Conference Excursions

You are all travelling all this way to heart of Asia, so a taste of Singapore is a must! We have organised three excursion options, hopefully something to suit everyone. Below each excursion is outline, along with the associated small fee to cover the transport costs. Do note, there will be limited numbers on each excursion, so do express interest and sign up as soon as you know which one inspires you the most! We will take payment in cash on the day.

Excursion 1: Visit to Pulau Ubin

Take a scenic walk along the Changi Point Coastal Walk followed by a ferry ride to the luscious island of Pulau Ubin. On arrival, we will enjoy the views on the island by bike, taking a trip to the Chek Jawa Wetlands, one of Singapore’s richest ecosystems. Here you are free to enjoy the views from the 1 kilometre boardwalk or Jejawi Tower. Before the return ferry journey there will be the chance to explore the shops and eateries on the island.

In the event of especially adverse weather we will have an alternative excursion planned taking guests to the local Changi Chapel and Museum which is dedicated to the Japanese occupation of Singapore.

Total Cost per person: $20
including travel to and from the ferry port, the ferry crossing, and bike rental

Excursion 2: Visit to Chinatown

Embrace the hustle and bustle of the historic Chinatown area. We will explore the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum. Please note, out of respect for the temple, please come in appropriate attire (no bare backs, shorts or mini-skirts). For those of you who enjoy shopping, there will be plentiful opportunities to explore the markets. Not to mention ample photographic opportunities of breath-taking Chinese, but also Hindu, temples and mosques.
