- Day 2
- Friday 3 July 2026
After taking our time with the famous multicultural Parkroyal Collection Pickering smorgasbord of breakfasts, our adventure begins at the stunning Gardens by the Bay.
You’ll be amazed by this visionary 250 acre, $1 billion project. It brings to life the government’s ambition to make Singapore a ‘City in a Garden’. Housed within the gardens are cooled conservatories, individual themed gardens, lakes, bridges and the showpiece: Supertrees, plant covered structures up to 50m tall. From the OCBC Skyway, a walkway that connects two 50m tall Supertrees, we will get a good overview of the extent of the project. Then onto the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest.
Explore vast horticultural worlds growing in gigantic biomes, engineering feats in themselves, being the biggest column-less glasshouses in the world. It’s eternally spring in the Flower Dome, with plant displays from dry climates found in South Africa, California, southern Spain, Italy, and southwestern Australia.
We will enjoy the cool rush of a waterfall within the Cloud Forest and discover plumes of tropical flowers such as vireya, begonia and medinilla spilling out of the verdant mountain crevices.
An absolute treat this afternoon – High Tea at the famous Raffles Hotel
Accommodation: Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore

- Saturday 4 July 2026
Today’s highlight is the UNESCO listed Singapore Botanic Gardens. The tropical rainforest here is one of the few pockets of original jungle left on the island. There are some 300 plant species in this little pocket of forest and plenty of microbats, birds, including oriental pied hornbills, spotted wood owls, crimson sunbirds and stork-billed kingfishers.
Singapore is famous for orchids and the National Orchid Garden is situated on the highest hill in the Botanic Gardens. Orchids have been a part of the Gardens collection since its beginnings in 1859. Early directors commissioned extensive orchid collecting expeditions and since 1995 the collection has its own beautifully landscaped home – the National Orchid Garden. We’ll have lunch at one of the loveliest restaurants surrounded by the orchid and heliconia gardens.
Afternoon at leisure until it cools a little, when we’ll jump onto a bumboat for a cruise along the Singapore River. These hardy vessels were once used to shuttle cargo in one of the East’s busiest trade centres. We’ll be delivered into the middle of the vibrant modern skyline of Singapore. You’ll discover the restaurant strip with fantastic options for dinner whilst sampling the cuisine Singapore is famous for at leisure this evening.

Across the road the National Museum of Singapore is next, paying homage to Singapore’s history, culture and geography. The grand neoclassic 19th century building was once Raffles’ museum and library.
Lunch is included today at an award winning restaurant. After lunch we’re off to a futuristic forest surrounded by towering highrise located in the financial district on a 360-hectare expanse of reclaimed land. The project team suggests the landscape architecture mimics a rainforest valley with over 350 types of tropical trees and plants with the buildings curved walls resembling paddy fields.
