Singapore Family Premium Escape
Six days built around what families actually remember — Universal Studios and a world-class aquarium on Sentosa, the Supertrees and skyline views at Marina Bay, and the world's tallest indoor waterfall on your way home — all from premium, centrally located hotels with every transfer handled.
One of the world's easiest cities to holiday in — done properly
Singapore rewards families more reliably than almost anywhere in Asia: it's clean, safe, English-speaking, and built around attractions that work for every age in the group at once. This six-day itinerary is shaped around its three genuine centres of gravity — Sentosa's theme parks and beaches, the futuristic gardens and towers of Marina Bay, and the city's older, walkable neighbourhoods — so you're never backtracking or wasting a day in transit.
You'll spend a full day at Universal Studios Singapore, the only Universal park in Southeast Asia, then a second day at the Singapore Oceanarium (formerly S.E.A. Aquarium) and Sentosa's beaches. Marina Bay brings the Supertree Grove, the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, and the SkyPark Observation Deck 200 metres above the bay. On your way to the airport, we route you through Jewel Changi to see the world's tallest indoor waterfall — free, and right on your path to the gate.
Premium, centrally located hotels, daily breakfast and every transfer are arranged for you. This is the starting template, not a fixed itinerary — extend it, swap a day for Adventure Cove Waterpark or a river cruise, or run it as a fully private family trip.
What you'll actually see
Universal Studios Singapore
Southeast Asia's only Universal theme park, with 18 attractions across themed zones from Hollywood to Jurassic Park and Far Far Away — a full day that works for thrill-seekers and younger kids alike.
Singapore Oceanarium (formerly S.E.A. Aquarium)
One of the largest aquariums in the world by water volume, with roughly 100,000 animals across 800-plus species — glass tunnels, an Open Ocean habitat with manta rays and sharks, and a scale that genuinely impresses adults too.
Gardens by the Bay's Supertrees & Cloud Forest
Rated one of the world's top attractions, home to over 1.5 million plants. Walk the OCBC Skyway between the Supertrees, feel the temperature drop inside the Cloud Forest beside one of the world's tallest indoor waterfalls, then catch the free Garden Rhapsody light show after dark.
The world's tallest indoor waterfall, on your way home
Jewel Changi Airport's Rain Vortex drops 40 metres through a glass dome — free to view, landside, and perfectly placed for a last stop before your flight rather than a separate excursion.
Your 6-day itinerary
Two full days on Sentosa, a full day at Marina Bay, a city and culture day, and a Jewel Changi stop built into departure — with breakfast daily and all listed transfers included.
You're met at Changi Airport and transferred to your hotel in the Marina Bay area. Once you've settled in, ease into the trip with an evening at Merlion Park and the Marina Bay waterfront, then cross to Gardens by the Bay for the free Garden Rhapsody light and sound show at the Supertree Grove — a gentle, spectacular first night for kids and adults alike.
A full day at Marina Bay, starting with Gardens by the Bay: the misted, waterfall-cooled Cloud Forest, the Flower Dome's rotating floral displays, and the 128-metre OCBC Skyway threading between the Supertrees. In the afternoon, head up to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck — 200 metres above the bay, with 360° views over the gardens, the Singapore Flyer and the skyline.
Transfer to Sentosa via the Sentosa Express monorail or the cable car for sweeping harbour views on the way in. Spend the full day at Universal Studios Singapore, moving through themed zones from Hollywood and Sci-Fi City to Ancient Egypt, Jurassic Park, Far Far Away and Madagascar — paced to suit the ages in your group, with height-appropriate rides for younger children as well as the bigger thrills.
Back on Sentosa for a slower-paced day: the Singapore Oceanarium's glass tunnels and Open Ocean habitat in the morning, then the island's beaches in the afternoon. Walk the suspension bridge from Palawan Beach to the "Southernmost Point of Continental Asia," or simply relax at Siloso or Tanjong Beach while the kids play in the shallows.
A guided morning through Chinatown's shophouses, temples and street food, giving the trip a change of pace from the theme parks and gardens. The afternoon is free — add on Little India, Orchard Road shopping, or a Singapore River cruise, or simply rest before your final full day.
After breakfast and check-out, we route your airport transfer through Jewel Changi Airport for a final look at the Rain Vortex, the world's tallest indoor waterfall, and a walk through the Shiseido Forest Valley — both free, and right on your path to the terminal. You're then transferred to your flight, or on to your next stop if you'd like to extend into Malaysia or the Maldives.

Before you go
Best time to visit
Singapore is warm and humid year-round with rain possible any month, so plan for the occasional shower rather than avoiding a season. Indoor attractions like the Oceanarium, Jewel Changi and the Gardens' domes make rainy days easy to work around.
Currency
The Singapore Dollar (SGD). Cards and contactless payment are accepted almost everywhere, including hawker centres and public transport, though a little cash is handy for smaller stalls.
Getting around
The MRT network connects Marina Bay, the city centre and HarbourFront (for Sentosa) quickly and cheaply, and taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely available. Strollers are welcome on the MRT, buses and the Sentosa Express.
Getting to Sentosa
Reach Sentosa via the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity, the Singapore Cable Car from Mount Faber or HarbourFront, or the Sentosa Boardwalk on foot — the cable car adds a scenic ride worth building into your day.
Ride height & age limits
Universal Studios Singapore's rides carry individual height and age restrictions, and some Canopy Park attractions at Jewel Changi have similar limits. If you're travelling with younger children, tell us their ages when you enquire so we can flag which attractions suit the whole family.
Visas & documents
Entry requirements depend on your passport. Many nationalities can enter Singapore visa-free for short tourist stays, but please check based on your own nationality before travelling — we're happy to point you to the right official source.
Singapore, from Supertrees to shoreline
Good to have answered
Is the US$1,399 price per person? What does it cover?
Yes — that's a starting price, per person, for the 6-day itinerary based on twin-share accommodation. It covers premium hotels, daily breakfast, airport and listed transfers, the sightseeing in the itinerary, selected entrance fees and local assistance. The final figure depends on your travel dates, hotel choice, group size and whether you'd like it private, so we confirm an exact quote when you enquire.
Are Universal Studios and the aquarium tickets included?
Entrance to the attractions listed in the itinerary — including Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium and Gardens by the Bay's ticketed conservatories — is included in your package. Optional extras such as Adventure Cove Waterpark, express passes or Canopy Park attractions at Jewel Changi are not, but we're glad to add them to your quote.
Is this itinerary suitable for young children?
Yes — it's built for a mixed-age family group. Universal Studios Singapore has rides for younger children as well as bigger thrills, the Oceanarium and Gardens by the Bay are gentle and stroller-friendly, and the beach day is easy-paced. Tell us the ages of everyone travelling and we'll flag anything with height or age restrictions in advance.
Are international flights included?
No — international flights aren't included unless we've specifically stated so in your quote. Singapore's Changi Airport is one of the best-connected hubs in the region; we can advise on convenient routings and arrange your airport transfers to match your flights.
Can this itinerary be customised or run privately?
Absolutely — this is a template, not a fixed package. Run it fully private, add a day at Adventure Cove Waterpark, extend into Malaysia or the Maldives, upgrade to a Sentosa resort stay, or reshape the pace entirely. Tell us what you have in mind and we'll build it around you.
Do I need a visa for Singapore?
It depends on your nationality. Many travellers can enter Singapore visa-free for short stays, but requirements do change — please verify based on your own passport before you travel. We're glad to point you to the right official source.
How do I book or get a quote?
