Review Body: We attended as a group of varying ages, from my 70 year old father to my 7 year old son.
We met our guides Xiaoyun and Cec at Pasir Ris and there we set off on a two hour night expedition. We were blanketed in complete darkness, save for the flashlights our guides helpfully provided.
It was a lovely two hour trek that felt shorter than it was as the guides pointed out creatures of the swamp that one would normally not catch in daytime. They were also patient with my seven year old and his questions about spiders, ants, telescopic snails, snakes, horseshoe crabs and crickets.
Would highly recommend as en experience truly off the beaten path - I truly don’t think I have ever done anything like this before. And we’re game for another - maybe the intertidal walk?

Review Body: Our first boardwalk experience at pasir ris was led by untamedpath’s guide - Xiaoyun. It would not have been a fruitful and great learning experience if not for a guide like Xiaoyun. She was clearly knowledgeable about Singapore’s nature diversity and passionate in her job. She was also very patient with our two kids and their endless questions and satisfied their curiousity. Because of her, we cited several insects, creatures and learnt more about mangroves in a night. Thank you for the great experience.

Review Body: What an outstanding experience! My four year old son and I attended a night walk with Jie Yi who was so knowledgable and displayed such patience and care showing my son all the diverse species that live in Pasir Ris. I was amazed by the amount of wildlife, including reptiles and insects, and plant life that we saw and it captivated my sons attention the entire time. It has been the highlight of our trip. If you are interested in seeing the natural side of Singapore you must book this walk!

Review Body: We had an amazing experience on the mangrove night walk! Our guide, Noelle, was incredibly knowledgeable about the local ecology and wildlife. Her ability to spot animals in the dark was truly impressive — we saw four species of snakes, an endemic leaf insect, archerfish, mudskippers, and even heard nightjars calling. It was a fascinating and beautifully organized night expedition, and we learned so much about the mangrove ecosystem. Highly recommended!

Review Body: I didn’t know what to expect but this was such a blast! Fun, meditative, and totally original. I would take guests here instead of night safari to get a better idea of what the natural world really looks like after dark. Temperature is very pleasant and we encountered zero mosquitoes!

Review Body: This is a cool experience. Fun to do something different, and ourguide was very sweet and nice. This being said - this experience is WAY WAY WAY OVERPRICED! $170 for two pax is pretty ridiculous for a 90 min walk on the Pasir Ris boardwalk. We didn't even walk the whole boardwalk...?...we walked in to a point and turned around.
IDK - I have the ability to value alternative experiences and people's skills. I also don't like giving a small biz a bad review but I truly don't think this is worth almost $200. Go buy a torch and walk the boardwalk on your own.

Review Body: Guide was knowledgeable and tried her best to search for the insects, fish, snakes etc. however, many of these r also visible in the day. So not sure how different a night mangrove tour was meant to be. Think it’s overpriced for a planned tour of just covering the main boardwalk.

Review Body: There is a lot to like about the experience.
Some memorable moments:
-being told to jump over giant forest ants, something I won't even see or consider if I were on my own
-spooking a colugo and learning that they are closer relatives to primates not lemurs!!
-seeing a pair of glittery eyes through the thicket and Dennis saying "that's sambar deer". I've seen sambar deer in a national park in India, where they are the food of tigers. To think that a small population exists here and that our forests can support them is kinda crazy.
-seeing the endemic jade tree snail
Dennis is a personable guide. He's friendly and knowledgeable, but doesn't commit the common error of loading guests with too much information. He has a sharp eye. As we started walking in, he explained his interest and passion for observing biodiversity and how he self-taught to identify various flora and fauna, starting with insects and snakes and branching out to other species. AND he maintains this conversation while simultaneously hearing/seeing life around him.
He was also accommodating of my schedule, offering to start the tour three hours behind the regular time.
Overall it was a great evening that I've been telling my friends about. I am someone who deeply enjoys walking and being outdoors, but that night opened my eyes to the life that is around me. :) It's definitely worth exploring if you're someone who is looking to learn more about Singapore's endemic biodiversity and our forest ecosystems.

Review Body: Dennis was an excellent guide for our night hike. As a longtime Singapore resident and nature fan I was looking for a different way to experience some of the wild spaces. Dennis’s night time hike was a fantastic way to go do that. It was clear as soon as we met up that he really knows nature and has a passion for it.
We had about a two hour walk on a very easy path, but without a guide there’s no way we’d have seen as many creatures as we did. We were thrilled to get a close up view of some scorpions, and the highlight for me, a colugo high up in the trees and a shy tiny mouse deer.
Would absolutely recommend these walks. It was an unusual and fascinating evening. Good footwear and strong bug spray are essential. You’re mostly under trees so rain isn’t a huge problem. Good quality flashlights are provided and it’s all completely safe.
We arranged everything very easily by WhatsApp.

Discover night critters in mangrove forest with a guide
Pasir Ris Park is the only other protected mangrove forest in Singapore aside from its more famous counterpart, Sungei Buloh. Once you step onto the boardwalk into the mangrove forest, you'll get to discover mangrove inhabitants such as horseshoe crabs, vinegar crabs, mudskippers, and various water snakes (at a safe distance of course!). Primary school students would get to apply what they see during this tour to their science curriculum back in school (on different ecosystems and adaptation)!With the expertise of The Untamed Paths' guides, you will be able to spot a lot more night critters than if you were to go alone. The knowledgeable guides would also answer any burning questions you or your child may have. To make the most out of this trip, children are recommended to be above 6 years old. This adventure starts in the evening and lasts about 1.5 - 2.5 hours. DisclaimerPlease only sign up for this programme if you truly value our knowledge and expertise in the field. Wildlife can be expected, however animal sightings are not guaranteed. Come with an open mind and what we can promise is an enriching, educational and immersive experience nonetheless.Important NoteDo note that this is not merely a tour and active participation is encouraged to ensure a holistic experience. Come with an adventurous spirit! A slight degree of discomfort may be expected as you are walking in nature and it could be humid, but all the better for the kids to learn about the natural environment!
