About Singapore
Singapore is a small but mighty nation, city, and state located on the southern point of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia. While only 275 square miles in area (734 square kilometers), Singapore is one of the world’s most prosperous, innovative, and modern cities packed full of fun and fascinating activities to do and sites to see, an impressive feat for its small size.
Singapore developed from a colonial port into a wealthy and ultramodern financial hub where the skyline is dominated by unique contemporary architecture. While awe-inspiring during the day, the city’s architecture is especially beautiful at night when the buildings are illuminated with a warm, multicolored glow.
While Singapore is most well-known for its modernity, it is also known as Asia’s melting pot. It is home to a blend of cultures, predominantly Indian, Malay, Chinese, and Eurasian. This earned Singapore its nickname ‘Instant Asia’ as it offers a glimpse of many cultures from across the continent. You can find rich pockets of culture amongst modernity in districts like Chinatown, Little India, and Arab Street, where brightly decorated buildings line the streets, and fragrant aromas waft through the air.
Singapore is also known for being a fun-filled city for all ages. With world-renowned shopping malls, thrilling theme parks, marvelous museums, art galleries, and zoos, there is an unbelievable wealth of entertaining activities to fill your time in the city.
Singapore has prioritized conserving its green spaces, making it a top city in the Green City Index. 50 percent of the island is green space, a jaw-dropping figure that earned Singapore its nickname ‘City in a Garden’! You can see this first hand at its many pristine parks, nature reserves, and white sandy beaches, nestled among the man-made wonders of Singapore.
Singapore offers the perfect balance of modernity, culture, fun, and nature. With its abundance of entertaining attractions, striking architecture, cultural diversity, and breathtaking natural beauty you could never experience it all with just a day trip.
From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore: Travel tips
Traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is not just a trip between two of Southeast Asia’s largest and most important cities, but an adventurous and fun-filled part of your holiday. Here are some essential travel tips to consider to ensure a smooth travel experience.
Select a respected transportation provider
Choose a reputable provider, such as Daytrip, that offers experienced drivers with local knowledge, flexibility with your desired itinerary, and convenience with a door-to-door service.
Depart at the ideal time
Traffic can be particularly busy during peak hours in the morning and evening when locals are commuting between the cities for work and the customs line can get backed up. If your itinerary allows for it, we recommend departing earlier in the morning or later in the afternoon.
### Pack for the weather
The climate in Southeast Asia is tropical, humid, and warm all year round. Therefore it is recommended to bring water, sunscreen, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun and heat.
### Talk to your driver
Although your driver is not a professional tour guide, they will be proud to share with you some local tips about the region! Please do not hesitate to speak to your experienced driver in case there is anything they can do to make your trip more comfortable, whether that is adjusting the climate control or providing you with some top tips for your arrival in Singapore.

How to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore
Planning how to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore will shape your trip, with each transportation option offering a different experience. While there are many transport options available, a private car service stands out as the best way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore.
From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by car
The trip from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is 222 miles (358 km) and takes approximately 4 hours to drive but can vary depending on traffic and border processing. The car hire option is convenient and ensures flexibility with your schedule. However, driving a rental car can be challenging with roads teeming with traffic and a busy border crossing to navigate.
From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by bus
Many companies offer direct bus services from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. The bus ride takes around 5-6 hours, depending on traffic and border processing. While the cheapest option, it’s also the longest, and the border crossing can sometimes extend the journey time drastically. You also have less flexibility since you have to schedule your trip around rigid bus schedules, and there's the added hassle of handling your luggage across the city.
### From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by train
There is no direct train connection from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and instead, there is a long, complicated, and indirect route that can take over 7 hours. This option is expensive, inconvenient, and not how to go to Singapore.
### From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore by plane
Several airlines offer flights multiple times a day between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and take approximately 1 hour. Although this seems like the quickest option, traveling to and from the airports outside the city centers and the waiting time at the airport extends the travel time. Furthermore, with this option, you have to meet strict airline luggage allowances and handle your luggage to and from the airports which can be stressful.
### From Kuala Lumpur to Singapore with Daytrip
Alternatively, traveling using Daytrip’s private car hire ensures a convenient, stress-free, and straightforward experience with the opportunity to tailor your trip according to your desired itinerary.
With Daytrip’s car hire your private driver will transport you door-to-door. They will meet you directly at your address in Kuala Lumpur and handle your luggage, ensuring a relaxing start to your trip. You will be dropped off in Singapore directly at your hotel, ensuring a great start to your adventure in Singapore, with more time available for sightseeing.
