The journey begins with a short length of open sea kayaking before entering the mangroves. You will immediately notice a sharp difference between the choppy open sea waves and tranquil calm waters among the mangroves.
Do not be fooled by the peacefulness as inactivity because the mangroves are abuzz with wildlife! For bird-watching enthusiasts, you will be able to spot species such as the Kingfishers, Eagles, Hornbills, Herons and Egrets – and that is just to name a few.

5.00We had an incredible experience with Daniel as our guide! He was fun, professional, and really enjoyed what he was doing. We learned a lot about the mangroves and had a lot of fun along the way! We met some new friends, saw some of the local wildlife (eagles, jellyfish, and lizards), and learned about Singapore’s plans to be more self-sufficient. I would recommend being in decent shape as the kayaking can be difficult, especially between the start point and the river/entrance to the mangroves.
Great way to spend a...

5.00Great experience paddling the mangrove forest. Singapore is a vibrant thriving metropolis but there are access points close to nature - only a 40 min grab from our hotel to the ferry port and a short ride to the island. The tour guides were excellent - Calvin was knowledgeable and extremely skilled. Emily was friendly and encouraging. The wildlife did not disappoint - we saw hornbills, a purple headed heron, eagles, blue kingfishers, and the pinacle of our sightinings was a Black Forest cobra swimming across the water a safe distance ahead. Very worthwhile trip. The only negative is how heartbreaking it is to see all the plastic garbage in the sea - so hard on the animals. South Asia has a very serious pollution issue that must be solved! But this trip and operator are top notch and I highly recommend, even for new kayakers.

5.00The trip was great the island is amazing. Takes a little bit of organising to get to the island, we stayed on Orchard Road and it took about 40 mins in a taxi to get the ferry terminal. You then have to wait for 12 people before the bumb boat will leave there is no guarantee on time therefore please leave plenty of time to get to the island. The bumb boat is an experience on its own and we really enjoyed the ride. The kayak was good, I would say you do need to be reasonably fit as you carry your equipment to the shaw line a couple of mins from the hut and the actual kayak on the return is a little more difficult as we went against the current but still very enjoyable and plenty of opportunity to rest and take your time no rushing. Different capabilities in the session but this was fine too as each person can go at their own pace. Richard was our guide he was great very knowledgeable about the area and patient with everyone. My only negative is that the water is very dirty and it was disappointing to see that the water is not taken care of. I would definitely recommend the trip as it gives a different more authentic experience of Singapore. There is also plenty of options to hire a bike and cycle after if you wish.
