Ferry Schedule

With effect from Jun 2007, the ferry capacity from Marina South Pier had reduced to 45 persons and so the students are strongly encouraged to take Our chartered ferry from Marina South Pier in the course confirmation email.  The cost of the chartered ferry will be shared amongst participants by dana.

How to get to Marina South Pier:
Take the MRT to Marina Bay Station (NS27), use Exit A, then board Bus Service 402 from the bus stop outside the station to Marina South Pier.  To view the map of MS Pier or go by bus, please click here.

On Weekday at the Marina South Pier, you can take the public ferry service which will depart either at 10.00 am or 2.00 pm daily (Monday to Friday).  Please note that the last ferry leaving St John's Island is at 3.15 pm.

There are 3 departure times on Saturday from Marina South Pier (9am, 12pm & 3pm) while last ferry leaving St John's Island is at 4.15pm.

On Sunday, there are 5 departure times from Marina South Pier (9am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm & 5pm) while last ferry leaving St John's Island is at 6.15pm.  Please click here for the ferry schedule.

The ticket price is S$15 / Adult, S$12 / Child (aged 1-12 years old).  For details of public ferry ticket booking, please click here.  Due to limited capacity, kindly purchase the public ferry days in advance in order to confirm seat and arrive half an hour before departure time.  Hence, students are strongly encouraged to take Our Chartered Ferry.

It will take about 1½ hours to arrive at St. John’s Island (en route Kusu Island). Dhamma Servers will be there to guide you to the campsite.

Students are advised to bring or take their own lunch as no lunch meal will be provided on the first day and there is no cafeteria on the island.  

St John's Island (previously known as Pulau Sekijang Bendara) is  located approximately 6.5km south of Singapore.
