A not to be missed attraction in Singapore, the Songs of the Sea experience is sure to capture your heart with its entertaining and attention grabbing show screened every night at Sentosa Island. Whether you are young or old, come and experience this exciting nightly multi sensory extravaganza when visiting Singapore. Uniquely, these beautiful visual exhibits are displayed on screens created by water shoots that stream out of the 69 water jets found here.

The Songs of the Sea show makes the area of Siloso Beach come alive daily with a beautiful blend of vibrant colors. Apart from the colorful visual displays, the show is a popular hit among people due to its entertaining music, unique computer images, and outbursts of flames, lasers, water jets and pyrotechnics. There is also a friendly and well trained live cast involved in the show.

Logistically, the pyrotechnics of the Songs of the Sea are amazing. The water screen displayed is approximately 40 meters high, whilst flame bursts leap up to about 20 meters. One of the main highlights of the Songs of the Sea is a 120 meter long kelong structure which is a Malay fishing village. The kelong is complete with fishing huts made out of inflammable material. This amazing night starts off with a young man named Li singing a beautiful song as he overlooks the sea. He suddenly sees a vision of a princess sleeping in front of him who is bound by an enchantment. The story continues as Li, along with his friends, try to break this enchantment through a series of captivating events.

The Songs of the Sea show, started on 26 March 2007, replaced the 25-year-old Musical Fountain show. This showcase is a key $30 million investment by Sentosa to enhance its entertainment product offerings and to attract more tourists. It is the world’s only permanent show set in the sea – boasting spectacular pyrotechnics displays, a live cast and an open-air viewing gallery which can comfortably accommodate 2,500 visitors. The show runs twice a night at 7.40pm and 8.40pm and lasts 25 minutes. An entry fee of S$10.00 per person.
