Come face to face with Singapore’s very own tourism mascot, the Merlion, standing in the foreground, whilst the structural masterpiece Marina Bay Sands Hotel stands majestically in its pristine grandeur. Embark on a cultural immersion to one of the oldest and most important Hokkien temples in Singapore, an immaculately detailed southern Chinese architectural masterpiece of stone, tiles and dragons at the historic Thian Hock Keng Temple.

Bursting rich flavours of aromatic spices, colourful flower-garland shops, busy vegetable vendors, and ‘fiery’ curry houses; you’ll be fascinated at every turn. Be sure to try the traditional slightly spicy and sweet ginger tea “Teh Halia” in one of the shops. Spend the rest of the evening at your leisure.

After a hearty breakfast, dive further into Singapore’s local culture as we make our way to a wet market, where it all goes down. The wet market has it all from fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs to fish, meat, and poultry. Step into a vibrant and colourful world and excite your senses with its sights and sounds. Listen to the variety of languages spoken such as Mandarin, Hokkien, Malay, Tamil, English, and watch how the locals hunt for the freshest merchandise.

Onlyluxe Travel and the tour operator may require an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner.

Cancellation by The Tour Operator
The walks take place in very special wilderness settings. The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.
Force Majeure
'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.
Evacuations
In rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.
For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.
Travel Insurance
In view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
