Easy to book, nice way to spend 40 minutes and learn a little bit of history. However the other people on the cruise were SO loud and inconsiderate. You really had to strain to hear the recording, and many people were standing on the seats despite clear signage saying not to. Staff did not seem too concerned. I would recommend aiming for a boat with fewer people if at all possible. Not bad value for money considering it's Singapore.
staff were welcoming and courteous, gave us umbrellas when it started raining. Cruising was a great way to see different view of Singapore!
We loved the cruise, so informative and relaxing in the heat. Ticketing was difficult, as we had tried to just go to the ticket office on Clarks Quay and no-one open but no information on where we could go to get tickets, or why it was closed. Thanks to the conceige at hotel we got tickets, but when we arrived in taxi once again couldn't find the place. Thanks to our wonderful taxi driver we eventually found the place and had a great time. Very frustrating trying to get tickets and find the place where you board the bum boats.
ticketing was very easy we were able yo just show our code and they found us in their system straight away. The cruise was awesome and well worth it
Thank you guys, the ticketing was a whizz, I booked on the spot and had tickets at the counter almost instantly. I brought my 4 year old twins for the ride for the first Time and they loved the experience. The TV commentary was good, told us the history of boat quay and the financial center's birth place. Overall the experience was fantastic.
The staff were friendly and well organised. The video during the cruise was informative and amazing! A fantastic experience.
Smooth and nice 👍 ❣️💐🙏🎊👏🎉🙏🌹🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Enjoyed the cruise. Did not enjoying having to wait 30 minutes in the heat for the departure time especially when there were ample boats and staff (& passengers) for us to have boarded and left. Felt the wait was at odds with the advertised come any time
There was lot of empty cruise which is ready to go next. But they allowed us to enter on packed cruise. Not able to sit behind and enjoy the ride.
I enjoyed it but would have enjoyed it more if I had of got to see some of the light show from the river, there were big groups that got on to 3 different boats before our queue got on to a boat, if they hadn't of been there then we could have seen the light show. Enjoyed the pre-recorded commentary and the views nonetheless.
For boarding there was a long queue and I had senior citizen who were not comfortable staning for long duration. Provide some sitting arrangement or a separate queue for senior citizens.
No need to buy tickets before mid-April. Nice cruise that allowed us to discover The only thing missing is an international digital translator to make it easier for everyone to understand.

Overall the experience was good . Plz increase the volume of the audio-guide so that it gets audible. With some loud and over talkative guests on board, it just becomes next to difficult to follow the audio guide.
The ticket office struggled to get the scanner to read the QR code. Waited quite a time for boat since they prioritised other queue for groups. Cruise itself was very enjoyable once it got going.
The experience had been recommended to us. Our tickets were emailed to us promptly. We liked the flexibility. We also liked the way the rides were organised. The staff were super friendly. They took some awesome photos to send to our family. We also took some awesome photos of the sights. We found the commentary to be interesting. We would certainly recommend this attraction.
The queue moved rapidly and I was able board at the time that was most desirable for me. Good views from most seats on the boat. Friendly staff. PS: even if you go through the trouble of buying an e-ticket, you still have to have it scanned and exchanged for a paper one at the ticket office!
Admin was easy, trip was pleasant and relaxed. The trip commentary was too quiet, could not make out what was being said.
It was new years eve. The cruise driver was friendly and the river was so clean and beautiful. The lights made the river beautiful and pleasant to look at. Hope to come back again. Happy new year!
Very easy process to book the tickets and then being able to view the tickets without having WiFi was so convenient. Thank you for a wonderful experience for us to take back to Australia 😊
We have probably taken this river cruise ten times in the past five years. It never disappoints. It's so easy to use Headout to get a voucher and grab a ticket.
Ticket was easy and simple, location was easy to find and the trip was relaxing and informative - if there was a comment I was to make would be the volume of the tour operator was too low when sitting outside so i could not hear what was being said.
Historical information, beautiful timber boat
Ease of booking and good info clean ride.
Beautiful evening soaking up the atmosphere as the sun went down and the twinkling lights of the city came on

The venue needed more seating, especially for families waiting for nightfall or people who bought food/drinks at the concession and weren't allowed on the top floor.
Gardens by the Bay is an amazing experience!!! Must visit if you're visiting Singapore, no matter how short your stay is.

