The Singapore River is a small river in Singapore with great historical importance. This is the place where Raffles landed and made as the number one trading port in Singapore. It was the lifeline of Singapore where our first immigrants eked out a meagre living and saw Singapore transform from an obscure little fishing village to a great seaport. This river runs along Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay. Many will remember it was filled with twakows, tongkangs and stevedores and the stench from the flotsam and jetsam on the river, it has been given a new lease of life since efforts to clean it up started in the late 1970s. The river today is now part of the Marina Reservoir after damming the Singapore River at its outlet to the sea to create a new reservoir of freshwater.
Basic Tour is for visitors with time constraint, the 30 minutes tour is the best way to catch a glimpse of the surrounding sights and scenes along the river.
