Pulau Ubin Singapore

Pulau Ubin is a small island situated in the north east of Singapore and is one of the last undeveloped areas of the country. The local people still staying in the dark and there is no such facilities available for daily life, like if you need anything you need to come to Singapore. So if you are planning to go there please carry all your stuffs. Anyway still this place is good for its nature and bird.

There is a story behind the formation of this island. Pulau Ubin was formed when three animals from Singapore (a frog, a pig and an elephant) challenged each other to a race to reach the shores of Johor. The animals that failed would turn to stone. All three came across many difficulties and were unable to reach the shores of Johor. Therefore, the elephant and pig together turned into Pulau Ubin whilst the frog became Pulau Sekudu or Frog Island. One of the most popular aspects of the island is Chek Jawa, a former coral reef that allows visitors to get an up-close glimpse at a variety of marine wildlife. There are several restaurants that specialize in seafood and have amazing views, so don’t worry about going hungry during your day of exploring.

To reach to Pulau Ubin u need to catch boat from Changi Point Ferry Terminal. It will be almost 30 mins boat ride and it will coast you around 2-3$(SGD).

We started from morning around 11am from Changi Ferry point and it took 30mins (approx) to reach Pulau Ubin island.

Cycling is another great way to explore the island. You just need to hire the cycle. The bicycle rental people are helpful as they will provide you the map of the island and the road you need to follow during your bicycle trip and the main places to visit.

We also did the same, hired our bicycle and took the map from them and started our journey.

 

It was a long journey almost 3-4 hrs riding. During your journey you may get corridors.

or sometime you need to ride alone.

Sometimes it may creepy to go through the jungle.

But there is nothing scary. Escape the hustle and bustle of Singapore and enjoy this 4-hour bike ride through scenic Pulau Ubin.

After a long cycle ride it was very important to have good food and we found a good waterside sea food restaurant.

After having food we started toward Singapore. It was a really good day with nature.

Bye Bye pulau Ubin.
