A nice place to drink something and stay quiet

Saw some Otters in the River!! They were having early morning breakfast. A group of over 10 came swimming through and stopped for a chomp or two. It was entertaining to watch.

Keep your distance though, I've heard they can be aggressive.

Oh and of course don't feed them. Keep your spare fish heads for yourself!

One of the best places to be to eat while sitting by the river. The sight looks even better at night.

Singapore river is well maintained and stretches several miles. There are alot of tourist spots to see, restaurants and small parks along the way. Bonus point for me is it has a good track for jogging and maybe for amateur runners do an west to east run.

An excellent way to see the older parts of the city is via one of the reasonably priced boat tours that go up & down. We got ours from Clarke Quay and it went down the river to the marina and back again with a video commentary running to tell you the history and information about the different bits you were passing. You can also walk along the river bank and experience the sights at your own pace.

A really excellent way to roam the city is a boat ride. The river is very clean and we passed so many tourist spots. The boatmen are friendly, entertaining and very informative. It is also convenient because there are many stop points among the way where we can just hop out, but really, the star of the ride is that it also offers an excellent view of the light shows at the river.
