Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is an island country off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Prior to independence in 1965, Singapore was a vibrant trading port. Observe the rich cultural and historical heritage through the sights and sounds of the bustling ethnic enclaves. Along the streets of China Town, and Little India, religious monuments nestle amidst quaint shop houses. Contrasting with the modern shopping malls, such as the Suntec City, there are serene gardens and sleek skyscrapers. The statue of Singapore's founder, Sir Stamford Raffles proudly stands in front of the Victoria Theatre. Its replica stands at North Boat Quay - colloquially known as Raffles Landing Site, as this is the spot where Raffles is believed to have stepped ashore.

Today visit the Singapore Botanic Gardens and National Orchid Garden. The Botanic Garden is a 156-year- old tropical garden located at the fringe of the Singapore's main shopping belt. It is one of three gardens, and the only tropical garden, to be honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The National Orchid Garden is located on the highest hill in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Providing a place for 60,000 orchid plants - consisting of 1000 species and more than 2,000 hybrids - is the three hectares of carefully landscaped slopes. Returning to the hotel around lunchtime today and lunch is own arrangements.

The rest of the afternoon is at leisure today. Tonight the group will head out to dinner at one of Singapore’s fabulous restaurants.

This morning, after breakfast, you will have some free time to explore Singapore at your leisure and lunch at your own preference. This afternoon the coach will collect you to visit Gardens by the Bay. One of Singapore’s premium tourist attractions this man-made garden is not to be missed when visiting Singapore. Garden’s by the Bay spans 101 hectares and consists of three waterfront gardens – Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden, and Bay Central Garden. Garden’s by the Bay is made up of the following feature gardens: Flower Dome: The Flower Dome replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions and houses a collection of plants from deserts all over the world. Dragonfly & Kingfisher Lakes: These beautiful lakes are a rich source of aquatic life and also act as an eco-filter to cleanse water pumped in from the Marina reservoir. Supertrees: These stunning man-made trees are up to 16 storey buildings tall and can be found all around the Gardens, with 12 at the Supertree Grove.

Day 5 – Saturday 10 August 2019 (B, D) Joo Chiat Walking Tour/MBS Tour/Marina Bay Sands

After breakfast this morning you will enjoy a walking tour of one of Singapore’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Lined with pastel-hued shophouses, traditional eateries and hip boutiques, Joo Chiat is one of Singapore’s most storied neighbourhoods. Once filled with coconut plantations and used as a weekend retreat by wealthy city dwellers, Joo Chiat developed into a laid-back residential suburb by the early 20th century. Much of the district’s colourful charm from its days as a Peranakan (Straits-born people of Chinese and Malay/Indonesian heritage) enclave has been retained, yet fresh tenants have injected a dose of cool into the cobweb of five-foot ways and narrow lanes.

Next, we visit the unique Marina Bay Sands for a guided tour of the hotel and its facilities. Afterwards have some time to enjoy a leisurely drink. Marina Bay Sands skypark really offers a taste of the highlife by viewing Singapore from above. This large wooden decked area on top of the iconic marina Bay Sands Hotel at the edge of the City’s Harbour offers a 360 degree panoramic view, with nothing but a sheet of glass and a few wires between you and the view.

Return to the hotel this afternoon for some leisure time before dinner with the group tonight at your hotel.

Day 6 – Sunday 11 August 2019 (B, D) Merlion Tower/SEA Aquarium/Wings of Time

Breakfast at the hotel followed by free time to relax or shop with own arrangements for lunch. We then make our way to Island - whisked away on the Cable Car, a gondola lift providing an aerial link from on the main island of Singapore to the resort island of Sentosa across the Keppel Harbour. Opened on 15 February 1974, it was the first aerial ropeway system in the world to span a harbour.

Here you’ll visit the South-East Asia Aquarium - a magical marine world with more than 100,000 underwater animals from 800 species, swimming in 45 million litres of water. Over 800 species, swimming in 45 million litres of water - the aquarium comprises 10 zones with 49 habitats. Deepen your knowledge of marine ecosystems by observing aquatic species from the Bay of Bengal, the Straits of Malacca & Andaman Sea and the Great Lakes of East Africa, the underwater community in coral reefs, and cool marine life in the cold- water habitats. This is a truly amazing aquarium with so much to see and do – and the air conditioning is wonderful!

The Tiger Sky Tower is our next visit for where you will ascend 50 floors while taking in the amazing views out over Singapore and as far as Malaysia and Indonesia.

Dinner tonight will be at a local restaurant in Sentosa and then later head for the Wings of Time, Singapore’s multi-sensory extravaganza, to watch a world-class water show comprising dramatic effects, water jets, lasers, burst of fire and foot-tapping music set in the sea. Wings of Time promises to inspire, captivate and take you to a magical world where imagination takes flight. Be transported into the enchanted world of story of fantastic journey through time and space featuring larger backdrop with robotic fountains, 3D video mapping and enhanced pyrotechnic effects.

This afternoon visit the Landing Point at the Fullerton Bay Hotel for High Tea. Sit back and enjoy the panoramic sweep of the waterfront whilst afternoon tea is served. The variety of food offered and the setting will blow your mind. If you prefer a cocktail the resident mixologist at the bar will be happy to help.

Leaving behind the Fullerton the coach will take you to Chinatown. Singapore’s historic Chinatown is a bustling mix of old and new. Filled with traditional shops and market and modern stores and cafes it’s very popular on Friday nights with locals and expats who come here for dinner or drinks at one of the trendy bars. Want to shop? Buy souvenirs in Pagoda Street or traditional Chinese medicine in South Bridge Road. Visit a Hindu temple or a mosque or check out a family-run goldsmith or teahouse.
