シンガポール動物園＆リバーワンダー＆アマゾンリバークエスト＆トランスファー

Basically this experience is someone booking a taxi for you to get there and pre buying the tickets.. would be more cost efficient to do that yourself, and be very aware it's only a one way transfer (itinerary suggests returns included with the way it's worded) so you have to get train/bus back or arrange your own taxi! The Zoos themselves are lovely but I wouldn't recommend going via this tour. - very disappointed in what this turned out to be.

Booked through Tour East Singapore. The description of this "tour" is completely misleading. It was not a tour, we were simply taken in a taxi, dumped at the escalator up to the Zoo over an hour before it even opened! You have to make your own way back into Singapore. The zoo is miles out of town and it is very expensive to get a taxi back. There is a bus and train service but it takes over 1 1/2 hours! Our QR tickets did not scan for the zoo to admit us , only for the river wonders which is a ten minute water ride. We were stuck there for another hour trying to get this sorted. The zoo is worth visiting and it was lovely to see the two pandas up close. Sadly the two year old baby panda has returned to China. Lots of walking so take cool drinks. The cafe was ok but a bit basic. I recommend the evening visit to the zoo which is a proper tour and brings you back to your hotel afterwards.

We had great time in the Zoo. It was fun and it's definitely worth spending time to explore the Zoo.

Leaving for the Zoo early was a good plan. The weather was cooler and not as busy. The downside is that the eateries were closed, apart from the breakfast buffer which was an optional extra. That was around $47SGD pp. The River Wonders attraction, which you need to buy separate tickets for, was great. I got to see three of my bucket list mammals, the Giant Panda, a Capybara and a Manatee. The Panda was awesome, they looked so happy, just laid back and munching on bamboo, the Capybara was at the show that you have to pre-book for, the booking option opens two hours prior to each show starting. The Manatees, we're as happy as, just cruising around their habitat. The Singapore Zoo was also a great attraction, it's a huge so plan for the warm weather as you explore. Again, the early morning start means the animals are active and you get to see them all, I'm guessing as the day processes and it gets warmer, the animals may start hiding from the heat. The Singapore Zoo takes great care of their animals, their wellbeing is certainly a priority. The eateries do get full and indoor and there is seating outdoors under cover with fans, it's all part of the experience. All in all the Singapore Zoo and River Wonders experience was so worth it. The Giant Pandas and Capybara were the highlights and star of the show for sure! The Headout ticketing process was good, but we needed to get online to use their chat bot to confirm the tickets, with one request and as promised the tickets were delivered in 30 minutes. The ticketing could be a smoother process and by a little more quicker. The tickets you get from Headout are not the actual Zoo tickets, you still need to convert them to Zoo tickets with the Zoo staff. Getting to the Zoo via MRT to Khabit MRT stop, head to Way out A and head towards the bus stops, there should be a sign where the Zoo bus pickup and drop off is. Beware that you will need to pay for the bus ride to the Zoo, it's not a free bus shuttle. The free shuttle sign you see is only when you are transferring between zoo parks. Would recommend the Singapore Zoo and River Wonders with a hooper pass ticket if available, this ensures you can hope between zoos for different shows if you wanted to get the full experience. That means a lot of walking or maybe use the trams that traverse the Zoo at different stops. Have fun!
