Private Tour: Singapore Haw Par Villa and Round-Island Day Trip including Lunch

start date: 2009-10-20
end date: 2010-03-29

Visit Kranji Dam, which was once a swampy area used as the first landing spot for Japanese Advance Boats before they proceeded to Lim Chu Kang territory. Haw Par Villa’s colorful statues and landscaped grounds are a Singapore highlight, and were formerly known as the Tiger Balm Gardens.

Proceed to Kranji War Memorial. Unveiled in 1957, the memorial overlooking the Straits of Jahore, is the last resting place for many of the allied soldiers who lost their lives in World War II. It commemorates by name over 20,000 men and women of the forces who have no known grave.

After lunch on your round-island tour you’ll visit Singapore’s Bright Hill Temple, famous for its Chinese crematorium and well-stocked turtle pond. The final loop of your Singapore day trip brings you to Changi Chapel and Museum, with its memories of the Changi prisoner-of-war camp. You’ll pass the Johor Battery built by the British in 1939 and see a replica “Monster Gun”, one of the largest guns installed outside Great Britain during World War II. Your Singapore day tour returns to Singapore via a drive through Changi Village.
