Pulau Ubin

Pulau Ubin is in essence, the last ‘kampung’ (village) in Singapore. A stroll through Ubin takes you back to Singapore in the 1960′s with the simpler pleasures of life. The slow lane starts as soon as you join the queue for the bumboat at Changi. As you arrive, all cares are left behind. Ubin is a great day trip spent walking or pedaling through rustic roads under swaying coconut palms, exploring shady trails in overgrown rubber plantations, checking out secluded beaches and flourishing mangroves.

On Ubin, the food tastes better, air is fresher and sights and sounds so soothing to the soul. Pulau Ubin has unending natural intrigues. Newly-hatched fishes, prawns, crabs and all kinds of burrowing creatures find their home by the mangroves which make up most of the coastline. See the mangrove plants surviving the seawater with the help of their aerial roots.

Away from the coastline, secondary forests are interspersed by small rubber plantations and coconut groves.  The park is an ideal getaway for group activities like cycling, treasure hunts and Family Days. Bird watching and wildlife photography are other activities that can be undertaken.

UBIN LODGE Chalets – Air-conditioned

The Chalets can accommodate 4 people in two rooms. But if you don’t mind roughing it a bit, then with extra mattresses on the floor, 7 can fit in quite comfortably. BBQ facilities and a kitchenette is available for a perfect holiday.
