Singapore is a mix of modernity and 19th century charm wrapped in beautiful tropical gardens. The Gardens by the Bay with its Cloud Forest, Flower Dome and Supertrees will delight you.
Your Ross Tour Leader Angie Thomas will meet you at Sydney International Airport for your Qantas flight, or meet in Singapore.
Check into our hotel, Parkroyal Collection Pickering, with its world-class sky gardens, your luxurious home for the next five nights. Celebrate your arrival in the tropics and meet your fellow travellers at the Welcome Dinner tonight.
Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore
Savour the famous multicultural Parkroyal Collection Pickering smorgasbord of breakfasts. Your adventure begins at the UNESCO listed Singapore Botanic Gardens. The tropical rainforest here is one of the few pockets of original jungle left on the island.
Singapore is famous for orchids and they 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. You will enjoy lunch at one of the loveliest restaurants surrounded by the orchid and heliconia gardens.
Afternoon at leisure until it cools a little, when you’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. You’ll be delivered into the middle of the vibrant modern skyline of Singapore. Discover the restaurant strip to sample the cuisine Singapore is famous for (own expense).
Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore
Today’s highlight is 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, you 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.
You 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.
Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore
Explore Singapore’s past, present and future today. To walk into Singapore’s past you visit the Spice Garden, once the site of Singapore’s first Botanical and Experimental Garden set up by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1822.
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 you’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. Head back to the hotel to relax poolside.
Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore
Start the day with a guided walking tour of Singapore’s famous Chinatown. It’s a vibrant marketplace, a feast of fascinating vegetables, exotic fruits and seafood, whilst gaining an understanding of the importance of the Chinese community and tasting treats along the way.
Back to the hotel for an afternoon at leisure.
Return to Gardens by the Bay for our Farewell Dinner tonight housed within the Flower Dome. Then be dazzled by the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show under the Supertrees.
