Ticket Price: SGD120/USD96 per person. Enjoy a scenic ride along the river that holds so much history and memories for Singapore.

Quite relaxing, especially after sunset. Just sit back and absorb the cool breeze. Brightly light sky-scrappers that tower over the river, historical monuments regally positioned, adding grandeur and age-old charm to the area and of course, the beautiful evening sky sprinkled with stars. There are many bridges in Singapore and the river taxi ride is a good way to see the bridges.

You will also be able to have a good view of the Merlion Park (and understand why it is so popular with tourists), as well as the beautiful sights of the Fullerton and Clark Quay, before disembarking at the waterfront promenade in Robertson Quay. For those who decide to skip the river taxi ride, specially arranged buses will take you straight to the Copthorne Waterfront Hotel.
After dinner, there will be a bus service that returns to SUNTEC Singapore, APMC2009 conference venue. Those staying at the APMC2009 conference hotels should find this service convenient as the hotels are only a short walk away from SUNTEC Singapore. SUNTEC Singapore
