We took the night tour and was completely mesmerized by Hafiz's magic. You have to go to experience it yourself and it is worth every penny and second. We might try the daytime mangrove tour. The river is very pleasant and lovely nature.

The car journey to Lake Kenyir from Kuala Terengganu took us less than two hours. We had prepaid for the Fish Sanctuary experience at RM10 per adult. Upon arrival, we paid RM2 for whole day parking. A boat which we had pre-arranged is already waiting for us. We left the jeti at 910am. There were already people at the Fish Sanctuary when we arrived at 10am. After a briefing, we were taken by our boat up Sg Petang to the start of the walkway. It took us 15 to 30 minutes to reach the natural sanctuary. Midway, we were told to buy fish food at RM2 per packet. (I suspect the fish are feeding only on fish food brought in by visitors like us. Is this right or wrong??) After half an hour in the waters, we trekked back and our boat brings us to Lasir Waterfalls. We spent almost an hour there and returned to the jetty at about 3pm. We actually drove and had a look at the Elephant Sanctuary. But the price was too steep with not a discount even for that late time in tne afternoon. We had a late lunch at Warung Mr Baung a kilometer away on the main road. The fish was well cooked especially the Baung Tempoyan.

The Malacca river is the heart of Malacca. And nothing better to explore it through the river cruise, and then walking on the sidewalks and dining at the many riverside pubs and restaurants. And along with the Jonker Street which forms the tourist hub of Malacca, this area actually creates the pulse of Malacca. It is beautiful specially in the evening. We were 3 families of 9 people and each and every of us enjoyed the experience. We went there for both the nights of our stay. Some of them even went during the day and enjoyed the many museums in and around this area. THE MALACCA RIVER CRUISE For the river cruise, if you are driving, you can put on Malacca River Cruise Boarding Point on Google Maps. This will take you to the boarding area which has a huge car park, the ticket counter and then the boarding pier. Parking is easily available. The River Cruise tickets are RM 30 per adult for foreigners and RM 25 for locals. For children it is RM 25 and RM 20 respectively. The boarding process adheres to COVID SOPs very well. They have proper temperature checks, hand sanitizer and a social distanced waiting area. Each of the boats have sanitizers and the mandatory scanning through the tracing app MySejatara. The river cruise experience is wonderful. It last 45 minutes. The whole boat ride has been planned by the tourism department as it takes you through the river with well lit sidewalks, lovely lit up wall paintings, glimpses of beautiful traditional Malaysian houses. Also the river goes underneath various bridges which are nicely lit up. The whole experience is beautiful as the day becomes cool in the evening (with Malacca very hot during the day). You get to see many lovely restaurants, sidewalks and sitting areas. The boat offers commentary in Malay and English through speakers. Though the volume is a little low to understand fully. This is a must do activity in Malacca. THE LOVELY RESTAURANTS, PUBS There are many eating and drinking options next to the river. Each with different cuisine and décor overlooking the river. They are nicely lit up in the evening. And you can just spend time there next to the river and waving to the river cruise passengers. Few places also have live music. Its beautiful in the evening. JONKER STREET Well, it is very disappointing that due to COVID, this has become a dead zone. With the night market only operating on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, it is completely deserted in the evening and night on weekdays. Indeed very sad.

For beginners this is a good start. Most part of rivers are calm...The rapid is not that fast enough and the rocks are generally ok...It is good for family with young kids for them to try it out...
