Tour synopsis:

On this 4-hour tour we will explore the island and its wilderness areas by bike from east to west, from House No.1 at Chek Jawa to the Shrine of the German Girl. Soak in the rustic charm of abandoned coconut and rubber plantations, forgotten cemeteries and overgrown vegetable gardens. From wild boars to hornbills, from snakes to mudskippers, Pulau Ubin also boasts an amazing richness of wildlife. Look out for these creatures as we explore the island on our bikes.

Although it will be a leisurely ride with occasional stops along the way, a reasonable amount of fitness is required.
