Sampan Ride Ticket at Marina Bay Sands

Floating aboard a hand-paddled sampan boat—a nostalgic nod to Singapore’s trade-era waterways—you’ll glide through the indoor canal winding beneath the luxury mall. This elegant ride isn’t just about shopping; it’s a serene escape wrapped in cultural history.

What You Will Experience

• Sampan Serenity
  Step into a handcrafted, traditional-style Chinese-Malay wooden boat, tenderly guided through the canal by expert rowers.

• Rain Oculus Wonder
  As you drift along, circle the Rain Oculus—a striking 22-meter acrylic bowl designed as both art and engineering marvel that forms the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, pouring 22,000 liters of rainwater per minute from a skylight above.

• Make a Wish and Watch
  Pause and feel the mist as water cascades around you—often thought of as a lovely spot to make a wish while marveling at the seamless blend of practicality and beauty.

• History Meets Shopping
  The sampan echoes the small trading boats that once crisscrossed the Singapore River—a gentle way to glimpse the country’s heritage from a stunning modern backdrop.
