Overview

Friendly for beginners, come as you are because equipment and gear will be provided. Hop on one of our tandem kayaks in a pair or with our Expedition Leader, and you are set for your adventure!

The journey begins with a short length of open sea kayaking before entering the mangroves. You will immediately notice a sharp difference between the choppy open sea waves and tranquil calm waters among the mangroves.

Do not be fooled by the peacefulness as inactivity because the mangroves are abuzz with wildlife! For bird-watching enthusiasts, you will be able to spot species such as the Kingfishers, Eagles, Hornbills, Herons and Egrets – and that is just to name a few.

Great experience paddling the mangrove forest. Singapore is a vibrant thriving metropolis but there are access points close to nature - only a 40 min grab from our hotel to the ferry port and a short ride to the island. The tour guides were excellent - Calvin was knowledgeable and extremely skilled. Emily was friendly and encouraging. The wildlife did not disappoint - we saw hornbills, a purple headed heron, eagles, blue kingfishers, and the pinacle of our sightinings was a Black Forest cobra swimming across the water a safe distance ahead. Very worthwhile trip. The only negative is how heartbreaking it is to see all the plastic garbage in the sea - so hard on the animals. South Asia has a very serious pollution issue that must be solved! But this trip and operator are top notch and I highly recommend, even for new kayakers.

The trip was great the island is amazing. Takes a little bit of organising to get to the island, we stayed on Orchard Road and it took about 40 mins in a taxi to get the ferry terminal. You then have to wait for 12 people before the bumb boat will leave there is no guarantee on time therefore please leave plenty of time to get to the island. The bumb boat is an experience on its own and we really enjoyed the ride. The kayak was good, I would say you do need to be reasonably fit as you carry your equipment to the shaw line a couple of mins from the hut and the actual kayak on the return is a little more difficult as we went against the current but still very enjoyable and plenty of opportunity to rest and take your time no rushing. Different capabilities in the session but this was fine too as each person can go at their own pace. Richard was our guide he was great very knowledgeable about the area and patient with everyone. My only negative is that the water is very dirty and it was disappointing to see that the water is not taken care of. I would definitely recommend the trip as it gives a different more authentic experience of Singapore. There is also plenty of options to hire a bike and cycle after if you wish.

The company that run this are v capable and instruction and safety are very clear. The mangrove kayaking was beautiful and peaceful. Being able to buy fresh coconut juice at the bridge was a nice touch. The open sea part was more challenging but still suitable for anyone to do. Bring your own hat, cream, water bottle and water shoes (though they have some spares you can borrow (if they fit)).

We had a brilliant time. Lee was an excellent guide and very patient and instructive with everyone. He showed us some wonderful scenery and wildlife including otters, Eagles and even a blue kingfisher. Lee was always very conscious of safety issues with every thing we did. I would love to go again and highly recommend it to anyone with a sms of adventure and likes to get out of the city. Thanks Lee.

Unique and fantastic fun. Just the right level of challenge for the fit, active and curious adventurers. We had such a great time learning from such a knowledgeable guide seeing the mangroves and some of the wildlife. All necessary equipment is provided. Good on emphasis safety with a briefing and explanation of the tour provided. Enough instruction is given so that beginners are able to join in adequately. Moderate fitness recommended. The guide really does check to make sure you have a good time and to ensure on safety (eg. Storm). Very different way of enjoying Singapore. Totally enjoyed exploring Pulau Ubin in this way. Look forward to doing it again hopefully!

It was a great family trip but we did not come prepared. The website should tell travelers to come prepared with a change of clothes (you will get wet when you test the life vest and learn the basic strokes in the water), water shoes (no open toes allowed, you can borrow shoes that others have left behind), sunblock (you are out on the water the entire time with no shade breaks), a hat and some cash to buy a drink at the pitstop (or the guides will pay and you pay them back). We did not see any birds in the mangroves but the mangroves are pretty and peaceful. It was more work than expected but a great memory to take home with us from Singapore.

This was a great way to get off the beaten track and see the wild side of Singapore. Our leader was entertaining, knowledgeable and made sure we were safe. The kayaking was not difficult. All in all, this was great urban escape adventure
