Specially designed for all adventure seekers, this kayaking trip is the perfect introduction to the Pulau Ubin mangroves (no kayaking experience required)! Suitable for kids 4+ and up, under their parents' supervision. Option Highlightsâś… Gorgeous mangrove views to get upclose to nature âś… Heartfelt kayak guides who will introduce the wildlife of the area to youâś… Short hike up Puaka Hill, the highest point of Ubin, for stunning viewsâś… Rare chance to see local kelongs from upclose (floating fish farms)More DetailsThis option is one of the most comprehensive out there and good for kayakers of all levels (beginners welcome!). Apart from just kayaking, you will get to hike up Puaka Hill to enjoy the sight of Malaysia just across the border and get a glimpse of the beautiful Granite Quarry! Its blue waters and lush greeneries are reminiscent of lakes in New Zealand (the best we can get to travelling these days!).On the way back, visit the local Kampung houses to sneak a peek at the lives of the past generations. You will also get to buy fresh fish directly from local fishermen in the kelongs if you'd like! This is often the highlight for many locals as it provides a rare glimpse into the life of local fishermen. Recommended AttireCome in an attire that is suitable for water activities, we recommend long sleeves & long tights to protect you from the sun! Do also wear covered shoes or sandals (no slippers allowed). Child-FriendlyThis experience is suitable for children from the age of 4 and up, provided they know how to swim. Child life jackets will be provided.

Private Mangrove Kayaking in Ubin (Available Daily)
good guides - very knowledgeable, clear, friendly. Was a nice relaxed little family trip with 2 adults and 2 children (12 and 9). Great trip for beginner level and/or families. Nice stop off and floating fish farm at the end and purchased 5 fresh lobster which were very tasty.

Helpful Questions from Other Travellers
Hi, I have three kids aged 7, 8 and 10, so there will be a total of five pax. In this case, will we be able to join this kayaking trip? Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Jane,
Thank you for your question,
Yes! You and your children can join this kayaking trip, please check our calendar to see the schedule :)
Hi, are we able to use our SingaporeRediscover vouchers for this?
Hi Audrey, SerendipET isn't registered for SingaporeRediscover, so you won't be able to use the vouchers here.
Hi, can kids aged 5-7 join? My husband and I could take one of them in each kayak.
Hi Camila! Thank you for your questions.
Yess! Your kids can join as long as they are comfortable :)
What time do I need to be at Changi Point Ferry Terminal in order to reach Pulau Ubin at the meeting time?
The bumboats operate non-stop so you don't need to wait very long for one. We would advise being at Changi jetty about 20-25 mins before the meeting time at Pulau Ubin (allowing 10-15 mins max for waiting time, 10 mins for the bum boat ride)
What happens in case of rain? Will I get a refund?
If it is a slight drizzle, the trip will go ahead as planned. However if there is heavy rain, the trip will be cancelled. At that point, you can choose to reschedule or receive a refund. The final decision is up to the guide. Usually they will
inform you in the morning of the day of the trip.
