Activity itinerary

Gardens by the Bay

We'll explore the dazzling 40th anniversary lantern displays at River Hongbao, starting with the lucky "40" Welcome Arch. I'll explain the stories behind the Ten Thousand Horses display and why the God of Fortune is holding cabbage (hint: it's about wealth!). We'll catch cultural performances, check out the carnival rides, and snap Instagram-worthy photos at the best spots. Then we'll head to Marina Bay Sands for the spectacular Spectra water and light show to cap off the night. Expect lantern magic, local insights, plenty of laughs, and enough good fortune to last the whole year!

Spectra - A Light And Water Show

We'll wrap up the evening with Spectra, Marina Bay Sands' stunning multimedia show. Watch as water jets dance up to 13 stories high, perfectly choreographed with lasers, lights, and music against the iconic Singapore skyline. I'll get us to the best viewing spot along the waterfront promenade. The show runs about 15 minutes and it's the perfect way to end your night of celebration—totally free and absolutely mesmerising!
