5 days pure Singapore🧋🥠! Stay in 5* Marina Bay Sands - Dragon Boat Festival - Island Hopping 🐉🌇. Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site and more (May/ June 2025)
Hello night owls and adventure lovers👋🥰! My name is Maria and I am looking for nice TripMates to join me on a fun Island Hopping and City Trip to modern and old Singapore in May / June 2025! 🏝️ 🌇! I will be around in Asia for work in May and I want to extend my visit there with a 5-days trip to Singapore (and from there continue to Malaysia. Check my other trip, if you wanna do both together🥰). In short: Although this trip is fully packed with activities and cool sightseeing, we will also have two free days in order for everyone to enjoy some time on their own, relax or visit places that might be of personal interest and that my programme does not cover. I will still offer a programme for these days, if anyone does want to still do things together in a group :). So the trip is really for everyone: We have some very active days where we cycle or walk a lot and explore, and other days on which we just relax and enjoy the beaches. My personal highlights will be the street food in the many local hawker centres with influences from China, India, Japan and other Asian countries. Also visiting the big and famous Dragon Boat Festival Race is an authentic event not to be missed and of course our stay at the landmark 5-star hotel with the famous Infinity Pool overlooking Singapore City - The Marina Bay Sands. But of course, there will be soooo much more to explore in Singapore during our 10 days and I have - as always - some cool suggestions and surprises awaiting us. So let`s embark on this journey together, would you!? Physical rating of the trip: 3 out of 5 Group size: min 4 - max 5 tripmates INCLUSIVE ✅1 night in the famous 5* hotel Marina Bay Sands in twin-bed rooms excl. breakfast ✅3 nights in a hotel or apartment in Singapore city centre ✅Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and view the Boat Races🐉 ✅Visit to the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Singapore, the Botanic Gardens ✅Visit and entry ticket to Gardens by the Bay with entry to the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome ✅Gardens by the Bay Light Show 🌃 ✅Boat transfers to Pulau Ubin rural island incl. bike rental on the island ✅Visit to the Chek Jawa Wetlands and the turtoises ✅List of packing tips for Singapore, help with flight search and visa / entry ✅Predetermined itinerary - all you have to do is join and enjoy🙂 ✅Motivated and great TripMates and TripLeader guaranteed! 😍 I can assist you with pre-booking an arrival transfer from the airport to the hotel and I will also share more information on how to get to the hotel by public transport.

WHAT MAKES THIS TRIP SO SPECIAL AND WHY JOIN ME 👋👩🏻🦰 I have many years of experience as a travel specialist for China and traveled to more than 41 countries, a lot of which are located in Asia. As a person who loves to organize trips in my spare time and just likes company to share these experiences with, I joined joinmytrip in 2023 in order to find other cool like-minded people to travel with. A lot of tripmates have become good friends by now and we went on other trips together eversince. And this is what brings the biggest value to such group trips: the great friendships. Therefore, be sure to be part of a fun group😍. I speak to everyone upfront before accepting a request to join my trip. This is the best way to get to know each other and try to set up a group that fits. Besides, I have taken care of all the planning and organization and I always have some cool specials planned as well ;). I can assure you, you won't regret coming along!
ABOUT THE ACCOMODATION Our highlight is an exclusive night at the 5*-hotel Marina Bay Sands. It is full of world-class luxury and a landmark destination in the heart of Singapore. The architectural gem stands out in the skyline of Singapore and worth a day. I have planned nothing during our stay at this luxurious hotel, so we can fully enjoy the world-famous 146 meter long Infinity Pool, award-winning dining, shopping, entertainment, and more. The other 3 nights are planned in either a central good hotel or apartment of same value. It will depend on how many of us will travel to Singapore :). Breakfast is not included in the Marina Bay Sands and might be included in the other hotel, depending on availability. We will share twin bed-rooms during our entire stay in Singapore. P.S.: Please note that dates might change slightly, if the Dragon Boat Festival will be postponed to another date. But we will remain with the travel dates in late May/early June 2025 :). I hope you are now convinced that it`s worth joining 😁! Don`t miss out on this unique opportunity of exploring Singapore like a local - one of the most stunning countries and modern countries of South-East Asia!

Day 1: Welcome to Singapore and the heart of the modern world architecture! Depending on the time of your arrival (most flights from Europe land either early morning or in the late afternoon), you can meet me at the Changi Airport (SIN) and we take a shuttle to the city centre together or we meet at the pre-arranged time for our get-together at the hotel lobby in the evening. Don`t worry, either way, I will share detailed directions with you how to get to the hotel on your own :). Our first night we spend like queens and kings in the 5* hotel Marina Bay Sands! A beginning to a trip that is not to be missed! Once we checked-in, we can unwind and relax after the long flight! There are plenty of opportunities: Enjoy some time by the 146 meter long infinity pool with amazing panorama views of the skyline, casino, shop for souvenirs or just enjoy some drinks and dine in this luxurious atmosphere. Once everyone has arrived in Singapore, we grab some drinks and a local dinner and get to know each other. You will be given a short introduction to what to look forward to during the week and our day-by-day plans I will provide you with all the necessary details of the trip.

The Cloud Forest is another building in the Gardens of great interest and home to one of the world’s tallest indoor waterfalls and a lush mountain clad with plants from around the world. Gardens by the Bay is simply an iconic must-visit place while in Singapore! I plan to spend the whole afternoon & evening there as there are sooo many more stunning things to explore in the Gardens.

We will also stroll through the National Orchid Garden and marvel at over 1000 species and 2000 hybrids of exquisite blooms.

Pulau Ubin
Day 4-5
Day 4: On the next day we embark on a unique trip to the past: the rural island of Pulau Ubin. It is an authentic island with a small active fishing kampong (village) and beautiful wetlands surrounding it. Originally named Pulau Batu Jubin for its granite quarries that once supplied building materials for iconic structures like the Istana (presidential office) and the Singapore-Johore Causeway, it is just a short 15-minute boat ride from the jetty. This serene island oasis is a beloved destination for both nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. We wil take a bus or metro line to the jetty and then set over to the island by boat. The island is best explored by bicycles, so that is what we do! We cycle to the Chek Jawa Wetlands first, covering approximately 100 hectares in area. It is a unique natural area, where six major ecosystems – sandy beach, rocky beach, seagrass lagoon, coral rubble, mangroves and coastal forest - meet! After a lunch break we go to explore the rural village and the rubber and coconut plantations. If we have time and weather allows, we can relax on one of the white sandy beaches on the island before setting back to Singapore City.
