Escape to a very different Singapore on a full-day adventure and soak in the best that nature has to offer. Get to indulge in a range of experiences - attempt an exciting channel crossing on open waters from Pasir Ris to Ubin, explore mysterious mangrove forests and tidal rivers, learn about Ubin's hidden history, spot wildlife like otters and eagles, and dig into lunch at a floating restaurant in the middle of nowhere!Apart from kayaking, you will also get out of the boat to explore a biodiverse intertidal sandbar, smell the incense at a century-old shrine, capture great views of a beautiful granite quarry lake, and cool off with a dip in the calm waters along a river estuary. Our full-day trips are longer and more immersive than a typical kayaking trip, but will include all you need for an exciting and restorative journey. With our inflatable kayaks, we can easily do one-way journeys with different start and end points, for optimised routes with minimal backtracking. Basically, less effort, and more reward!Location and TimingThe start point is at Pasir Ris Beach. We kayak from Pasir Ris to Ubin and to the floating restaurant, where we will have lunch, followed by a chartered bumboat trip to Changi Point Ferry Terminal, where we end the tour. For groups smaller than 6 pax, we will kayak back from the floating restaurant to Pasir Ris beach (carpark A) instead of getting a chartered bumboat to Changi.Tour start times are contingent on tides of the day, and may range between 7am and 12pm.Important NotesAs we use double-seater kayaks, bookings must be made for an even number of guests (e.g. 2, 4, 6 or 8 guests).The trip is suitable for first-time kayakers, but a basic level of physical strength and endurance is needed.Participants should be able to swim 50m with a life jacket, be comfortable with getting a bit muddy, and with being surrounded by nature.Trips are suitable for children 6-12 years old, if the child is (i) accompanied by a participant above the age of 18 in the same kayak, (ii) able to swim 50m with a life jacket, and (iii) comfortable and able to stay calm in the water with a life jacket.

If it rains heavily during the trip, we will wait it out on shore or at the closest shelter for it to lighten. If it is a drizzle and there is no lightning, we will continue paddling on. If it starts to rain before the trip, we'll check the near-term forecast and let you know whether or not to still make it down to the start point, and if so, whether to push back the trip start time. If the rain is forecast to continue on for a long time, we may have to reschedule it to another day.
In the event that one or more participants are tested positive (or suspected) for Covid-19, they are required to present a verification from MOH 24 hours prior to the trip. Customers can choose to reschedule the trip to a later date.
