Go for a relaxing walk along Chek Jawa wetlands' Mangrove Walk and Coastal Walk. There is a shelter in the middle of coastal walk where you can enjoy cool breeze and see the flying planes. A great place to relax!

One of the best temples I have ever step foot in Singapore so far. The family was so dedicated in keeping the place spick and span, and the Buddhist statues and structures was top notch. It was great understanding the significance this place plays to the residents of Pulau Ubin being a staunch Buddhist myself. Do prepare a voluntary donation to the temple as you would feel obliged to do so after seeing the hard work of the family.

Thanks to COVID restrictions I have been unable to travel out of Singapore for almost 8 months now. So I decided to take a bum-boat from Changi Point to Ubin. It cost me $5.00 one-way. Upon arrival at the main jetty, you are immediately transported back in time. The island is rustic, unspoilt and you get nature at your doorstep. You feel like you're back in a kampong (village) in the 1960's. Rent a bike to explore the whole island. The boardwalk at Cek Jawa is worth a visit. Watch out for monkeys who will not hesistate to steal your food. There are a few restaurants where you can have lunch and get your drinks. The prices, as expected, are a bit higher than in the mainland. All in all, a very pleasant day.

I agree with Ms takumi Hirohito. If u visit the Great wall of China without studying the wall's history or significance in the earlier years, the wall will be some granite stones. The humble temple has rich history and contain the rich legacy of pilau ubin. Religiously, the temple is also a part of our Asian believes. Tao religion. Personally, I visit the temple from mainland singapore once every 2 to 3 months to pay respect to German lady. Must visit if u are around pilau ubin.

Take “bumboats” to the island from Changi Point Ferry Terminal. The prices have risen since the circuit breaker. I guess it’s a COVID tax? It’s now $4 per person, and $2 for each bike each way, supposedly because of “social distancing.” If you see our boat pic below, we are paying for the social distancing but not ACTUALLY getting the distancing part!! Seems like just a way to squeeze more money out of customers without actually caring about social distancing. The loop from the boat dock to the trail around the quarry and back is approximately 15K, depending if you want to take the blue square trails on the way to the black diamond trails around the backside of the quarry. While you could theoretically ride the more difficult trails with a rental, they’re slightly challenging and can be dangerous. Lots of rocks, steep climbs/ascents, and roots. This isn’t the place to ride above your skill level. Although everything is relative. Anywhere else in the world these trails would not be black diamond, and certainly not double black diamond. But, remember, you’re on an island, on an isolated trail- medical attention could take a while to reach you. Hopefully one of the Police boats with 3/300HP outboards bring you the medical personnel, because the bumboats move slower than you can swim. At a moderate pace you should finish in 1-2 hours. The quarry trails aren’t as affected by heavy rains as the blue squares. Those seem to cut through marsh areas. Currently, if you’re on the blue trails, beware-there are some washed out spots with a hole or two that will swallow your front tire and spit you out over the handlebars. There is some deep mud on those trails too, which is fun if that’s your thing. I would skip the quarry trail with kids unless they have experience riding elsewhere. Overall, great trails-better than Bukit Tima, Chestnut, and Kent Ridge IMHO.
