About This Tour
In collaboration with Singapore HeritageFest 2026, Let’s Go Tour Singapore invites you to discover our maritime heritage and Singapore’s deep connection to the vibrant communities that made us a global maritime hub.
This special event series features two unique programmes: a rare Kelong Boat Tour into Singapore’s northern waters (now fully sold out), and a two-hour Heritage Walking Tour along the Singapore River. Both are led by heritage-trained guides who bring places and people’s stories to life.
Tour 1: Stories of the Kelongs
- Tour 01. Boat
Stories of the Kelongs: A Maritime Heritage Boat Tour
- This tour is fully sold out — thank you!
Venture into Singapore’s northern waters on a rare voyage through time, tracing the stories of kelongs — traditional offshore fishing platforms that once dotted the Johor Straits. These wooden structures, standing quietly above the tides, reveal how the sea shaped livelihoods, faith and community life along our coast.
Participants journey by boat past both active and abandoned kelongs, gaining an intimate glimpse into Singapore’s maritime landscape. Along the way, encounter an old seaside shrine once used by fishermen seeking blessings before setting sail, and hear stories of coastal families whose lives were bound to the rhythms of the sea.
Through these encounters, discover how maritime trade, migration and multicultural communities shaped our island’s foundations — including the enduring legacy of Sembawang Shipyard, formerly the British Royal Navy Dockyard.

Tides of Change: Singapore's Maritime Story Walking Tour
Journey through Singapore’s maritime past along the historic Singapore River, where trade, migration, and community life once converged. This two-hour guided walking tour traces how the river served as the cradle of Singapore’s early prosperity and cultural exchange.
Participants explore waterfront landmarks where merchants traded goods, migrants first arrived, and maritime communities built places of worship reflecting their hopes for safe passage across the seas. Stops include the Singapore River quays, Thian Hock Keng Temple, and Nagore Dargah — highlighting the multicultural seafaring networks that shaped early Singapore
From bumboat operators and dockworkers to storytellers and entrepreneurs, the tour brings to life the everyday individuals whose resilience and enterprise transformed a trading settlement into a modern global port city.
