Great fun even for beginners. Fantastic friendly team.
“Something other people don’t do in Singapore” is what I googled to find this fun adventure. We had a fantastic time with our guide Joe and met some lovely new friends. Joe knew all the local history and fun facts that he shared along the way. You need to read the information about getting to Pulau Ubin on time. The boats only leave when there are 12 passengers so give yourself time. It’s $4 per person each way and a very short walk to find the Adventure Kayaking building. There’s a good seafood restaurant if you’re hungry after paddling. Take some cash with you as there is a stop where you can buy drinks. The coconuts are worth trying too. Paddling can get tiring but there are lots of rests and time to explore. We saw Hornbills and a beautiful big Lizard lazing in the sun on a branch. Thankyou to Joe and the team for such a great experience.

A Lovely Experience
A great morning kayaking around the mangroves of Pulau Ubin. Our guide was knowledgeable, competent, and very entertaining. It was very relaxed, and we saw eagles, all sorts of strange fish, learnt about the local fish farm and boat yards, and had a great time. It is about an hour to the location from the centre of the city, but well worth the journey. My children thoroughly enjoyed it, and I would happily do it again if I come back.

Must be strong and healthy to carry the boat, People who are healthy enough to row. Is not sufficient. Must be able to carry the boat with the help of your partner.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore cost?
+
Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.
Is Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 149 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore?
+
Around 52 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mangrove Kayaking Adventure in Singapore start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Singapore?
+
On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Singapore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Singapore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
