Pulau Ubin and Chek Jawa: an expanded access and facilities guide
Maintenance works have closed the Chek Jawa Wetlands Tour and one track while other boardwalks, the tower and visitor centre stay open with standard ferry access from Changi Point.
How we reported this
NParks has suspended the Chek Jawa Wetlands Tour until further notice because of maintenance works on the floating pontoon. One track at Chek Jawa Wetlands is also closed for maintenance until further notice. The remaining boardwalks, Jejawi Tower and Visitor Centre continue to operate daily from 7.00am to 7.00pm.
Access via Changi Point Ferry Terminal
Visitors reach Pulau Ubin by bumboat from Changi Point Ferry Terminal. The terminal lies a three-minute walk from Changi Village Bus Terminal. The crossing itself takes about 10 minutes. No fixed timetable operates, and a driver is called once nine to twelve passengers are ready to depart.
Chek Jawa Wetlands Facilities
The Coastal and Mangrove Boardwalks remain open for walking. Jejawi Tower and the Visitor Centre stay accessible during the listed hours. The suspension affects only the guided tour and the closed track, leaving the other paths available for independent visits.
Weather and Safety Guidance
NParks advises visitors to seek shelter and avoid forested areas during and immediately after bad weather. This guidance applies across the island and helps maintain safe conditions on the open boardwalks and at the tower.
The current restrictions focus on the pontoon and one track, so the rest of the wetlands infrastructure supports continued visits within the daily opening window. Travellers can still plan a day trip using the regular bumboat service from Changi Point Ferry Terminal and explore the open sections of Chek Jawa once on the island. Checking the NParks notices page before travel confirms the latest status of the suspended tour and any additional changes.
