Kelong trip for kids

  • Quote

Post by super_dad » Wed Jan 02, 2008 5:42 pm

This is one activity that will be an eye opener for city kids. There, they will experience simple and basic living conditions, get close to nature and have a good time making a nuisance of themselves. I have seen dolphins, leatherback turtles, as well as all kinds of fishes.

The best kelong visit is at Sibu Kelongs. There are 4 there, all having more or less the same thing. 2D/1N is at $69 per pax. Children is $38 per head. Food all provided. Ample fresh water and bathing/toilet facilities.
Bookings can be done anytime, as long as there is space on the kelong. It usually is, unless there is a holiday. You can usually call the day before, and someone will pick you up at the Jetty. The numbers are

Kelong Hotboys +6019 7453019
Ah Ngan Kelong +6019 7712879
Ah Yew kelong +6013 7212332
Ah Fatt kelong +6019 7120333

Easy to drive there, and safe parking. The boarding point is Tanjong Leman Jetty. The normal timings are to get to the Jetty (somehow) at 9-9.30am. Boat will pick you and bring you over the kelong. The boat trip is a 30 mins ride. The next day, you will return to the Jetty after final lunch at the Kelong at around 12-1pm. From there, the drive back to Singapore is about 2-3 hours.

Therefore, a very doable activity over the weekend. Go Sat and be back Sun 4-5pm for resting till work and school the next day.

One of them has a website. (the more commercialised one)
check it out.

Yeah...it is cheap and good fun. In fact, I will be leading a troupe of friends up during the 2nd-3rd day of CNY. If you are keen, let me know.

Also, if you need more info, fire away. :P
