What You Can Expect

Chinese New Year Light-Up Tour

Celebrate Chinese New Year in style! From February 1 to 14, the Chinese New Year Light-Up Tour will depart nightly from the BIG BUS & DUCK Tourist Hub at Suntec City.

Hop on to the fun Big Bus open-top double-decker bus and cruise past iconic landmarks like the Esplanade, Marina Bay, Clifford Pier and Lau Pa Sat, before heading down to Chinatown for the light up. Take a breezy drive down South Bridge Road and Eu Tong Sen Street and capture the beauty of dazzling handmade lanterns and sculptures down South Bridge Road.

What's more, you can choose to end the tour at Chinatown and go for a spot of shopping at the Chinatown street bazaar. Expect to see traditional festive goodies, spring flowers, and ‘deng long’ (traditional paper lanterns). If shopping isn't your thing, you can stay on board and enjoy a breezy drive through past the National Gallery back to Suntec City but not before you take 3 auspicious loops around the Fountain of Wealth for good luck.

The Original Singapore DUCKtours

Climb aboard a refurbished Vietnam War amphibious vehicle for a unique tour of Singapore. Depart from Suntec City, and start your land and water adventure with a big splash into the Marina Bay!

Cruise along Marina Bay, where you can admire views of the bustling urban city's skyline and marvel at Singapore's most iconic landmark—the Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Esplanade Theatre and the towering Merlion.

Your journey continues as you waddle back onto land and drive past the Singapore Flyer and into the Civic District. There you’ll see the steps of the Old Supreme Court where the British surrendered to the Imperial Japanese army during WWII, and the War Memorial Park, a tribute to those who gave their lives during WWII's Japanese occupation.

End the tour with a loop around the world’s largest water fountain at Suntec City, named the Fountain of Wealth, for good luck!
