10 Best Kayak Rental in Singapore to Rent a Kayak From [2024]

A kayak is a small, narrow watercraft that is typically propelled by means of a double-bladed paddle. 

Kayaking is a popular leisure sport in Singapore as you can wind your way through the pristine waters and bask in Singapore’s natural habitat. 

It is important to note that some kayak rental places in Singapore require kayaking certification before you can rent their closed-deck kayaks, as these restrict the movement of the arms and are harder to operate compared to open-deck kayaks.

These certifications come in the form of the Personal Skills Star Award Course, with Stars (e.g. 1 Star Award, 2 Star Award) being awarded for various levels of certified kayaking proficiency.

You can sign up for these certification courses with the Singapore Canoe Federation, the Singapore Sports Hub, or the People’s Association.