Private car services also offer the most customizability, allowing you to start your journey on your terms by choosing your departure time rather than being restricted to public transport schedules. You can also decide which vehicle you travel in, from a sedan, MPV, or van, all of which meet our strict safety inspections, ensuring your safety and comfort on your journey.
We interview all our drivers to ensure safety. Being local, they will be familiar with the roads and offer their local tips about the region, ensuring you make the most out of your travel experience. Daytrip is more than just a taxi. You can also choose optional hand-picked sightseeing stops, allowing you to discover gems such as the UNESCO-listed Malacca or the pretty Putra Mosque along the way. They're a great way to turn your ride into a spectacular sightseeing experience!
Ultimately, the best way to get from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore is via private car service with a respected company like Daytrip. It offers the perfect combination of flexibility with your itinerary, and you'll travel in comfort. Unlike a taxi, with a private car service, you have the opportunity to see Southeast Asia from the eyes of a local and stop at some of the gems along the way that you'd miss using public transportation options.
Things to do when you get to Singapore
Singapore offers the perfect combination of experiences all in one place. Discover breathtaking modern architecture and an array of entertaining activities from shopping malls, theme parks, and museums alongside a melting pot of cultures and nature.
Start your visit to Singapore at the impressive Marina Bay Sands, an iconic resort who's three impressively curved buildings dominate the city’s skyline. While impressive from a distance, prepare to be awed when you enter the resort. A theater, museum, restaurants, shops, lush gardens, and four viewing platforms across the enchanting Helix Bridge are just some of the activities on offer here promising to keep you entertained!
Another must-visit architectural marvel is The Gardens by the Bay, a serene nature park where modernity meets nature. It is home to the iconic supertrees, futuristic man-made trees that are vertical gardens. Alongside this, two conservatories full of blossoming flowers await you: The Cloud Forest, a lush tropical rainforest watered by the world’s largest indoor waterfall, and Flower Dome, the world's largest greenhouse, home to an array of international flora including rare African Baobab trees and Mediterranean olive trees. For more natural beauty, walk through Singapore’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a 158-year-old garden home to the world’s largest orchid display. You can even join a guided tour to learn about the garden. Sentosa Island is another must-visit site, where relaxing white sandy beaches can be found amongst exciting attractions such as Universal Studios and a waterpark.
While a modern and innovative city, Singapore also offers a rich melting pot of cultures to experience in the ethnic districts nestled within the modern city. Take a stroll through Chinatown and enjoy authentic Chinese food while wandering the streets, admiring the beautiful buildings and taking in the fragrant spiced aromas. And in Little India, you'll find the streets lined with vibrant buildings and temples, spice shops, and restaurants serving authentic Indian cuisine.
Singapore is a haven for foodies; visit the traditional ‘hawker’ centers throughout the city and eat like a local, sampling the delicious and authentic Asian street food. These markets are so integral to Singaporean culture that they have been included in UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. One, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, even has a Michelin Star (and it's just 6 SGD!). For another fantastic food spot, stroll along the waterfront of the Boat Quay to find an array of riverside restaurants offering alfresco dining along the waterfront promenade. This is a perfect spot to admire the picturesque seafront views, particularly beautiful at sunset.
For more scenic sunset views, hop aboard the Singapore Flyer, Asia’s largest observation wheel at 541 feet (165 meters) high, which boasts breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The fun doesn't stop at sunset. At night, a wealth of unique experiences emerge. Visit the Night Safari, the world’s first nocturnal zoo, where you can get up close to 900 animals on winding walking trails where some animals roam freely!
Singapore offers an exciting experience for everyone: from its modern architectural center, captivating cultural districts, natural wonders, and a vast array of diverse activities and sites to explore, you’ll need more than just a day trip to experience all this exciting city has to offer.

“우리는 Day Trip에서 받은 서비스의 품질에 매우 만족했습니다. 우리는 8월 31일 아테네에서 레프카다로, 9월 7일 레프카다에서 아테네로 돌아오는 두 번의 Day Trip을 이용했습니다. 두 여행 모두 그리스의 아름다운 명소에서의 정차가 포함되어 있었습니다. 두 운전사 모두 훌륭하고 친절했습니다. 그러나 특히 우리를 레프카다에서 아테네로 데려다준 기사 Panos Peppas를 언급하고 싶습니다. Panos는 믿을 수 없을 만큼 친절하고 유쾌했으며, 뛰어난 고객 서비스를 제공했습니다. 그 서비스에는 모든 짐을 처리해 주는 것, 여행 내내 차가운 물을 제공해 주는 것, 단백질 바를 제공해 주는 것, 코린트 운하(경유지 중 하나)에 대한 인쇄물을 제공해 주는 것, 귀국 항공편의 터미널 및 게이트 정보를 찾아 알려주는 것, 그리고 자지키 요리법을 알려주는 것이 포함되었습니다.”