The dome with the waterfall was excellent. Lots to see and enjoy. The flower dome was disappointing as it was going through a change of display. Wouldn't have purchased the tickets if we had known.
Originally booked the tickets for 6pm,paid for them ,then later recieved an email saying that time wasn't available.Changed the time to 6:45pm. Got another email Saying ticket times where 6:30pm,when I eventually downloaded the tickets they said 17:00 entry time and there was no option to get a refund or reschedule.We were very lucky that we had thunderstorms that day and the staff very kindly let us use out tickets after it had passed.
The pick hour was not around 5:00 pm while pick hour is around sunset (7:00 pm). Therefore, I think there was a false marketing, otherwise the experience was ok!
The views are amazing, but certainly doesn't require more than 30mins,so tickets are overpriced. And there was no audio guide or even information about landmarks posted around. Expected an experience like that of the Eifel Tower, but this pales in comparison.
Gemini was just updated. See update Conversation with Gemini What did you love about your experience Ticketing with headout in singapore Show drafts As an AI, I haven't personally experienced using Headout in Singapore. However, I can provide you with some of the reasons why many users find Headout to be a great choice for booking tickets and activities in Singapore: Convenience and Ease of Use: User-friendly platform: Headout's website and app are designed to be intuitive and easy to navigate. Wide range of options: They offer a vast selection of tickets to popular attractions, tours, and activities, making it easy to find what you're looking for. Mobile-friendly: Easily book tickets on the go with their mobile app. Competitive Pricing and Deals: Discounted tickets: Headout often offers discounted prices on tickets compared to buying them directly at the attraction. Exclusive deals: They sometimes have special offers and promotions that you won't find elsewhere. Hassle-Free Booking
Very crowded with loads of people sitting along edge of platform hogging a space for ages. Nowhere to have a snack or drink except tiny little bar with no real cocktail options. Dirty seating area. View is amazing though
Breathtaking view from the Skypark and fantastic pictures in the Future exhibition of the Artscience! Headout is quite convenient l, thanks :)
First off, it was easy purchasing the tickets online and no fuss going to the observation deck as long as you show them the proof of the tickets. The view on the observation deck was spectacular and you can see pretty much the whole of Singapore. Nobody rushed us so we were able to take our time admiring the view and taking pictures.
Great views and a lovely evening Great setting and quick access to the roof top Unable to access the cafe which was disappointing Music from the cafe was very loud which blocked out the sound from the light shows Had to fight for access spots due to crowds Staff very pleasant and helpful Drinks were available which was good at a smaller bar Lift amazingly quiet and quick
It was Future world exhibition i liked it its very interactive but i believe kids or family would fit more for this kind of exhibition
The view at night is spectacular! I also appreciate how organised it is and made it easy to get to the top and back down. I wouldn't mind coming here again if I have another chance to visit Singapore.
The gardens are fantastic and well presented. The Monet exhibition was also great. While the light show was quite good the music selection was not contemporary enough. Classical would have been better. Moon River???
Everything was amazing, the organisation and the incredible view. Suffisant place for everyone. Perfect experience Thanks
It was great that we had tickets for Flower dome and Flower Fantasy, museum and Rain Forest. WE really liked that combination. And I would recommend it.
The change from day to night watching the city lighting up. The walk way around the observation deck was great. Stayed for the lights in the Garden by the bay.
The experience was great, views breathtaking. However, it would have been better if we had been allowed to return to the observation deck following our dinner in the restaurant above and the drink at the bar. Especially as the bar was very crowded and the meal was very expensive. It would have been nice to get some nighttime photos from there.
Blick in die Tiefe und Weite - alles bei wechselndem Wetter und Tageszeiten. Blick auf das oberste Geschoß des Hoteltowers mit den Schwimmbeckens auf der 3 Türmen.
Nice attractions but not easy to understand what is what before visiting. So not easy to choose. No detailed explanations of what you can expect to see....
The Gardens by the Bay is well worth a visit and is so easy to get to. The gardens are well maintained and the indoor areas a welcome break from the heat. The whole area is well thought out and provides great views of Singapore
What we saw was great but i feel it should be made more obvious that the Monet experience was within the flower dome. We knew that was closed but didn't realise we wouldn't see Monet either

Hi, this trip with my old friends seem quite okay but we expect some activities and F&B at these 3 islands. However may I suggest a bicycle kiosk near jetty regardless of which islands. As in St.John we wanted to rent but too long distance to the kiosk. Anyway is good for a city escape and off peak relaxation with nice scenery. Best regards Patrick Chia
Good offer and saved money, recommend online bought
I spent a great day on 3 islands close to Singapore. Thank you for taking me there.
Swimming area neat and clean. Awesing with shipping travel good experience

Book NowLocated about 5.6 kilometers from Singapore, Kusu Island is one of the southern islands of the country. Kusu translates to ‘turtle’ or ‘tortoise’ in Chinese, owing to an old legend. The legend goes that a giant tortoise turned itself into an island to save the lives of two shipwrecked sailors. After being rescued, they returned to thank the tortoise., and built a kramat and shrine in its memory. The tranquil landscape and pristine beaches are incredibly popular among visitors, making it the perfect spot for a picnic.
St John’s Island was formerly used as a quarantine center for people suffering from cholera. By 1930, it was a well known screening center for immigrants and pilgrims who were returning from Mecca. Currently, St John’s island is the perfect getaway from the bustling metropolis, owing to its non commercial setting and rustic vibe. It is another perfect spot for a relaxing swim in its beaches or a picnic. The Sisters Island Marine Park Public Gallery and St John’s Island Trial are worth visiting here. Fishing is also a popular activity on the island.
Lazarus Island is connected to St John’s island through a causeway. Originally used as a prison, Lazarus Island was left abandoned when a prisoner escaped from the island. Fires that broke out in 1902 and 1914 burned away all the vegetation, and the island was left mostly unused. Currently, the C-shaped lagoon is renowned for its white and sandy beach and has been called one of Singapore’s best kept secrets. Picnics with our family and friends and swimming are two activities that are a must-try on the island. Lazarus Island is also home to dozens of stray cats that you can play with.
