Kayaking & hiking adventure in Pulau Ubin with stunning views & pet-friendly fun
Looking for an adventure that’s a little different? This kayaking and hiking combo takes you deep into Pulau Ubin’s mangroves, then breaks things up with a trek up Puaka Hill for stunning views. Unlike other kayaking trips that only stick to the water, this one adds a land adventure too! Plus, it’s pet-friendly—so your furry friend can tag along if they fit in your kayak (even dogs up to 20kg have joined before!). Whether you're a beginner or an experienced kayaker, this trip is designed for all levels, so no prior kayaking experience is needed. Kids aged 4 and up can also join with parental supervision, making it a great outdoor experience for families. If you’re celebrating a birthday, let your guides know—they’ll have a small gift and fun props to make your day extra special. The adventure doesn’t stop at kayaking and hiking—your guides can also take you to a local kelong (floating fish farm), where you can buy fresh seafood straight from the source. There's nothing like taking home your own catch of lobsters, mussels, and fish for an unforgettable meal!What to ExpectKayak through Pulau Ubin’s peaceful mangroves, perfect for spotting wildlifeTake a break from paddling with a short hike up Puaka Hill—the highest point in Ubin—for panoramic island viewsVisit a local kelong and purchase fresh seafood straight from the sourcePet-friendly adventure—bring your dog along for the ride!Beginner-friendly with all equipment and safety coverage providedSpecial Birthday CelebrationsCelebrating a birthday?

For dogs, are dog-backpacks (the k9 backpack) possible instead of enclosed carriers? We use that when taking her in grabs and such.

Dan, 10 Mar 2025

Hi Dan. For this experience, the safest option would be to use an enclosed carrier to avoid having to charter a whole boat. Some bumboats do allow non-enclosed carriers, but others don’t. If non-enclosed carriers aren’t allowed by the operator on the day, you would need to charter a whole boat instead.

Can we choose a sit-in kayak or are we only allowed sit on top kayaks?

Claudia, 27 Sep 2023

Hi Claudia, you will be provided with double sit on top kayaks :) Hope it helps!

Hi is there a place we can wash up/clean up after the activity? How wet would we get?

May, 21 Aug 2023

Hi May, there are toilets with taps on the island for them to wash their feet. No shower facilities, the nearest shower facility will be at Changi beach park. The host usually let customers know to prepare to get wet. But you'll get wet specially the lower half of your body!

Hi we have 4 adults and 2 kids. Can the kids share a kayak with each pair of adults and do they pay the same price?

En, 11 Aug 2023

Hi En, yes kids can share a kayak with an adult and for price yes they're counted as normal headcount.
