Kayak Fishing Singapore: Sentosa, East Coast & Southern Islands Tours
Pedal a Hobie fishing kayak through Singapore’s sheltered southern waters to hunt snappers and groupers around Sentosa, East Coast and the Southern Islands. Guided day, sunset and night trips pair Mirage Drive kayaks with local tackle and clear safety instruction.
The Experience
Before You Go
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
The guides work over coral habitat—choose chemical‑free sunscreen and reapply every two hours.
Hydrate and pack light
Bring a labeled water bottle and small dry bag; fatigue from pedaling builds faster under tropical sun.
Watch tides and currents
Ask the guide about tide windows—calmer, shallower water concentrates fish and makes paddling easier.
Secure footwear and grip
Wear reef shoes or sandals with straps—wet decks and slippery reefs make secure footing essential when launching and landing.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Paddle to quieter sandbars off the Southern Islands at low tide for shallow-water casts
- •Early-morning runs near reef edges often see larger snapper feeding before the heat builds
Wildlife
- •Oriental pied hornbill (onshore)
- •Small reef fish and occasional blacktip reef shark in deeper channels
Conservation Note
Stick to no‑take zones and avoid stepping on coral; many operators emphasize catch‑and‑release for size or protected species and use reef‑safe products.
The southern island chain was historically used by Malay and colonial fishermen; Sentosa itself was transformed from a military outpost into a recreation island through mid‑20th century reclamation.
