What to Expect:
Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, the Singapore Botanic Gardens is the first and only tropical botanic garden on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Upon arrival at the Gardens, meet with a specialist nature guide who will direct you through the Gardens’ 6-hectare Rainforest. Hear stories and learn the secrets of the Rainforest’s more than 300 plant species, most of which are endangered, rare or vulnerable. Following your tour of the Gardens, head to a local hawker centre to hunt for edible heritage treasures that are well hidden within the food centre. Savour the flavours of noodles or rice prepared and cooked in the traditional way, cakes or delicacies prepared in a special recipe well kept from our grandmothers’ time. Continue to a converted heritage hotel originally built in 1895 along the calm Singapore River. Take in the historical atmosphere from the exterior before enjoying a refreshing drink and traditional crepe wrap known as a ‘popiah’. Enjoy sampling this special dish while our expert guide answers any questions you may have, followed by a stroll along the historic Singapore River.
