Boat rides
One of the best and most relaxing ways to explore the center of Singapore
is by taking a ride on one of the boats on the Singapore River. It is
a nice change, especially at night, to see the magnificent skyline of
Singapore, the lively nightlife of the Quay areas and to see Singapore’s
symbol, the Merlion, at Marina Bay. This boat ride is especially nice
for first-timers to Singapore, as it gives you a total impression of
what Singapore has to offer. The ticket offices and departing places
are located at Raffles Place (both sides of the river), Clarke Quay
Jetty and Clarke Quay Festive Market.

Water sports
One of the most popular watersports is canoeing round the island and
there are a number of operators hiring out canoes at Changi point, East
Coast and Sentosa Island. There are also numerous scuba diving schools
offering PADI or NAUI recognised courses. Day and night diving in local
waters and nearby Malaysia are also available. Sailing and windsurfing
is generally popular on the eastern coast, where most facilities are
located. For waterskiing, the best locations are Sembawang and Kallang
River (a venue for previous world championships). Singapore offers easy
access to numerous offshore islands and Singaporeans drive over to Malaysia
to enjoy the watersports off the East coast. Fishing is a year-round
sport. Boats and equipment, inexpensive to hire, are available at the
Jardine Steps, Changi Park.
Cycling
Cycling is great opportunity to explore Singapore. Dedicated paths
link many parts of the island and bikes can be rented in many public
parks, notably those at East Coast Park, Sentosa, Pasir Ris and Bishan.
Mountain or dirt biking is particularly popular in Pulau Ubin.
