After making your way down to historic Clifford Pier, you will pass the mouth of the Singapore River, near the spot at which Raffles stepped ashore to find modern Singapore. Behind us is the magnificent skyline of tall buildings, before us the eastern anchorage of the busiest port in the world. You will cruise pass a cluster of tropical island before stepping ashore at Kusu Island, (not available during the ninth lunar month). Continue cruising pass other palm - fringed islands, as your guide gives you a fascinating insight into a part of Singapore that can only be seen from the sea.
