Combining exercise with sightseeing, kayaking is an excellent way to explore newfound parts of the world, and you’ll be too busy focussing on staying upright to notice you’re breaking a sweat. Grab your oars and slather on that sunscreen, here are seven of the best places to go kayaking in Singapore.
MacRitchie Reservoir
MacRitchie Reservoir is the oldest reservoir in Singapore and has seen a lot of kayakers pass through its calm waters over the years. Surrounded by 12 hectares of lush greenery, you can rent kayaks and canoes on site, and if your kayaking skills are a little rusty you can even take an orientation course from the Paddle Lodge. Once you’ve pulled your boat into shore you can set out on the beautiful TreeTop walk, to the free-standing suspension bridge, to experience life as the birds do.
Pulau Ubin
If you can only visit one kayaking spot in Singapore, you’ll want to make it Pulau Ubin, an island that’s a 15-minute boat trip off the coast. Adventures By Asian Detours offers up five awesome tours that make choosing a little tricky. From open sea kayaking to manoeuvring through mangroves, and even a cycling and kayaking tour, you can’t really go wrong. While you’re on the island, check out the views from Pekan Quarry and Puaka Hill. You can even sleep out under the stars if you wish… but with so many amazing hotels on the mainland, you probably won’t want to.
The Playground
Adventure tour group Fever offers two to four-kilometre kayak fishing tours through The Playground’s gentle currents. Though it might sound like a coordination commotion, the experience is easy and suitable for beginners. As for the potential catch, you’ll find parrotfish, groupers, snappers and flathead swimming in these parts. If nothing bites, you can always head to JUMBO at Clarke Quay afterwards to fill up on tasty seafood. Read More…
