Review Body: Absolutely loved this tour. Definitely not for total beginners as you're out for quite a bit but not a moment was wasted - our host was super knowledgeable and was able to talk about the local ecosystem and point out specific plants and animals for us as well as talk more about the history of the area as a whole. Really great to give us excellent context for the rest of our trip through the area. Make sure you take the sun safe tips / clothing recommendations they give you seriously, as the trip is in quite open sky environment rather than through dense shaded estuary/mangroves.

Review Body: This was a real adventure and so different from the usual sightseeing trip! The journey to Pulau Ubin takes you through parts of Singapore that you would probably not otherwise see and Pulau Ubin is so peaceful and different from downtown. Our kayak trip was safely managed with good guidance and advice from the tour leader, Lee. We learnt lots from him about the local area as we paddled around Pulau Ketam and saw egrets and sea eagles on the way. We even managed a short stop and visited the German Girl Shrine. A really different, but very enjoyable day out on the water.

Review Body: Had a wonderful morning of kayaking with Kelvin! It was a small group of just the eight of us and he catered the route to suit the kayaking experience of the group so that we could all have an enjoyable time without losing out on the unique Ubin exploration experience. My 13 year old girl could easily keep up despite it being her first time kayaking. Kelvin also shared little nuggets of fun facts about Ubin and its mangrove forests during our short rest breaks. Highly recommend this for a quick getaway to experience nature and get a good workout.

Review Body: We had a great 4hrs kayaking and learning about Pulau Ubin with Jacklyn. The kayaking was good , we first kayaked past the island and then into the mangroves and saw a kingfisher in flight, and then a grey heron and a white bellied eagle on the way back, searching for fish, with a large wing span . Thank you Jacklyn for a great kayaking trip and telling us about the history of Pulau Ubin island and the surrounding area . The stop for cold drinks half way was enjoyable and was just what I certainly needed !

Review Body: An excellent experience on the doorstep of Singapore's hustle and bustle but makes for a chilled and relaxing contrast. Our guide, Ben, was knowledgeable, friendly and kept us safe throughout our kayak journey past the busy fish farms and subsequent exploration of the much more tranquil mangroves. Well worth it and would repeat on subsequent visits to Singapore

Review Body: We enjoyed a wonderful day out kayaking to Ketam with Syahril as our guide. The kayaking journey was well curated with a short walk in the middle that allowed for exploring of Ketam. Syahril was great, sharing with us a lot of history and fun facts about Pulau Ubin! So much fun being a “tourist” at home. Definitely will recommend!

Review Body: We had a fantastic time, particularly because we were the only participants. As kayaking beginners, we felt the pace was ideal. It was quite nice that we managed to see wildlife like monitor lizards, sea eagle, and crabs. It was such an enjoyable experience that we would have loved for it to be longer!

Review Body: We had a great time! Perfect for family and friends to bond on this trip. We were grouped with another family and we enjoyed the interaction. Our guide, Shahril was fun, warm and friendly. We would love this again in the future. Just don’t forget to bring sandals for after the kayaking ;)

Review Body: It was a wonderful trip but I felt like I wasn’t prepared for it 😅 especially my daughter who couldn’t paddle against the rough wind and current. I would love to come back with adult friends. Afran was a wonderful guide. Hopefully we can do the mangrove kayaking next time

Review Body: This was the second time I’ve done this trip with Asian Detours and it was EVEN BETTER this time! Our guide John was super knowledgeable and was paddling around finding all kinds of crabs and stuff for us to see. He even scooped up a jelly fish!!! Such a cool experience.

Review Body: I had an accidental solo kayaking tour today with Daniel as the guide. It was incredible to see the mangroves and Daniel was so knowledgeable about so many topics related to the sea, mangroves, and the general environment. Highly recommend.

Review Body: Coaches are friendly, experienced and welcoming, especially Kevin. Felt safe during the entire trip. The way the knowledge was shared can use less questions. I would prefer just sharing the knowledge directly.
