Sampan Rides will be unavailable from 25 – 27 Jan for the Chinese New Year Light-Up preparations.
SAMPAN RIDES
Enjoy a leisurely sail through Singapore’s colourful past to its glittering present in the heart of Marina Bay Sands. Hop onto a beautifully crafted Sampan boat, inspired by the small wooden skiffs that once filled the Singapore River at the height of its trading activity. Simply relax as you’re gently paddled down the Canal by our very own Sampan rowers.
Make a wish as you circle the Rain Oculus, an eco-friendly art installation comprising a 22m-wide acrylic bowl that collects the rainwater that fills the Canal. Or feel the rush with a close-up view of the hourly water cascade — an impressive 22,000 litres of water are released per minute from a skylight two storeys overhead.
Explore our tours where you can learn more about our design and sustainability features, or join in for some musical fun on the water.
