Delve into the city's rich history and witness the seamless blend of heritage and modernity during this 40-minute ride aboard a re-fashioned bumboat.
Once bustling with commerce, the Singapore River was the lifeline of trade, with godowns lining the quays and traditional bumboats ferrying goods along the Rochor, Kallang, and Singapore rivers from the 19th to the 20th century.
