Chek Jawa Boardwalk trip with the Naked Hermit Crabs

No need to get your feet wet. Come and join us at our monthly boardwalk trip to Chek Jawa

There will be lots to discover for both kids and grown-ups. Find out more about the fiddler crabs, giant mudskippers, Oriental Pied Hornbills, coastal mangrove trees, and much more.

Pre-registration is needed. Please write to nakedhermitcrabs@gmail.com and let us know how big your group is.

As always, we request that you come in small family and friend groups. We have only a couple of volunteer guides, so we can cope with a limited number of people for each trip. Thanks for your understanding!

Date: Sunday, 28 June 2009

Time: 3 pm meet at the Chek Jawa Info Kiosk

Duration: Two hours

Cost: no charge for now

What to expect from the Sentosa shore walk?
1) Your shoes will get wet. We will be walking in ankle-high water in the inter-tidal zone. It is NOT a walk on a sandy beach.
2) It is a 1.5 to 2 hour nature walk
3) You will see lots of inter-tidal marine and plant life, including corals, crabs, fishes, seagrasses.
4) Read more about our past Sentosa shore walks and see photos to get a better idea of what to expect. Click here.

Do I have to pay for the walk?
No, you don't to pay the Crabs for the nature walks. Transitions Optical has sponsored these walks and so it is free for you. You will however have to pay for the standard entry fees into Sentosa.

Do write in soon as places run out quickly.

Hot and Humid May

The last day of May was unrelentless in its heat and humidity. We thought it was deterrent enough for the typical air-conditioner-loving Singaporean, and so we were not sure how many people will turn up at our Chek Jawa Boardwalk trip. But we were pleasantly surprised. 45 people came!
