Hotels
👉 * Our Hotel The best all round we could nd that was super central, a good price, with a
good rating. Easy to get to/from the airport, walkable to Malls and Kampong Glam, transport.
👉 * Marina Bay Sands Hotel Spoil yourself at this iconic hotel. Guests get access to the rooftop
in nity pool.
Attractions (Combo Saving Tickets then Individual)
👉 * Explorer Pass 2 to 7 Attractions - This is what we used, where we saved $100 USD per
person over 7 attractions. You can buy less tickets if you don’t need as many. Best for spreading
attractions out as they are valid over 60 days to visit. A small number of the attractions need to
be pre booked in advance. Such as the Night Safari (3 days suggested, we booked the day before)
and the Food Tour (we booked it a week before but a couple of weeks to be safe). Once you have
the pass it’s easy to see which need to be pre booked and it’s either bookable via an email or
online booking system.

👉 * Unlimited Explorer Pass - Best if you want to visit lots of attractions in a short space of
time. I’ve read some reviews for this where they say they saved 50% compared to buying
single tickets. But you would need to intend on visiting a bunch of attractions. Also includes
Universal Studios Singapore which the Explorer Pass does not. (See above for pre booking
info)
👉 * Marina Bay Sands Hotel Observation Deck - Best for morning and early/mid afternoon
as it’s an open ticket time wise. Otherwise if you want to visit in the evening after 5pm, best
to book direct where you have to pick an hour slot you will be there. The site here says you
can book after 5pm which it seems you can, but it’s easier just to book direct for this
purpose. See below.
👉 Marina Bay Sands Hotel Observation Deck after 5pm - Best if you want to book a
speci c time slot after 5pm.
👉 * Gardens By the Bay Tickets - A range of di erent combo tickets. A few things to
explain - Floral Fantasy was just okay, Flower Dome was the greenhouse, Cloud Forest was
our favourite with Avatar, The Observatory is the highest SuperTree viewing platform. We
did the Skyway at the SuperTrees which for some reason isn’t an option here but still a great
way to see the trees from a high up platform. Skyway can be purchased just below the trees
with cash or card.
👉 * Michelin Food Tour - The 3.5 hour Michelin Food Hawker Tour we did around
Chinatown, all food and drinks included.
👉 * Universal Studios Singapore - Universal Studios Singapore. It’s a lot smaller than in
Florida so I completed everything I wanted in around 4 hours. And even went on a few
things twice! I may do a Universal Tips video, which if I do, it’ll be on our secondary
YouTube channel - Carry On Monkey so keep an eye out…
👉 * SEA Aquarium - The Aquarium. It opened 1 hour before Universal did and we were able
to see it all in 60 minutes so works out well. Could spend longer if you wanted though.
👉 * Bike Tour around Singapore - A good way to see and learn about the neighbourhoods
👉 * Big Bus Tour Singapore - A good way to see and learn about the neighbourhoods, but
without the peddling!
