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.
