japanese forces in 1945.
The tour pauses at the mouth of the Singapore River for a photo opportunity with the Merlion, a mythical creature, part lion and part fish, set against the backdrop of the city’s financial district. The morning’s last stop is in Chinatown. Walk along the narrow streets passing by golds traders, traditional Chinese medical halls, calligraphy masters at work, and traditional tea and coffee houses where you will have a chance to sample these traditionally brewed beverages.
Spend the afternoon at your leisure and enjoy the comforts of your hotel or relax by the famous Marina Sands Infinity Pool. In the evening, meet your guide for a boat ride to Clarke Quay where you will enjoy a special chilli crab dinner.
Day 3: Singapore / Sentosa Island
Visit Gardens by the Bay which brings to life Singapore’s vision of creating a “City in a Garden.” Visit the iconic tree-like vertical gardens and Supertree Grove, designed with large canopies that provide shade in the day and come alive with special effects of light and sound at night.
Next, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Flower Dome and immerse yourself in a world of perpetual spring. Replicating the cool and dry Mediterranean climate, the Flower Dome showcases exotic plants from five continents in nine different gardens.
Next explore Cloud Forest, which showcases plant life from tropical highlands up to 2,000 metres above sea level. Marvel at the 35-metre tall indoor waterfall and stroll above the jungle canopy via aerial walkways.
In the afternoon, escape to the tranquillity of The Capella, an exclusive resort on Sentosa Island offering guests a unique and luxurious stay. Enjoy a complimentary welcome bottle of wine in your room and afternoon tea for two at the hotel. In the evening, experience a thrilling yet intimate dinner for two while suspended high above the island in a cable-car.
