Our Favourites
Kayak Singapore's naturally fascinating waters with the company of passionate, good-humored guides, some of whom are Ubin natives with an intimate knowledge of the locale. Learn about the heritage of Palau Ubin as you paddle in pairs, enter the mangroves and glimpse kingfishers, eagles, hornbills and herons. You might also be lucky to sight an otter family or pink dolphin pod! Alternatively, an 8.27km journey through to the middle of the island will bestow you with scenic views of wetlands and waterways. The area is a beautiful corner of Singaporean wilderness that's rarely seen due to its relatively inaccessibility, thus making this a truly one-of-a-kind experience for the curious and adventurous.
Insider Tips:
- Food is not included in the program so you may want to bring your own lunch or snacks. Alternatively there are local restaurants and eateries on Pulau Ubin within easy walking distance
Route
How to get there
STEP 1: Upon Arrival at Changi Point Ferry Terminal: Take the MRT to Tanah Merah Station. From there, take bus number 2 from Bus Stop A towards Changi Village. Alight at the final bus stop (the bus journey is about 30 minutes). Take a 5-minute walk from the bus stop to Changi Point Ferry Terminal. Alternatively, you may onto a taxi to reach the Ferry Terminal directly
STEP 2: Take a Ferry Ride from Changi Point Ferry Terminal to Pulau Ubin Island: Join the ferry queue, heading towards Pulau Ubin, located at the lower level of the Ferry Terminal. Pay SGD3 per person to the ferry operator (as the ferry operators will not depart until there are 12 passengers in the queue, you may choose to split the full 12-person fare with the other passengers who are in line). It takes about 20 minutes to reach Pulau Ubin. The waiting time before you board the ferry can range between 10-30mins depending on traffic on that day. Please do give yourself enough time allowance for catching the ferry ride over to Pulau Ubin. Latecomers more than 15 minutes late will not be allowed to join the program. We recommend participants to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow for transport delays
