The Singapore River has seen 150 years of commercial activity and has been at the heart of the growth of an obscure fishing village to a great seaport and metropolis.
A 30-minute ride on a low-slung bum boat enables you to appreciate this transformation.
The Bumboat Ride along Singapore River embarks from Parliament House Landing Steps (near Raffles' Landing Site).
You get a relaxing view of Merlion Park, Boat Quay, Riverside Point, Grand Copthone Waterfront, Robertson Quay, Liang Court and Raffles Landing Site.
