Tour of island of Pulau Ubin by boat

Arell_G, Apr 2026

It was very hard to find the start point of the tour and Viator does not leave a clear explanation. However, Robin was excellent and the tour was interesting, enjoyable and informative. He knew so much about the area and Singapore pre-urbanization.

Amazing trip! Saw and learnt so much on this tour

Tetiana_C, Sep 2024

My trip to Singapore wouldn't be complete without this boat tour! We got to see the borders of Singapore and learnt so much about the country, its ports, exports and imports - it was so much more than just a fish farm tour. The boat trip itself was a delight with the wind in your face which was so refreshing after the hot city weather. We ended a tour with a delicious fish dinner from one of the farms. Robin - our captain and tour guide was very knowledgable and attentive. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who travels or lives in Singapore!

Fantastic Singapore Boat Trip

Laura_A, Jan 2024

We had a fantastic boat tour with Robyn. It was really interesting to see a new side of Singapore including its nature, sustainable fisheries, and other islands. Robyn is so knowledgeable and friendly, and he taught us a lot about Singapore’s history and culture. Plus it was so nice to cruise around by boat and enjoy the outdoors. We recommend this tour without hesitation! Thank you, Robyn!

A few surprises and lots of stories

Steve_E, Nov 2023

Great stories of Singapores' journey as seen through Robin's eyes. Robyn's knowledge was fantastic, and the way he made you feel, you can understand the difficulties and good times the people have been through and why they are this way: courteous, diligent, friendly, helpful, hard-lined, and sometimes strict on cultural disciplines. Singaporeans want you to fit in with them. This was emotionally moving for me as I lived in Singapore forty years ago. It brought back long lost memories of my time on the waters around Singapore. Thanks Robin.

Great way to see things from the water ways.

MsM_W, Nov 2023

We were very fortunate to have Robin as our captain and only 4 people. He was very informative, happy to chat to us and share information. Very helpful and even dropped us to the MRT station. Great day out.

Catamaran Tour

The trip toward Pulau Ubin provides a different perspective, from the water, was very informative, but also very refreshing and relaxing!
