A daytime walking tour of the Singapore Gardens By The Bay – and the evening lightshow featuring the amazing sculpted Supertrees. These light up at night as part of the light and sound display known as the Gardens By The Bay light show or Garden Rhapsody. We’ll also see the majestic Marina Bay Sands – rising into the air with its distinctive three towers, bridged by a floating garden – the Sands Skypark. We’ll wander through the shopping centre “Shoppes At Marina Bay Sands,” see the Whale sculpted from plastic waste in front of the ArtScience Museum and finish with a view of the bay from the Helix Bridge.
