What people say, in short
People recommend Pulau Ubin for cycling, nature and a glimpse of old kampong Singapore. You reach it by a short bumboat ride from Changi, then explore on a hired bike or on foot. Suggestions include the Chek Jawa wetlands, birdwatching and the climb up Puaka Hill. It suits an active outing: one says there is little to do unless you hike or cycle, and time suggestions run from half a day to a full day.
