What is the best place for kayaking in Singapore?

You can kayak at MacRitchie Reservoir, Pasir Ris park and many other places in Singapore. But if you're looking for something more special with more beautiful scenery, Pulau Ubin is our favourite place for kayaking! There you can kayak amidst the mangroves (very Lord of the Rings!), see kelongs (floating fish farms), and if you're lucky you may also spot otters and herons! It's the most atmospheric place in Singapore for kayaking as you really feel like you're completely immersed in nature.

Can a beginner do kayaking in Singapore?

Yes! Kayaking is pretty easy and it doesn't require any training/knowledge, so it's a great activity for beginners! You don't need to be very fit as well - you can just take your time and go leisurely at your own pace to enjoy nature! You should be able to swim, or if you can't swim you should be comfortable with a life jacket in the water. If you are looking for an easier way to kayak, we would also recommend trying leg-paddled kayaking. It's less strenuous (you don't need to paddle!), and it also frees you up to enjoy the gorgeous scenery around you.

What do you wear for kayaking in Singapore?

Wear a hat, light long-sleeve shirt and trousers (to protect from the sun!), and closed-toe shoes. You should also bring sunblock, a water bottle and a waterproof bag (a zip-lock bag will do!) to keep your phone and valuables in.

We have a four year old and an 8 months old. Is it possible to go as a family?

Unfortunately 8 months is a bit young as there are no baby-sized life jackets!

You don't need to know how to swim, so long as you are comfortable in the water with a life jacket
