الوصف

Leave the city skyline behind and journey into a quieter, rarely seen side of Singapore — where mangroves, fishing boats, floating homes, traditional kelong structures, and coastal fish farms still tell the story of our maritime past. On this small-group boat tour around Pulau Ubin and the Johor Straits, your licensed local guide and seasoned boat captain brings you through waters that feel worlds away from modern Singapore. Hear stories of disappearing kelongs, old fishing communities, Ubin’s island life, and the narrow stretch of sea separating Singapore from Malaysia. Depending on tide, time of day, and sea activity, you may spot grey herons, fishermen, crab traps, or boats hauling in the day’s catch. Stop at Smith Marine Floating Restaurant, a kelong-style fish farm and seafood restaurant, before cruising back with sea breeze and open coastal views. More than a boat ride, this is a rare chance to experience Singapore’s vanishing coastal heritage before it fades from memory.

    Cruise along the waters around Pulau Ubin without landing on the island. You will pass a rustic kelong that is no longer in operation and learn about the challenges that led to the disappearance of many traditional kelongs. You will then see how close Singapore is to Malaysia across the Johor Straits and hear stories from the past about life along these shared coastal waters. Along the way, catch a glimpse of Outward Bound Singapore’s Pulau Ubin site, where generations of young Singaporeans have experienced outdoor learning, teamwork, and sea-based adventure in one of the country’s last rustic island settings.

    Pass the quiet waters around Pulau Ketam, a small mangrove-fringed island near Pulau Ubin. From the boat, catch a glimpse of rustic wooden floating homes and fishing structures that still exist in Singapore — a rare reminder of an older coastal way of life. Enjoy a peaceful cruise through one of the area’s quieter estuary landscapes, away from the city skyline. Your guide will also share stories of Pulau Ubin’s past as a granite island, and how its resident population has fallen from more than 2,000 in the 1950s and 1960s to only a small community today.

    Visit Smith Marine Floating Restaurant, a floating kelong-style seafood restaurant and fish farm in Singapore waters.

This is also a restroom stop before the return cruise. For morning departures, meals are not available, while drinks are at your own expense. For afternoon departures, meals and drinks are at your own expense. The cruise back is a relaxing time to enjoy the sea breeze, take in the coastal views, and reflect on Singapore’s disappearing kelong heritage.
