It was probably the heat but we bought tickets in Suntec City for a "Duck" tour of the city at S$33 a head. This bought an hour in an amphibious ex-vietnam army vehicle. Half the tour is on land, for the other half the Duck simply drives into the river and becomes a boat.
A great idea and you do indeed get quite a good tour through the colnial district of Singapore before heading into the river to see such sights as Marina Bay, the "Theatres on the Bay Complex" (otherwise knows as the "Big Durian") and the waterfront / merlion park area. Quite good though the land component is quite bumpy.
Try it once, you will enjoy it, but its kind of a novelty thing and once you have tried a duck you are all ducked out.
The only real downer was the on board "guide" who drove us mad with his inane loudspeaker commentary and non stop attempt to run competitions. We were working on taking photographs and after about 5 minutes I was sorely tempted to throw the guy overboard.
