	Choosin' the perfect bike for yourself Tip Rating:

Updated By bpacker on December 16, 2004

Pulau Ubin Page by bpacker

by bpacker

There's about 4 or 5 bike shops littered around the jetty around so choosing a bike shouldn't be a problem. Just remember to bring some kind of identification of yourself for the rental. And check ....
1)the suspension of course - Trust me, it is no fun wobbling your cellulite on those rocky trails.
2) the brakes..I nearly killed a wild boar once when my brakes failed me. Luckily for the pig, i swerved and ended in a ditch instead. Now, that's what I call bad luck with a road hog.

Cost
$5-$6 for half a day's usage.

Ubin Quarry

by bpacker

And off you go on your bike, along the way, you'll discover hidden gems like this disused quiet quarry over here. It makes such a pretty picture that you can almost imagine a swordsman appearing out of nowhere to skim over the waters to the beat of some Chinese drums..

	Grabbing a Map of the island Tip Rating:

Ok, so much for rustic...

by bpacker

Upon reaching the island, you'll find an info kiosk not too far from the jetty. Approach those officers there for a map of Pulau Ubin or sign up for one of their cool guided tours (free, every 4th Sunday of the month)

Of course, if you're bloody *** like me, you can always print out a map before you go. Click on the link and print.

	Planning your exploratory route Tip Rating:

As you look at the map, you'll find out that there's little private beaches to explore and nooks and crannies ideal for roughing it out a mountain bike. So what is the next thing you do? Search for a bike rental shop of course...

	Bumpy Bum Boat Ride Tip Rating:

Updated By bpacker on December 28, 2004

Hoppin' into P Ubin Jetty

by bpacker

Pulau Ubin is so rustic that the only way to get there is via a bum boat ride that is gauranteed to give your cellulite a good workout. Yup, most of these boatman think nothing about riding the waves like a cowboy so brace yourself for a bumpy ride to Pulau Ubin.
To find all of em' water cowboys, go to Changi Jetty. You'll find lots of boats moored there. Holler to a willing chap. If luck is on your side, there'll be a waiting boat there, close to the steps. If not, you'll need to hop from one boat to another to reach it. Some dexterity is needed here but you don't need to be Spiderman. I've seen grannies leaping effortlessly sometimes.
The ride cost a rustic S$2 per way and there are no fixed times for departure. Those water cowboys leave only when there are enough passengers in his boat. Yee-ha...

Pulau Ubin Community Centre

by imstress

The Community Centre in Pulau Ubin started as a community hall made of zinc and wood. It was built in 1961 with contributions from residents. In 1966 it was converted into a Community Centre.

In addition to community activities, kindergarten classes were also held there. The Community Centre was renovated in 1993. The basketball court in front of the Community Centre also hosted movie screenings for residents.

	Kekek Quarry Tip Rating:

Kekek Quarry

by icyjo24

After visiting the Ubin Quarry, continue cycling til you see two different paths. Take the path on the right, Jalan Wat Siam and continue cycling to the end of the path. There a fence that has been partially torn down by some trespassers probably. You can 'sneak' into this quarry from the opening and have some nice views of the Kekek Quarry. This is the smallest quarry of Pulau Ubin. Refrain from swimming in any quarry. The water is misleadingly calm. It is dangerous as the water is deep.. what i heard was it was as deep as the length of a few soccer fields!!!

	Old Telephone Booth Tip Rating:

Old Public Telephone Booth

by icyjo24

This telephone booth is found near the jetty. I believed this is the last of such a booth in Singapore. In the 1970s and early 1980s, this kind of public telephone booths is common around the main island but the design of the booth has been changed sometime in the late 1980s.

	Bukit Puaka Tip Rating:

View from Bukit Puaka

by imstress

Bukit Puaka is the tallest point on Ubin.
At 74m tall, it overlooks the Ubin Granite Quarry with scenic views of Singapore and Malaysia.

The entrance to the trail up the hill is not marked so as to discourage visitors to the narrow and steep trail.

There are 4 stations along the trail, each with a different view of the quarry and surrounding areas.

	Wayang Stage Tip Rating:

Chinese Opera Stage

by imstress

The Wayang Stage at the centre of Ubin Town has had a colourful history. The stage is sometimes used to house large dinners in Ubin Town and is the focus of other major events on the island.

The Wayang Stage comes alive in the Seventh Lunar Month or Hungry Ghost Festival.

Wayang or Chinese opera performances are held, with empty seats left at the front for the dead spirits. This is not a special performance put up for the public, but a part of the way of life of the residents of Ubin.
