Well, as we only had a 2 1/2 days stay in Singapore, my advises can of course only be incomplete!
We did a boat trip twice. Once on our second evening (within a "Singapore at night"-tour, offered by a local agency in our hotel) and another one within the last few hours next morning - just before we had to leave for the airport. That was a simple coincidence as people from another hotel, whom we met walking at the river while a boat was arriving, told us, that this was their "taxi boat ". They agreed to us joining them on their way into the city. We made the trip "down town", dropped them of and went "up" the river back to our hotel. This took approx. 1 1/2 hours and iwas absolutely great! So relaxing! And the views were splendid! It was not expensive at all and was a lovely ending of our Singapore Stay!
Both boat trips were nice, but totally different, as Singapore at night looks totally different from Singapore at day. Moreover our day trip started "outside" the city and gave us a lovely impression of what the river banks look like there. Leave a Comment Directions: Obviously it is possible to call for a "taxi boat" via a hotel! You can get on boats also at Clarke Quay or whereever you see a quay.

Fisrt of All, A Definition of a Quay, A Quay is is a wharf or bank where ships and other vessels are loaded. A quay may be constructed parallel or perpendicular to the bank of a waterway. The word is commonly used in United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and in some of the former British colonies (except the Unites States). Clarke Quay is a River Wharf in the Singapore River named afters Charles Clarke who was insrumental in Making Singapore a Sea Transport Hub.

If you are a thrill seeker, try out the G-Max Bungee at Clark Quay.
You can go solo, two or three persons together, strapped in a chair and then thrown up 60 meters in the air experiencing 5G.
It is must just to be a by-stander and watched the thrill. There is a video monitor to see the facial expressions of the riders. Of course, you can hear the shrieks, screams or utter silence of fear from where you stand.

Another of the 3 famous Quays along the Singapore River. Clarke Quay was once lined with warehouses to accommodate the mass amount of goods being shipped up stream from Boat Quay.
Today like Boat Quay, Clarke Quay has adjusted to the times and now serves as one of Singapore's thriving night spots. The Bars in Clarke Quay are a little more laid back and make a great spot to get your first drinks to start off the night. Also there are some good restaurants along the 5 blocks that make up Clarke Quay. My favorite being "Hooters!" Yes the famous International chain. If you been over seas for a while, you can use a break from the local cuisine and have some good old "Hot Naked Chicken Wings" while relaxing along the Singapore River. If doesnt get better then that.
A great area along the river to just sit back and relax while enjoying the wonderful city of Singapore. Leave a Comment Directions: Located Off Clarke Street and Read Bridge. Just a 5 minute walk up river from Boat Quay

Clark Quay is very nice interms of shopping , eating and clubbing. There is a variety of places to visit here to visit and you can also take a river cruise if you want. You can also try the Reverse Bunjee Jump ride if you brave. One thing I can say is that getting here is quiet simple as you can simply hop into the MRT and jump off at the Clark Quay station. Get a map of the MRT route , I think its the purple line. Leave a Comment

You can also sit back relax and have a cup of coffee and do some people watching. Directions: Take the mrt and alight at clarke quay station

we were walking along the river in clark quai when we found this sling shot. it's kind of apposite of bungy jumping because you'll be threw up on the air. 2 people tried and screaming out loud of course, at the end they got the movie of it, showing their faces in scariest condition during the act.
it'll be fun if you have the courage.
you also can find this kind of thing in kuta, bali. Address: at clark quaiDirections: take mrt and stop at clark quai

Looking for a quick thrill? Try the Gmax bungy then. Located beside the stretch of watering holes at clarke quay, this gmax launches you to 60 metres into the sky at 200km per hour. Be warned that the price per try is pretty steep though.

Clarke Quay offers a wide array of restaurants on its strip. If you are bored, you can hop into the G-Max (reverse bungy jumping).
Try the chicken wings in Hooters-- simply marvelous!!! Leave a Comment Address: Clarke Quay MRT exit C.

I find myself visiting the river whenever I'm abroad. I've been on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok and the river in Shanghai. I didn't get to see much of the Singapore River when I was there last January, so I made sure that I stayed on the river this time around. I also decided to take the River Cruise.
The best time to take the cruise is in the early mornings. There aren't too many gawking tourists, it isn't too hot and you can enjoy the tour peacefully. I went to the River Cruise station just across Liang Court and right beside Clarke Quay. There were only 3 passengers---a couple and me. Our driver, Kim, was very friendly and kind---he even offered to take pictures of us with great views behind. I think that was sweet of him.
You have two cruise options. The Singapore River Experience, 30-minute cruise, costs about SGD12 and takes you from Liang Court to Clifford Pier, and then back to Liang Court. Along the way, you pass by Riverside Point, Clarke Quay and Coleman Bridge, Boat Quay and the Financial District, Raffles' Landing Site and the Asian Civilizations Musuem, the Fullerton and Cavenaugh Bridge, the Merlion and the Esplanade.
The 45-minute cruise is called the New River Experience, which takes off from the Liang Court to Robertson Quay. This costs SGD15. The couple only took the 30-minute cruise, while I opted the 45-minute one. So, from Liang Court to Robertson Quay, I had the boat all to myself. It was one of the most enjoyable things I did. Thist cruise takes you to the Alkaff Bridge, the Riverview Hotela and the Grand Copthorne Waterfront.
The Alkaff Bridge is one of my favorite bridges (Cavenaugh is another), because it is the most colorful and most fun I've seen. It was painted by the late Filipino artist, Pacita Abad, who passed away several months after finishing her last magnum opus.
Take the cruise, you won't regret it.
