A tiny island republic of 240 square miles,
Singapore’s importance is far greater than its size
would suggest. The “Lion City,” as its name
literally means, was founded in 1819 by Sir Thomas
Stamford Raffles and is considered one of history’s
great success stories. Modern in every sense of the
word, this metropolis is the cleanest and safest
city in Asia. Experience exquisite restaurants
offering exotic cuisine from all corners of the
earth. Visit Chinatown, Little India, Geylang Serai,
Arab Street or Katong and catch a glimpse of
Singapore’s many-faceted characteristics, with its
multi-ethnic population and myriad cultures.
Singapore is a shopper’s dream come true. Find
bargains galore on a wide variety of merchandise
from clothes to fine jewelry and perfumes to
electronics.
Your three-night package includes accommodations at
some of the choicest hotels in Singapore. Also
offered are several optional tours to acquaint you
with some of the many other sights of this amazing
city.
OPTIONAL TOURS (minimum 2
required)
Breakfast at the Zoo
The Singapore Zoological Gardens is recognized as
one of the world’s most spectacular zoos. The use of
natural barriers like streams, rock walls and
vegetation to separate animals from visitors
enhances the “open” zoo concept. You’ll find more
than 2,000 animals from over 240 species, including
40 endangered species. The zoo’s orangutan breeding
program has created a large community of these
gentle endangered animals. Share breakfast or tea
with an orangutan at the world’s only zoo offering
such a treat. 3.5 hours
Night Safari
This is the world’s first and only night zoo. The
Night Safari holds many surprises, such as looking
into the eyes of a rhinoceros or hearing the howls
of a pack of striped hyenas. There are over 1,200
animals and more than 110 exotic species to watch
out for. The animals are in eight zones that
re-create various geographic regions like the
Southeast Asian rainforest, African savanna,
Nepalese river valley, South American pampas and
Burmese jungle. Strike out on your own along the
walking trail or relax in a tram ride, whichever you
choose. The Night Safari is a wild adventure not to
be missed. 4 hours
Diving with the Sharks
Visit Sentosa Island, which has been elegantly
developed with a wide variety of entertainment
options. Enjoy the thrill of diving into the shark
tank and reef tank at Underwater World Singapore.
Thirty-minute diving sessions are held on Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday. Advance booking is required.
