Step into the world of Sir Stamford Raffles with An Evening at the Lighthouse: Sunset, Dinner & Boat. A guided experience set against the golden coastline of western Singapore.

Hosted at Raffles Marina, the evening traces Raffles’ vision of transforming Singapore into a strategic maritime trading port.
