Unique fun for the adventurous - Unique and fantastic fun. Just the right level of challenge for the fit, active and curious adventurers. We had such a great time learning from such a knowledgeable guide seeing the mangroves and some of the wildlife.
All necessary equipment is provided. Good on emphasis safety with a briefing and explanation of the tour provided. Enough instruction is given so that beginners are able to join in adequately. Moderate fitness recommended.
The guide really does check to make sure you have a good time and to ensure on safety (eg. Storm).
Very different way of enjoying Singapore. Totally enjoyed exploring Pulau Ubin in this way. Look forward to doing it again hopefully!

Fun kayak adventure of Pulau Ubin - Fantastic and unique mangrove kayak adventure. Lots of fun with a knowledgeable guide. The right mix of fun relaxation and challenge. Totally recommend this activity if you love nature, love adventure!
Very well organised and helpful, prepared for all weather conditions. Comprehensive safety briefing provided as well as all the necessary equipment, including life jackets, rinsing area for after your adventure. Fine even for novices due to the care and attention from the team though moderate fitness would be very helpful. I had a really great time (2 adults, 1 teen).
It was such a unique way to enjoy Pulau Ubin/Singapore, peaceful. If lucky you can see some of the wildlife. We saw monitor lizards and river swallows as well kites. There may be small footed otters in the mangroves.

This was a great way to... - This was a great way to get off the beaten track and see the wild side of Singapore. Our leader was entertaining, knowledgeable and made sure we were safe. The kayaking was not difficult. All in all, this was great urban escape adventure

mangrove - It's great.
We go to many places, including the sea, mangroves, and rivers. It feels so good in the mangroves that you forget you're paddling.
We relax in the great outdoors in urban Singapore.
I love Singapore because there are so many things to enjoy.

Fun but come prepared! - It was a great family trip but we did not come prepared. The website should tell travelers to come prepared with a change of clothes (you will get wet when you test the life vest and learn the basic strokes in the water), water shoes (no open toes allowed, you can borrow shoes that others have left behind), sunblock (you are out on the water the entire time with no shade breaks), a hat and some cash to buy a drink at the pitstop (or the guides will pay and you pay them back). We did not see any birds in the mangroves but the mangroves are pretty and peaceful. It was more work than expected but a great memory to take home with us from Singapore.
