The ducktours Singapore amphibious tour is a one-hour ride in a restored World War II amphibious vehicle that drives through the Civic District and then splashes into Marina Bay. It costs $38 per adult.

Singapore DUCKtours Pte Ltd runs it from the Suntec City Tower 2 tourist hub, and a ticket buys land sightseeing and a water leg in the same vehicle, which a normal boat tour in Singapore cannot do.

The detail that changes the decision is the audio. The platform's own review summary flags engine noise that blurs the guide, so this suits families who want the splash more than the history. Start from the Harbour Advisor home page if you are still comparing boats.

What is the ducktours Singapore amphibious tour and what do you see?

The ducktours Singapore amphibious tour is a one-hour guided drive-and-splash in a refurbished wartime amphibious vehicle that passes Singapore's best-known landmarks from road and from water.

• Water leg - the vehicle enters Marina Bay, where the listing places the views of Marina Bay Sands, the ArtScience Museum and the Merlion.
• Civic District - the Old Supreme Court steps and the Civilian War Memorial, which the listing ties to the Japanese occupation.
• Passed by - the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay, then a lucky loop of the Fountain of Wealth beside the start point.
• Commentary - a live guide in English; the listing does not give the guide's languages beyond that.

This ducktours Singapore amphibious tour is a drive-by sampler. Nothing in the listing says you step out at any landmark, so treat it as an orientation ride rather than a stop-by-stop visit.

Where does it leave from and how do you get there?

You check in at the tourist hub on the ground floor of Suntec City Mall Tower 2, unit #01-K8, at 3 Temasek Boulevard, Singapore 038983.

1. By MRT - get off at Promenade (CC4 / DT15) and take Exit C, as the listing instructs. Walking route from Promenade on Google Maps; I could not compute a reliable walking time, so check the route before you leave.
2. By taxi or ride-hailing - set the drop-off to Suntec City Tower 1 and 2.
3. At the hub - redeem your ticket at least 30 minutes before the departure you booked.

The listing's includes line says "Hotel Pick-up & Drop-off", but its meeting-point section describes a fixed hub and gives no transfer details. Because the two statements conflict, I treat hotel pickup as not included and would confirm with the operator before relying on it.

What is the route, stop by stop?

The route has nine named points in the listing, and the order is described two different ways, so I list them by type rather than a fixed sequence.

The itinerary field says "Singapore River" for the water leg, while the description and the know-before-you-go notes say Marina Bay. I trust the Marina Bay wording because it appears twice and is more specific. The description puts the splash first, and the notes put the Civic District drive first, so ask the staff at check-in.

How long is it and when does it sail?

The tour takes 1 hour, and English departures run every hour from 10 AM to 6 PM every day, with 6 PM as the last tour.

• Booking window - the operator recommends booking at least two days ahead.
• Check-in - 30 minutes before the time you chose.
• Mandarin or other languages - the listing offers English only, so I cannot tell you about other timetables.

The last departure leaves before sunset in every month of 2026 (earliest sunset 6:52 PM in November), so you see the bay in daylight even on the final run. The table later on this page lists each month.

What is on board and what is included?

The listing includes the one-hour amphibious ride and a live guide, and says nothing about food, drinks or a toilet.

How does the ducktours Singapore amphibious tour compare with river cruises?

At $38 for 60 minutes it costs more than the bumboat river cruise and far less than the dinner boat, and it is the only one in my list that also drives on roads.

The river cruises in the table pass Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, which the amphibious tour does not. If you want those, my Singapore river cruise guide compares them.

Is the ducktours Singapore amphibious tour worth it versus the other boats?

For a first-day orientation with children, I would book the ducktours Singapore amphibious tour; for the cheapest skyline views, I would take the bumboat instead.

• Book it if the vehicle itself is the draw, or you want the Civic District history in one hour.
• Take a river boat if you want Clarke Quay at night, since the last duck departs at 6 PM.
• Value score - travellers rate value for money 4.2/5, below the guide at 4.5/5 and transportation at 4.6/5.

16.9 million international visitors arrived in Singapore in 2025, up 2.3% on 2024.

With that many visitors, I would book the 10 AM and 4 PM departures of this ducktours Singapore amphibious tour early. The listing does not publish seat counts, so I cannot say how fast they sell out.

When is the best time to go?

Any month works for the ducktours Singapore amphibious tour, but the drier months, February and June to July, give the fewest wet departures.

• Driest - June has 12 days with 1 mm or more of rain in 2025.
• Wettest - March has 29 days, so pack a poncho; the listing has no rain policy, so ask the hub.
• Heat - monthly highs stay between 29.2 and 31.9 C, and the listing does not mention shade or a canopy.

What do passengers say?

Reviewers praise the splash and the guide, and the main complaint is that the engine drowns out the commentary.

• Fun and informative - the platform's AI summary, based on 28 recent verified reviews, uses these two words first.
• Audio - at least two of the ten reviews I read mention noise or a hard-to-follow guide.
• Duration - one reviewer wished it were longer, another calls it a sampler rather than a city tour.
• Children - parents of young children describe them enjoying the moment the vehicle enters the water.

The ten reviews shown are all five-star, so the sample leans positive; the 4.5/5 average across 557 reviews is the better guide.

Who should skip it?

Skip the ducktours Singapore amphibious tour if you use a wheelchair, want a long cruise, or want to stand inside landmarks.

• Wheelchair users - the listing says the vehicles are not accessible.
• Night-view seekers - the last tour is 6 PM, so try the dinner cruises in Singapore.
• Anglers and adventurers - the kayak fishing tour costs $116 for 4 hours and puts you on the water instead.

The wider Singapore boat tour list has the other options.
