Pulau Ubin Singapore 2025 - Part 2 - Chek Jawa Boardwalks

After hiking up Puaka Hill and resting at Ah Ma Drinks stall, we decided to head to our next destination at Chek Jawa. It is on the far eastern end of Pulau Ubin, we had a weak estimation of the destination, we thought we could walk from Ah Ma drinks stall to Chek Jawa in 45 mins but it actually took us almost one and half hour of walking. Wish we could hitch a van ride but the van were fully booked.

We really regret having this idea of walking from Puaka Hill to Chek Jawa hahaha but at the end of the day, we were saved by a kind van driver.

At first the walk was fine, we could see many pretty houses and flowers in the area.

There are actually people staying in the houses.

Wish we could ride in the van to take us to Chek Jawa hahaha but too bad they were full.

Along the way we saw many atttap seeds, used mainly as toppings to drinks in South East Asia.

Finally after almost one and half hour, we arrived at Chek Jawa. We were really tired and beginning to worry about the walk back to the Jetty.

Saw many monkeys in the forested area.

The boardwalk at Chek Jawa along the coast facing Changi Airport.

We could see many planes from here.

We could even zoom on the control tower in Changi Airport.

Very nice weather and cooling to walk on this cloudy and windy day. Glad the sun was hiding in the clouds.

There's two boardwalk at Chek Jawa, one facing Changi Airport along the coast and the other along the mangrove , which we did not attempt to walk.

After exiting Chek Jawa boardwalk, we saw some van drivers at the entrance of Chek Jawa , we quickly asked if we could board the van but they were fully booked by others. But one kind driver help us called his sister to fetch us. So we paid $3 per person for the van ride from Chek Jawa to the Jetty. Suddenly there are others also wanted to take the van too. Soon the van is full. We were so lucky to be able to ride the van  and save all our leg power hahaha.

Phone number of Van driver incase anyone need to book the van to ferry around the island.

It was lunch time and we were so tired and hungry, we rest and took our lunch at one of the restaurant near the ferry terminal.

Kampong Chicken, it tasted so good with the ginger, chinese wine and sesame oil.

Sambal Kangkong

Fried omelette

Steamed fish

Will be awhile before we will return to visit Pulau Ubin again.

Pulau Ubin Singapore 2025 - Part 1 - Climbing Puaka Hill

This is my second time visiting Pulau Ubin in Singapore. We took the bumboat from Changi Point Ferry Terminal. Need about 12 people in the boat for the boat to start sailing to Pulau Ubin.

We were a group of 5 people and easily able to have 12 people including some outsiders to fill the bumboat. The boat started in no time travelling to Pulau Ubin. The fare is S$4 per person.

We reached Pulau Ubin in about 10 minutes.

On arrival in Pulau Ubin, we headed straight to Puaka Hill, is about 20 to 30 minutes walk from the ferry.

The entrance of Puaka Hill is just opposite the famous Ah Ma drink stall.

It is not easy climbing up the hill as there are lots of mosquitoes (even insect repellent is not effective fighting off the mosquitoes) and the path is quite narrow with no proper steps. Not advisable to climb during raining days.

Halfway up, we could see the beautiful quarry (no longer in use).

Short video of us climbing the hill, yes I was the one with the red umbrella haha, use the umbrella to support my climbing. It was just only 10 minutes climb but the mosquitoes were feasting on us.

After taking lots of photos, we made our way down the hill and stop at Ah Ma drink stall for some fresh coconut drinks.

Behind Ah Ma drink stall is a small stream leading to the sea.

Next Post Part 2 - Long walk from Puaka Hill to Chek Jawa, a decision we almost regret hahaha
