My Personal Views of Kayaking

It is definitely a Fun Water Sport to enjoy with your Friends & Family but you definitely need a whole lot of endurance and strength to Kayak, but most importantly it's the teamwork and technique so as to travel further at the fastest and least effort.

If you were to kayak wrongly, you are definitely going to waste alot of strength as compared to someone who uses the proper techniques to cover the same distance.

Water Venture Discovery Series

Introduced in 2013, People’s Association Water Venture Discovery Series aims to let Singaporeans appreciate the wildlife and vegetation along the country's waterways. The programme began with the Reservoir Discovery Series. 

 Reservoir Discovery Series

Reservoir Discovery Series is a platform for beginners and veterans alike, to enjoy the sport from a recreational point of view and go past our understanding of our nation’s water catchment areas for the many other objectives they serve. This series offer 4 unique experience for kayaking enthusiasts.

Probably the richest reservoir in terms of biodiversity, Jurong Lake is set amongst a few of Singapore’s landmarks such as the Chinese/Japanese Gardens and the Science Centre. 

 The damming of Sungei Jurong allowed the flourishing of wetlands which now attracts a wide range of wildlife such as the adorable Lineated Barbet, the uncommon Banded Skimmer Dragonfly & even Monitor Lizards which are sometimes mistaken for monster out of a movie!

This suburban landscape was specifically created to integrate a waterfront feature to estates in the area and offer a green escape for residents. 

 Kayaking through this contemporary designed river will allow participants to wander through countless overarching bridges and flank them with scenic park views from either side of the bank!

Lower Seletar Reservoir 8km

Tucked away in the northern reaches of Singapore, this reservoir is one that really goes back to basics and nature. Being one of the oldest reservoirs among the 4 reservoir experiences, Lower Seletar is surrounded by lush greenery and is certainly the most tranquil setting among the lot. 

 A Satellite Earth station, the Seletar airport and a the orchid country golf course are just some of the attractions you can spot along the banks. If you are lucky enough, you might just spot a few of the elusive Smooth-Coated Otters!

Marina Bay 10 km

Explore Singapore’s iconic city skyline which includes Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer, Benjamin Sheares Bridge, F1 pit, Singapore Sports hub etc. 

 Explorers get to see and understand the structure and mechanics behind Singapore’s largest man-made reservoir regulated by the marina barrage with tributaries which stretch all the way up from turf city and even Bishan, this massive water network has many secrets to help it balance waste management, control water level, restrict vessels and sustain bio-diversity in the area.

 Following the success of the Reservoir Discovery Series, Water Venture introduced the Sea Discovery Series to provide an avenue for recreational kayakers to embark on an expedition & explore the neighbouring islands.

Mangrove Discover Series

Mangrove Discovery Series is the latest addition to the Discovery Series programmes. Singapore’s land space used to be made up of over 10% in mangroves but this number has dwindled to under a percent in recent decades due to rapid development and reclamation.

Launched this July, the programme will bring participants through mangrove habitats around Singapore - Sungei Simpang, Sungei Api Api, & Khatib Bongsu.

Other than learning about the history and importance of mangroves for biodiversity to the urban population, participants will get to enjoy the challenge of navigating along Singapore’s coast line, weaving through twisting routes, experience the wide variety of flora and fauna in the mangrove habitat and have lots of fun bonding with fellow participants.
