The experience

A bumboat crossing to Singapore’s last kampong island, explored by bicycle.

A half day on Pulau Ubin, a granite island off Singapore’s northeast coast where wooden kampong houses still stand, water still comes from wells, and stoves still run on wood — the clearest contrast available to Singapore’s downtown skyline.

A short boat crossing from Changi Point is followed by a guided cycle through wetlands, mangroves, orchards and villages, with an English-speaking local guide throughout and bicycle rental included.

Who this suits

A good choice when it matches the way you want to use the city.
