Singapore Duck tour

3 Temasek Boulevard, Singapore,

Description

The Singapore Duck tours consists in a 60mins city and harbour sightseeing tour aboard an amphibious vehicle. It has been operated in the city for about 20 years and takes customers from Suntec into the Kallang River and past the MBS casino into the Marina Bay area before emerging and going past the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade and the Civic District. The route map can be found here: http://www.singaporeducktours.com/tour.php

Access & Transport

Departure location is: Suntec City, #01-330 Both the Esplanade (Circle) and Esplanade (Circle and Downtown) MRT stations are a short walk away and City Hall MRT (NS and EW lines) is a little further away (800m). There are bus stops along Nicoll Highway ("Suntec City") and Temasek Blvd ("Suntec Convention Ctr"). Plenty of parking capacity in Suntec shopping mall.

Instructions & Recommendations

There are duck + bus combos sold as well.

Meta review

The tours are very well known in Singapore and the main reason to go on them is because of their originality. The reviews are however very mixed and many of them look "cooked" to us... On the positive side, customers point out that it is fun and the guides provide lots of interesting nuggets of info about various buildings on the way. The negative comments relate mostly to the noise level (seems very high), the price Vs tour duration, and to the guides asking for tips at the end (which is a little unusual for Singapore).

Environmental & Social

No data available but it clearly is powered by fossil fuel with the occasional black smoke. Socially neutral

Conclusion

The Duck Tour is a fun and original way to discover the Kallang River / Marina Bay / Civil District area, but it is neither cheap, nor quiet or eco-friendly, so we leave it up to you to decide whether that is something you really fancy.

Key positive

Key negative

Extremely noisy

Very expensive for what it is

Suitability

Suitable for all ages. Not accessible for customers with reduced mobility (steep stairs to board and safety reasons)
