Explore Asia's largest observation wheel with our complete Singapore Flyer guide.
Looking for a breathtaking view of Singapore? The iconic Singapore Flyer offers one of the most spectacular panoramic experiences in the city. Standing tall at 165 meters (541 feet), this giant observation wheel provides visitors with unparalleled views of Singapore's stunning skyline, Marina Bay, and even glimpses of neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia on clear days.
The Singapore Flyer is Asia's largest observation wheel and the second tallest Ferris wheel in the world, just slightly shorter than the 167.6m High Roller in Las Vegas. This architectural marvel has become one of Singapore's most recognizable landmarks since its opening.
Each rotation in the air-conditioned capsules lasts approximately 30 minutes, giving you ample time to take in the breathtaking 360-degree views of Singapore's urban landscape and beyond. The spacious capsules can accommodate up to 28 passengers, though operators typically limit occupancy to about 10 people per capsule to ensure a comfortable experience.
The Singapore Flyer is conveniently located in the Marina Bay area at 30 Raffles Avenue, Singapore 039803. Getting there is easy with several transportation options:

Corporate travel in Singapore depends on more than arranging a vehicle for an executive, client or visiting delegation. The quality of the service is reflected in how carefully each journey is planned, communicated and managed from pickup to drop-off.

Getting around Johor Bahru is straightforward when the journey only involves one pickup and one destination. It becomes a different kind of booking once Senai Airport, several stops, meetings across different parts of Johor or a longer journey to Desaru enter the itinerary.

Booking a chauffeur in Singapore is easy enough. The more useful question is what happens once the journey becomes more demanding: a Changi arrival shifts, several meetings run back-to-back, or an executive's schedule changes halfway through the day.
