The Mission
To take a step back in time with a short boat trip to a rustic island that offers a glimpse into what Singapore was like in the 1960s.
Itinerary Highlights
- Bumboat Ride: The experience starts with the traditional, no-frills boat ride from Changi Point Ferry Terminal.
- Cycling: Rent a bicycle upon arrival; it's the best way to explore the island's lush forests and coastal paths.
- Chek Jawa Wetlands: Cycle to this unique coastal area where six major habitats meet. Explore the boardwalks and the viewing tower.
✅ What to Bring
- Supplies: Insect repellent is a must. Bring sunscreen and plenty of water.
- Money: Bring enough cash for the boat ride (they don't give change) and for bike rental/food, as there are no ATMs on the island.
- Clothing: Light, comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes.
The Payoff
A refreshing escape from the modern city, offering a unique blend of nature, history, and simple, rustic charm.
