I’ve been calling the Pulau Ubin Hotline monthly ever since the opening of the new amenities at Chek Jawa Wetlands in July this year to book for the guided tour. The guided tour seems to be fully booked every time I called them. The last time I called them was in early October, and they said it was fully booked till the end of the year.

Received the SAFRA newsletter earlier this month and realized that they too have a Check Jawa Expedition in November. Already signed up my whole family for the package which cost $32 each. The event is already fully booked right now.

Realized that the date of this expedition is not one of the guided walk dates published in NPB website, so I guess it’s not exactly the same as the published ones. One thing I’m quite confused is that, according to the tide table,  the low tide at Pulau Ubin is in the evening around that period. So not sure whether we’ll see anything interesting then.

Anyway, still looking forward to the expedition.

New amenities at Chek Jawa Wetlands, Pulau Ubin have been opened to the public from Sunday, 8 July 2007, which will allow visitors to conduct their own DIY tour of Chek Jawa every day of the week. The amenities, including a visitor centre with viewing jetty, over 1 km of boardwalk (Mangrove and Coastal Loops), and the 21-metre Jejawi Tower, are part of a long-term sustainable visitor management plan to protect the rich biodiversity there.
