Enjoy a distinct breakfast before a relaxing bumboat cruise uncovering the birth of Singaporean history along the Singapore River, the landing of Sir Stamford Raffleshad, the founder. Transcend into river life as you marvel at relishing landmarks – the enigmatic Marina Bay sand, a three-tower colossus with 55-story buildings finally crowned with a slightly titling Skypark. The iconic statue of Merlion on Sentosa; a Singaporean mascot, half-lion, half-fish, which you will get to meet in all its grandeur as you forge ahead on this fascinating ride. Proceed with a drive around the colonial Civic District past the Parliament House, Cricket Club, and National Gallery Singapore will surely drive down an ecstatic feeling due to the wonders endowed in the surroundings of this astounding landmark. Next, discover the Thian Hock Keng Temple, the oldest and most important temple to the Hokkien people in Singapore, dating back to 1839. Prepare to project into a more intense exploit that will heighten your senses while revealing the history of Asia through its practices and art. Your journey for the day is never complete without a visit to the National Orchid Garden, housed within the UNESCO world heritage. Drink in the tranquility and gaze at Vanda Miss Joaquim, the national flower of Singapore. You will find a colour fiesta on display in this location as you behold 60,000 orchid plants with 400 species and a showcase of over 2,000 hybrids. |
Raffles Hotel Singapore (5*)Breakfast |
After a gleeful breakfast at the hotel, set out into another exciting exploit as you tour the Kampong glam, Singapore’s Muslim Quarter where you will find the luxurious sultan's mosque with a golden dome. Finally, Chinatown, a bond that draws together new culture, tradition, and modernity in its long converted shophouses which now serve as stores, having the best of local art on display; a purchase of its finely made rattan basket-wares, batiks, exotic perfumes or carpets should serve as the perfect reminder of your exciting expedition. Embark on a food tasting voyage delighting your senses in all its forms. Sample spicy Malay, a richly prepared cuisine with a burst of aroma made with spices and herbs. Savour the tel Halia in coffee shops or a ginger milk tea locally made with sweetened condensed milk to enhance its sweetness. As a treat of love and kindness, try out the locally made Bakkwa known as rougan. This savoury treat is made with either beef, pork, or mutton, similar to jerky. The brackish-sweet treat is served in Chinatown. |

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.
