SAMPAN RIDES

Go with the flow and be whisked away on a leisurely ride along the Canal at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Hop onto a beautifully crafted Sampan, inspired by Singapore's heritage, and explore the various attractions while learning about our design and sustainability features on this guided tour.

Immerse in the romanticism and make a wish as you circle the Rain Oculus, an eco-friendly installation comprising a 22m-wide acrylic bowl that collects the rainwater that fills the Canal. You might just get a close-up view of the hourly water cascade — an impressive 22,000 litres of water are released per minute from a skylight two storeys overhead.

Explore the various programmes available at Sampan Rides where you can learn more about our sustainability features or be gently serenaded by our very own Sampan rowers.
