A young Singaporean, Syazwan Majid, has created an easy guide to follow for those who might have questions about how they can visit Pulau Ubin during Phase 2.
The 23-year-old is no stranger to Pulau Ubin as his grandparents used to reside in Kampong Surau on the island, he told Mothership.
As Singapore enters Phase 2, people are now allowed to head out and about again.
If you are thinking of visiting Pulau Ubin, Syazwan has posted a simple guide with eight photos online.
1. One-way bumboat rides are now S$4 per pax
In the past, when you embark on bumboats to Pulau Ubin from Changi Point Ferry Terminal at Changi Village, a single bumboat's maximum capacity would be 12 people and would cost S$3 per person for a single trip.
With safe distancing measures in place, the bumboats can only accommodate a maximum of nine people, with a cost of S$4 per ride per person.

2. Bicycle kiosks and eateries now open
In Phase 2, the bicycle rental shops are allowed to resume operations and therefore, you can rent bicycles when you get to the island.
Just make sure that that you practice social distancing when you are trying out bicycles at the store.

Syazwan also pointed out that the eateries on the island have resumed operation.
Without a constant influx of visitors due to travel restrictions, the businesses of Pulau Ubin residents have been affected.
He encourages people to support the chefs and cooks of the island during this trying period.

During the Circuit Breaker period, three men who kayaked together and camped at Pulau Ubin were jailed for four weeks and fined.
4. Abide by Covid-19 rules on Pulau Ubin
Just as on the main island of Singapore, you can have a maximum of five visitors per home at one time.

While it might be tempting to bring a large group of people to enjoy the beauty of Ubin, a maximum of five people per group still applies.
