Pulau Ubin Night Adventure
Starry Night Kayak Fishing at Pulau Ubin
Cast your line under the stars and discover Singapore's last wild coastline after dark.
This night kayak fishing experience at Pulau Ubin takes you onto the quiet waters of the Johor Straits just as the sun dips below the horizon, when predatory fish begin to stir and the island's silhouette softens into shadow and starlight.
Departing from Pasir Ris as dusk settles, participants paddle Hobie pedal-drive kayaks toward the kelongs — Singapore's last remaining floating fish farms — where wild barramundi, mangrove jack, and grouper gather in the dark to feed. Guides use sonar to help locate fish, and each kayak is fitted with a marine navigation light visible from over two nautical miles away.
The experience is designed around the rhythm of the night. There is no midday heat, no sunscreen required, and the pace is unhurried. Fishing sessions are interspersed with moments to absorb the rare stillness of Ubin's coastline under moonlight, a landscape that few visitors ever encounter.
At the end of the session, the option exists to have your catch prepared and cooked at a rustic seaside kampong on Pulau Ubin — a privately arranged setting that provides a direct connection to the island's maritime culture and fishing heritage.
Tour Highlights
Fish the waters around Singapore's last working kelongs after dark, when wild species are most active and feeding.
Navigate on Hobie pedal-drive kayaks — an intuitive, hands-free propulsion system that keeps both hands free for fishing.
Every kayak is equipped with a marine navigation light and waterproof headlamp, ensuring group safety throughout the night crossing.
Guides use sonar technology to locate fish beneath the surface, significantly improving your chances of a successful catch.
Explore the waters around Pulau Ubin's kampong coastline — a living heritage site that retains the texture of old Singapore.
Optional post-fishing meal at a rustic kampong setting on Ubin, where your catch is prepared fresh and served by the water.
Begin the trip against the backdrop of a sunset over the Johor Straits and return to shore under a sky full of stars.

This experience takes place on the coastal waters between Pasir Ris, in the east of mainland Singapore, and Pulau Ubin — a largely undeveloped island in the Johor Straits that retains much of its original kampong character. The Johor Straits separates Singapore from Peninsular Malaysia and provides sheltered, calm water that is well-suited to night kayaking. Pulau Ubin is known for its biodiversity, mangrove ecosystems, and the presence of traditional kelongs — elevated wooden platforms built over the sea that serve as fish farms and fishing stations. The kelongs in this area are among the last of their kind in Singapore and represent a significant piece of the country's maritime and fishing heritage. Pasir Ris Park, the departure point, is a well-connected recreational park on Singapore's northeastern coast with public transport links via Pasir Ris MRT station on the East-West Line.
