Pre-conference Walking and Boat Tour

The Communication & Media Studies Conference is pleased to offer the following pre-conference Walking and Boat Tour.

Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody, Spectra Light Tour

From the guide: “Discover Singapore’s iconic night attractions on a smooth, well-paced group tour designed for comfort and ease with seamless transfers, and the company of a fun local guide for a truly hassle-free evening.

Meet at Starbucks One Fullerton and we will start with Merlion Park to capture stunning Marina Bay skyline views during golden hour. Continue to Clarke Quay, where riverside walkways and colorful heritage shophouses come alive during sunset. Then, relax on a 30min river boat cruising and gliding past illuminated bridges and the city’s striking mix of old and new. Next, visit Gardens by the Bay to experience the Garden Rhapsody light show at Supertree Grove, followed by the Spectra Water and Light Show at Marina Bay Sands. End your evening with an optional drop-off at Lau Pa Sat to enjoy local late-night eats or straight back to your hotel. Perfect if you are seeking a relaxed, seamless way to experience Singapore at night.”
