A Bangkok bike ride ignited something in Robin and Daniel – a hunger to share Singapore's lesser-known wonders. From a Chinatown shophouse, armed with passion and a touch of grit, they began curating authentic experiences. Little did they know that this leap of faith would ignite an adventure of a lifetime!

Is this experience pet friendly? I have a small poodle who would enjoy this (and be on my lap most of the time)

Hi Sandhya, unfortunately this experience is not pet-friendly according to our host :(

Hi can I check the calendar says it's $143/ person but when trying to book it becomes $286... is there an error with the system?

Zoe, 02 Sep 2024

Hi Zoe, thanks for your question! The pricing you’re seeing is due to our tiered pricing structure. The rate of $143 per person is available for groups of 4 or more guests. For smaller groups, such as just two participants, the rate is $286 per person. Hope this clarifies!

Hey there, I know this is a little last minute but I just got confirmation that a friend from Australia will be visiting SG next week and I was really hoping to take him on this kelong tour. Would Robyn by any chance have an available slot on Wed on 20 March 4 to 7pm? Was hoping he could make an exception for just the 2 of us! (:

Rena Seah, 14 Mar 2024

Hi Rena, we are sorry to inform, Let’s Go Kelong is unavailable on 20th March as captain is away. However, the captain might be available on the 24th March. Could you please email us at chat@seeksophie.com for a personalized assistance, and share the number of pax joining? We could then verify availability with our host :)

My son is 2.5 year old. Can he participate in this Kelong Boat Tour?
