A Journey Through Singapore’s Maritime Story
The Raffles Heritage Sunset Tour brings participants on a storytelling journey tracing Singapore’s maritime identity—from Sir Stamford Raffles’ vision in 1819 to the coastal landscape we know today. Discover the foundations of Singapore as a global maritime hub and how Raffles Marina continues this legacy at the western gateway of the island.
Where Past Meets Present
Sir Stamford Raffles recognised Singapore’s potential as a strategic free-trade port that would connect cultures and commerce across the region. His policies laid the groundwork for deep-water port development and international shipping routes.
The Modern Extension: Raffles Marina
Established over a century later, Raffles Marina reflects Raffles’ spirit of exploration and connection. Facing the Johor Strait, it stands as a symbolic gateway for seafarers and maritime enthusiasts. Its lighthouse remains one of Singapore’s most photogenic sunset spots, offering an unforgettable view over the water.
