Marina Bay Sands Sampan Ride Ticket

Enjoy a Sampan ride along the Canal at Marina Bay Sands, circling the iconic Rain Oculus, and see the Lion City in all its glory.

Add a relaxing Sampan ride to your day at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.

Take in the magnificent Rain Oculus that can drop 22,000 liters of rainwater per minute into the Canal.

If you’re lucky, you’ll see this waterfall cascade (that happens hourly) up close.

Have fun window shopping, checking out all the different stores, as you sail through the Canal. A great way to start or end your outing to the mall.

Did you know that sampan boats were originally used as fishing boats in Southeast Asia and the Marina Bay SkyPark boasts a rooftop garden with over 200 species of plants?

Sail away on a serene Sampan Boat ride

Enjoy a laidback experience as you sail along the Canal at the Shoppes at the luxurious Marina Bay Sands. You’ll ride in a traditional sampan boat and see the mall from a waterfront perspective.

Make a circle around the iconic Rain Oculus, an environment-friendly installation that is both a skylight and rainwater collector. The 70-foot diameter bowl – two stories above – collects rainwater and, from this whirlpool, it’s poured into the canal. You might get to catch the hourly cascade of water – a beautiful sight given that the whirlpool changes shape and intensity. It’s easily 22,000 liters per minute in peak flow.

Window shop while you languidly move through the atrium and enjoy some light banter with your boatman guide. A perfect start or finish to a day of shopping at Marina Bay Sands.
