Leg paddling is definitely a game changer; it was so much less tiring than kayaking and at times can even be relaxing. Thank you Alvin, nas and nezam for taking really good care of us. The fish and cook experience was indeed refreshing as compared to normal kayak fishing experience. And who knew that mussels are of abundance along floating kelongs. Nas and nezam were also very learned when it comes to fishes along the straits. They gave clear instructions on how to fish, which made it a lot easier to catch the fishes. They were also very good chefs.

Helpful Questions from Our Community
Hi, I would like to bring my kids to try paddle kayak. But I am the only adult with 3 kids age 7yo, 10yo and 13yo. Will that be okay? They are all good swimmers.
Hi Shi Yun,
Yes, it would not be a problem if they are comfortable doing the activity without your companion. The youngest can kayak together with you and the other 2 can do it together in a tandem kayak :)
any chance you have another couple who is looking to do it on a weekend? to avail of the 4 pax package? :)
Is it suitable for non swimmers?
Thanks,
Mary
Hi Mary, this is a private option so the trip will be for your group :)
If you wish to book a Join-in trip, please check this option: https://www.seeksophie.com/options/kayak-fishing-shuck-mussels-catch-cook-in-the-wild.
It's beginner-friendly too! :)
What happens if it rains? Are we able to postpone the session to another date?
Hi Amirah, 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 . The final decision is up to the guide. Usually they will inform you in the morning of the day of the trip
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.
