Outing to Palau Ubin


Just to share some info.

Carpark 6 will have a better eastward orientation for sunrise. On 17 Dec, low tide (1.5m, not very low too) is 9:35am. So tide is still going out, not sure how much beach and sand available.


Thanks bro for the info. So guys, shall we meet carpark 6?
 

I think walking is alright under normal circumstances. We should be in Ubin by 8am after our sunrise shoot. But as we will hv our tripods, camera gears, water and such, this means we have additional weight to carry. So its not being fit but can we all tahan the heat after 9am? And we will definately move slowly cause we will snap snap and snap. So reaching the mangrove or Chek Jawa could be a challenging goal. So if we took the van, we will buy time and spend the morning at mangrove or Chek Jawa to take more pictures. Alternative, if we want to save money, we can just take pics around the jetty and the spice garden (takes one half hour to complete). Head back to mainland, have our makan session and chit chat and share ideas and interests. Just my two cents arh....I think Aunty me is game enough to take the challenge of walking...the most i skive and wait for you guys to collect me on the way back to jetty ;)

I think it will be a good idea to decide where we want to go in Ubin, what we want to shoot and plan our route accordingly. Then we can decide what lens to bring.

- The bum boat will leave when there are 12 person. Each trip is $2.50 (to be paid to the uncle)

How to get to Chek Jawa?

At Ubin Jetty, you can hire a van to take you there. The vans usually charge $2/person for 12 persons, one-way. The van will drop you off at Punai Hut and you'll have to walk the rest of the way to the Chek Jawa Information Kiosk and entrance to the boardwalk.

Impt: I will update this thread on the actual morning at 0600hrs on the weather. Any cancellation to this trip, this thread shall be updated.

Thank you.

Sorry I have to pull out due to work-related issue. Will join you guys next round!
 

Hi:)

Just to share mine experience, I went Ubin on Wed 14th Dec. Love the rural feel of the place.
I walked from the Jetty to Chek Jawa and the distance is quite exhausting therefore do beware, prep enough water but do not drink excessively, go toilet break before the hike (especially for the ladies) and sleep well the nite before.
Have Fun:)
