Take a ferry (cost only $2) to Pulau Ubin and explore the island. (Yes, Ubin is part of Singapore. dur …) Grab a Ubin map and then rent a bicycle or a worn out motocycle from the shops near the jetty. Try taking a taxi if you can find one, they can climb rough terrains better than jeeps. Explore some of the Malay kampungs and abandoned prawn farms.

There are very few houses left on this island as most of the Ubin population have relocated to the main island. So best to carry insect repellent as those hungry mosquitos will detect the first human scent and will replenish their blood bank as much as they can. There are no Ubin resorts in this island but there is one Chek Jawa summer cottage for you to visit for free. If you really need chalets in Ubin, bring and build your own along the lagoon.
