Nightlife tours we run
Clarke Quay & River Walk
Follow the Singapore River from its mercantile past to its electric present. Historical riverside warehouses now house eclectic restaurants, rooftop bars, and one of Southeast Asia's most atmospheric nightlife strips.
Night Safari
The world's first wildlife night park. Board a tram through moonlit trails as leopards, tapirs, and flying squirrels roam freely in the dark — a once-in-a-lifetime nocturnal adventure.
About nightlife tours in Singapore
Evenings are the best hours to be outdoors in Singapore. The temperature drops into the high twenties, the humidity eases, and the two most distinctive after-dark experiences in the city both start once the sun has gone.
The Night Safari opened in 1994 as the world's first nocturnal wildlife park, and it still does something no daytime zoo can: 900-odd animals across seven habitats, lit to approximate moonlight, viewed from a tram and four walking trails. Clarke Quay is the other kind of night out — nineteenth-century godowns along the Singapore River converted into restaurants and bars, with a river cruise that shows you the Marina Bay skyline from the water.
The two pair naturally into one evening or split across two, and both work well as the closing act on a day of sightseeing rather than a separate outing.

Nightlife tours — FAQ
Is the Night Safari suitable for children?
Yes — the tram ride is fully seated and narrated, and the Creatures of the Night show is built for family audiences. The late finish is the only real consideration; most families with young children book the earliest 7.15pm tram.
Can I photograph the animals at the Night Safari?
You can, but flash photography is prohibited throughout the park because it distresses nocturnal animals. A phone or camera that performs well in low light will get far better results than a flash would.
Do the nightlife tours include drinks at Clarke Quay?
The guided river walk and cruise are included; food and drinks at the riverside venues are paid directly so you can pick your own spot. Your guide will point out which places are worth the money and which are tourist traps.
