It’s a go-to spot for cyclists and hikers with miles of nature trails that weave through old rubber plantations and seaside ecosystems no longer found on the main island. Get there from Changi Point Ferry Terminal via a traditional bumboat for $2.50 a seat – captains will leave only when all seats are sold or if you pay the difference. « less

2 dollars on the Changi Bum Boat and you're in an untouched part of Singapore. Real authentic local food, bike hire, and a chilled place. If you're into the mountain biking please visit the track is superb, love the place and all of its treats. Go now before a tower block is built! More

Mosquitoes due to rains, food at Celestial resort and useless staff made our stay terrible. Our stay was for one night and the very next morning by 5:00am we were ready to return to Singapore due to the terrible experience! More

You can't find something like that anymore. Rent a bike on the island, and ask the bike shop guy for a map and some advice. Be careful about the occasional car and steep slopes though. Chek Jawa is awesome. More

This is the only rustic place left in Singapore. Only place where you can find villages, do trail cycling and see quarry lakes. . More

Discovered this island while exploring options for Singapore activities other than the typical shopping and ethnic neighborhood visits. It is very nice to know Singapore residents hand this retreat to nature available to them. Bicycle rentals are readily available, and there are opportunities for bird sightings (herons and others). To get there, take bum boat for $2.50 each way from... More

We have been out to Pulau Ubin three times over the last 10 months. It is a wonderful escape from Modern singapore. It is very relaxed with little to do, but ride around quite country roads and eat cheap, good seafood. The wetland area (a natural park) is worth a visit.The kids love seeing the monitor lizards, monkeys and wild... More

Everything abt going back to this island is primitive. From the bumboats to the bicycles, loads of hiking. Away from the city away from civilisation, absolutely must go if you just want an island that is raw and filled with nature. More
