Puteri Harbour Sunset Cruise: Singapore-Straits Views, Kelong Farms & Mangrove Option

The Experience
Before You Go
Tide-dependent Mangrove Stops
Mangrove detours are only possible at high tide—request it when you book and confirm with the captain before boarding.
No Onboard Toilet
Use marina facilities before boarding — the vessel has no toilet and trips are short but non-stop.
Carry ID and Sign Forms
All passengers must provide names and ID (passport or local ID) and sign an indemnity form prior to departure.
Sun and Spray Protection
Bring sunscreen, a lightweight windbreaker, and secure sunglasses; open decks expose you to sun and sea spray even on calm evenings.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Close-up views of traditional kelong mussel farms that line the strait at low speed

Conservation Note
Mangrove fringes here are important nursery habitat—avoid disturbing birds or feeding wildlife and follow the crew’s guidance to minimize wake and shoreline disturbance.
The Straits of Johor have long supported fishing and small-scale aquaculture; Puteri Harbour itself is a recent waterfront development in Iskandar Puteri built around leisure marinas and regional connectivity.
