Excursion Gardens by the bay & observation deck at marina bay sands tour at Singapore

Singapore's new icon, a 250-acre (101-hectare) horticultural attraction, certainly seems to be the nation's most beautiful with more than 250 thousand rare plants in huge domed conservatories. Visit Gardens by the Bay and see why it captures the essence of Singapore - the premier tropical Garden City - making Singapore a leading global city of the 21st century.

Gardens by the Bay

Depart the pier for the short drive to the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore's new, iconic, approximately 250-acre (about 101-hectare) horticultural attraction. With more than 250,000 rare plants in huge domed conservatories, the Gardens by the Bay truly captures the essence of Singapore, the 'Garden City'.

Cloud Forest, Flower Dome

Upon arrival, take a guided walking tour through the Cloud Forest, a mysterious world veiled in mist. The approximately 115-foot-high (about 35-metre-high) Crystal Mountain is covered in lush vegetation sourced from tropical highlands, and shrouds the world's tallest indoor waterfall. Stroll by the waterfall meandering through the old forests of conifers and ferns that comprise this unique environment.

Next, step into the Flower Dome, the 2015 Guinness World Record-holder as the world's biggest glass nursery. The Flower Dome replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions, and features towering baobabs, succulent plants, and 1,000-year-old olive trees. During a guided tour of the Flower Dome, marvel at its awesome natural beauty, and spectacular and innovative designs.  

SkyPark Observation Deck

Your final stop is at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Proceed to the 57th-floor, approximately 650-foot-high (about 198-metre) SkyPark Observation Deck to marvel at the spectacular panoramic views and photo opportunities overlooking the city.

Your tour concludes with a short drive back to the pier.
