Heartlander Turbocharged July 27, 2019 Share July 27, 2019 Anyone here got any idea what time the bicycle rental shops open in Pulau Ubin on Sundays .... can’t seem to be able to get info Using google map, only the first shop listed 8 to 6pm. I assume is 8am to 6pm. The rest should be similar. What I remember the shops open quite early. There are phone numbers to call. Two weekends ago where I cycled to Changi Village, I spotted a family of otters munching on big fishes and rolling on the sandy beach just opposite the Ubin jetty. See if you got luck when there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanCoe Hypersonic July 27, 2019 Share July 27, 2019 tks bro, have contacted by FB one of them... finally one chap whom says he opens at 7.30-8am on the main road there Wanted to start early like before 7am as the sun is really unforgiving this few days and want to leave Ubin by around 10am I've seen otters just sunbathing on the coast just near the entrance to cargo complex side, was like 3 of them Using google map, only the first shop listed 8 to 6pm.

I am not sure you are aware of this Sensory Trail just right of the jetty. Worth to spend some time cycling along the trail to get to know about the floral and fauna. You could pluck rambutans if in season as got rambutan trees there, think should be legit haha. And perhaps can aim for low tide when exploring the Chek Java walk circuit to see more marine staff. If going during high tide, the area is just a body of water. Enjoy your trip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xers007 Supercharged July 29, 2019 Share July 29, 2019 Once you get out of the boat onto the jetty, the Sensory Trail is on the right side of the jetty. But you have to go left side to rent the bicycles then cycle back. I remember there are also a few durian trees along the trail. Can try to look for drop durians. Legit to take as it was announced already the durians do not belong to islanders. Good luck haha. All fruits that dont belong to the islander belongs to ah gong NParks, cannot take legally. Anyway dont think anyone there to enforce. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
