Apart from visiting popular tourist attractions, what interesting activities can you do in Singapore? For unique Singapore experiences, we recommend that you try one or more of the tours listed below!

Singapore has been called a “food-crazy culture,” and many locals would readily agree! While you can discover some of Singapore’s best foods on your own, a food tour will guarantee you the feast of a lifetime, with the added bonus of interacting with locals and other travellers. 

To sample the best local dishes, snacks, and drinks known only to Singaporeans, book a food tour with any of these specialty agencies: 

• A Chef’s Tour

• Wok ‘n’ Stroll

• Secret Food Tours

• BetelBox

• WithLocals

Ready to take things to the next level? Sign up for a local cooking class, so that you can bring a taste of Singapore back home! 

Learn to prepare a three-course meal using fresh garden ingredients at One Kind House, enjoy a Malay cooking lesson on a local island with Cookery Magic, or join a ‘tourist class’ at Palate Sensations to fully experience the multiculturalism of Singapore food. 

Want the opportunity to share a meal with a local, but prefer to leave the cooking to the experts? Look for a private or home dining experience in Singapore. This is where you can savour a meal that has been thoughtfully prepared by a Singapore-based culinary enthusiast, while forging meaningful connections over the dinner table. 

TimeOut Singapore has rounded up some of the best private dining experiences in Singapore that you should try. As such events are popular with locals too, do book early to secure a seat.

Eager to view Singapore’s public murals, sculptures, and installations? You can do this on a self-guided art walk! 

Set aside a day to follow a DIY art walking trail that takes you to several city locations. Alternatively, for a shorter self-guided tour that you can complete in a morning, go on the Public Art Walking Trail to track down 20 art sites in the city centre. 

Plan to spend some time in Singapore’s ethnic enclaves? DIY art walks are also available for Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam, allowing you to easily locate the public art in these areas.  

For an in-depth Singapore experience, we recommend that you book a cultural tour instead. If you are particularly interested in street art, you can join a street art and food tour with either of these boutique tour agencies: 

• Wok ‘n’ Stroll

• Everyday Singapore

Do your interests extend to architecture as well? Jane’s Singapore Tours has several options that you can consider.

Prefer to create your own priceless work of art? Use the local experience site Seek Sophie to track down the best art jams, pottery classes, and craft workshops in Singapore!

As a ‘garden city,’ Singapore has many lush green spaces for visitors to enjoy at their leisure—Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Botanic Gardens, and MacRitchie Reservoir’s TreeTop Walk are especially popular with tourists.

Love to get around on two wheels? You’ll be happy to know that Singapore has a thriving cycling culture! You can either rent a bicycle for your own explorations, or sign up for a cycling tour by any of these specialty agencies:

• Let’s Go Bike Singapore

• Bike Around Tour Singapore

• Let’s Go Tour Singapore

Singapore is also a great place to try the sport of kayaking, which is similar to canoeing, but said to be easier. (Read about the difference between kayaking and canoeing here.) 

Look for these Singapore tour operators that offer kayaking trips:

• Fever (for fishing from a kayak)

• Adventures by Asian Detours (they have a full-day tour that combines kayaking with cycling!)

• SneakPeek Singapore (for half- and full-day kayaking experiences)
