(1) Take a bumboat from Changi Jetty, which is near the Changi Village Hawker Centre.

(2) There is no scheduled departure time but when the bumboat driver will set off when there is about 12 passengers in the queue.

(3) Any idea of the costs of bumboat ride per head, duration of bumboat ride and departure times?

(4) The southern islands of Singapore are fun and interesting for the whole family to explore via bumboat .

(5) The bumboat service operates from 6.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. by private operators.

(6) You may need to book the whole bumboat to get back to mainland Singapore.

(7) Those seeking a different experience altogether can visit the island of Pulau Ubin, which is reached by hiring a bumboat from the piers at Changi.

(8) The ride takes about 30 mins and you can board the bumboats at several locations along the Singapore river.

(9) Today, tourists cruise the Singapore River in bumboats while water-skiers zig - zag down the Kallang.

(10) Now all but a few of the bumboats have gone and new life has been breathed into the old shophouses and godowns along the river banks.

(11) The bumboats leave whenever there are enough people for a trip, which is fairly regularly on weekends.

(12) At that time, sailors relied on bumboats for their daily needs.

(13) Today, converted bumboats operate as river-taxis which carry sightseeing passengers, with pickup and disembarkation points along Boat Quay and Clake Quay.

(14) Now the red swaying lanterns on the low, wide bumboats come on, making some minor huckster transformation from tawdry to quaint.

(15) The National Park Service office is in the village where the bumboats arrive, and you can check there.

(16) These bumboats were used to give tourists a tour of Colonial Singapore from the river.

(17) Wooden bumboats chug in and out of the old jetty ferrying people to islands such as Pulau Ubin.

(18) It is nice to catch glimpses of bumboats passing by while standing on Cavenagh Bridge.

(19) Cruise ships, freighters, pleasure craft, tug boats and bumboats vie for position on the river.

(20) However, it was the area south of the Singapore River, the area where bumboats congregated and jostled for berthing space, that saw the most activity.
