Watch out for my experience and review of sampan rides in Shoppes at Marina Bay Singapore. Sampan boat Singapore is a traditional wooden boat. The sampan rides are in the canal in which water flows from two-story-high Rain Oculus.

Marina bay sands whirlpool timings are mentioned in my blog.
The word “sampan” originated from the Chinese word sanpan (san means “three” and pan means “board”). Therefore, a typical Sampan boat will have three wooden boards.
The best way to reach Sampan Rides is via MRT.
Nearest MRT station: Bayfront MRT

Rain Oculus
It is an indoor hourly water cascade. It falls from a 70-foot diameter acrylic bowl to a pool 2 stories below. This is the canal where you will be enjoying Sampan Rides.
There is a large whirlpool that forms on the top. This waterfall functions both as a skylight and a rain collector. Over 22,000 liters of water are released every minute from a skylight two stories overhead, making for quite an impressive sight. The waterfall is turned on and off every hour so the whirlpool is always changing in shape and intensity. The rainwater is recycled back to the whirlpool and also fills a canal that runs through the atrium.
