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.
