5 Jun (Sun): Kayaking Sungei Jelutong with Nature Society (Singapore) and Kayakasia

For families and kids! Explore Sungei Jelutong. A gem in the heart of rustic Pulau Ubin, it is one of the most interesting mangrove rivers in Singapore.

A rare opportunity to get close to mangroves!

Come, join us for a leisurely 1-hour guided paddle where our volunteer guides will share interesting facts on the flora and fauna along the river, the importance of our coastal forests, and what we can do to conserve them. This trip is suitable for both adults and children.


Double kayaks will be used for all participants to self-paddle. Participants need to be 8 years old and above. All junior participants under 12 years old must be accompanied by parents or adult guardians on the same kayak. More details will be provided to those who register for the activity.
Date: 5 Jun (Sun)
Time: At intervals from 9m to 3pm. Each trip will last 1.5 hours including safety briefing.
Meeting point: The kayak launching station is located next to Jelutong bridge, near Ah Ma's Drink Stall. About 1km or 20-30min walk from Ubin Jetty (map).
