Kayak a Secret Mangrove
With the House's stunning location right by the water's edge, we offer private kayak expeditions from Changi to Pulau Ubin, or simpler tours to the nearby Changi Creek. You'll be led by an experienced and qualified guide from Ninja Kayakers. After your trip, return for a complimentary hot shower, ice bath, and cold drink!
EXPEDITIONS from Changi to Ubin mangroves (and back) are 4h and cross the Ubin straits. Lunch is served around noon. Beginners are okay to do this but as the route is 6km long, medium fitness is required.
TOURS to the nearby Changi Creek are 2h long and are suited for beginners who want an easy paddle. This can be upgraded (free-of-charge) to a Mangrove Clean-Up, for corporates or interested participants.
Recommended start time for either option is 0900h. After your adventure, shower in the comfort of the House, then soak off the heat in an ice bath (optional $200 upgrade). Or simply enjoy a well-earned drink as you reflect and rave about the morning well spent on water!
