Journey to Ketam Island

Setting off from southern Pulau Ubin, paddle west toward scenic Ketam Island. Along the way, you’ll pass clusters of stilted houses from traditional fishing villages, soaking in the tranquil charm of rural Singapore. Your guide will point out fascinating wildlife you may spot including majestic grey herons, curious water monitor lizards and, with luck, a family of otters swimming nearby. The trip is rich in both natural beauty and insight into local life.

Mangrove Wonders

Ketam Island is famed for its dense and varied mangroves linking distinct sections of the island.