“우리는 이 회사를 정말 사랑하며, 지난 몇 년 동안 여러 번 이용했습니다. 직접 렌터카를 빌리는 번거로움 없이 A에서 B로 이동할 수 있었습니다. 매번 훌륭한 운전사들, 효율적이고 전문적이었습니다. 그 값어치를 충분히 하며, 우리는 Day Trip을 모든 사람에게 진심으로 추천합니다. 그들의 5성 평가는 완전히 자격이 있습니다.”
“Daytrip의 Gonzalo는 우리의 운전사였고, 그는 정말 놀라웠습니다. 휴대폰 신호가 좋지 않아 우리가 어디 있는지 찾기 위해 많은 노력을 기울였습니다. 그는 우리가 로비에 도착할 때까지 인내심 있게 기다렸고, Tulum Dreams Resort에서 공항 근처에 있는 칸쿤의 다른 호텔까지 우리를 데려다주었습니다. 그곳은 집으로 돌아가기 전이었고, 한 시간 반 정도 거리였습니다. 그는 공손하고, 예의 바르며, 친절했습니다. 긴 여정 내내 우리가 편안하도록 신경 써 주었습니다. 빠르고 간결하게. Tulum에서 Cancún까지 편도 차량을 찾는 것은 쉽지도 저렴하지도 않은데, 이 회사는 훌륭한 가격에 훌륭한 서비스를 제공합니다. 앞으로 Cancún/Tulum 지역에 있을 때 꼭 다시 이용할 것입니다. 감사합니다, DayTrip과 Gonzalo.”
“마리안나는 우리를 픽업해서 헤라클리온에서 하니아까지 데려다주었습니다. 날씨가 매우 안 좋아서 그녀는 몇 분 늦었지만, 직접 연락해서 알려주었습니다. 마리안나는 하니아에 살고 있으며, 도중에 하니아에서 할 수 있는 활동들과 볼거리를 알려주며 우리의 여행을 더욱 흥미롭게 만들어 주었습니다. 그녀는 매우 안전하게 운전했고, 비가 많이 오는 상황에서도 저희는 그녀의 운전 속도와 실력에 안심할 수 있었습니다. 그녀는 사랑스러운 사람이고 영어도 유창하게 합니다. 우리는 Daytrip을 적극 추천하며, 헤라클리온이나 하니아에 계신다면 꼭 마리안나를 요청해 보세요.”
“It was a TOTALLY satisfying trip with My Day Trip from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. My driver, Mr. Eugene T. is REALLY professional, experienced, and friendly as well. The day before he contacted me and recommended us leaving 1 hour earlier to avoid the traffic jam in Singapore immigration due to the long weekend. He even sent me some real-time CCTV videos of the traffic jam. On the day, I asked for a 30 minute earlier pick up and coincidentally he was available. He also provided an air purifier as requested. It was really good to have a chat with him along the trip. I and my 70+ year old parents felt safe despite the heavy rain drive on the highway. He also recommended us to have an early dinner to mitigate for the fully-booked restaurants during the Islamic fasting break hour. Because of his experience, we arrived on time at the two immigrations without any traffic jam. The special benefit of using a car is that we did not have to get out of the car and carried our luggages with us to the immigration; and Mr. Eugene T helped us to ensure that all the processes were done seamlessly. It was a PERFECT 5-hour journey from our hotel in KL to our hotel in SG. I would love to use My Day Trip again for the SG - KL trip. It was REALLY CONVENIENT to travel with a car on this route. Thank you, Mr.”
“I was skeptical at first about all the positive reviews of Daytrip, but after using Daytrip for a trip from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, I am no longer skeptical. (I went alone on this trip.) My trip was easy, safe, and smooth.”
“We traveled from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore with a wonderful young driver named Aiman. Aiman picked us up from our hotel in K.L. And drove us to Singapore, stopping off at Putrajaya and Melaka on the drive south. The van was clean, comfortable, wifi was available, and it was a nice alternative to flying. We were able to take in the countryside along the way. Aiman was so knowledgeable, polite, and an all round nice person. I highly recommend this service.”
