Yes, to ensure comfort and quality, all public tours are capped at 23 participants per slot—enough to fill two public bumboats.

Recent declines in footfall to Pulau Ubin have led to unpredictable waiting times for public bumboat departures, as operators only depart once there are 12 passengers or a total of $48 is met.

​

To ensure a smoother start to the walk, a chartered bumboat option will be offered. If the group agrees, participants may choose to share the additional cost required to meet the $48 charter fee for immediate departure. Wan will also contribute his share.

Yes, the tour is suitable for individuals of all ages. However, it is strongly recommended for guests to be physically and medically fit as there is a considerable amount of walking involved.

The journey from the Pulau Ubin Public Jetty to our furthest and last point of interest, Pulau Ubin Mosque, is roughly 2.5 kilometres, making the total round trip around 5 kilometres.

No, you may not. Guests must book in advance and will join a shared group led by Wan. This ensures your spot is reserved, the group size is managed, and the tour could commence punctually.

​

Please note that while the tours are offered Monday to Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and most Public Holidays, they will only run for confirmed bookings. If there are no registrations for a given day, the guide will not be present at Changi Point Ferry Terminal.

Yes, non-Singaporeans are now welcome to join the Malay KamPUng Heritage Walk, following Wan's attainment of his Singapore Tourism Guide Licence in November 2025.

Payment is to be made upon completion of the tour via cash or Paynow. A Paynow QR code will be presented at the end of the tour.
