Melaka River Cruise

“A relaxing and enjoyable cruise up the Melaka River. Takes about 30 to 40 minutes. Some commentary along the way in Bahasa Melayu and English. Not a bad way to spend an hour or so if you have some time in Melaka. Gives you another perspective of Melaka and the opportunity to see some mural paintings on the walls of some houses and shops as the boat cruises up and down the river. The cruise costs RM50 per adult if you're a foreigner. Locals get to pay a lower fare.”

“Sgrean discovering interesting places in Melaka 😁 If you have nothing much to do, taking a cruise ride after dinner is a pretty good option. Can hardly hear the prerecorded commentary, nothing much to see except the neon lights from pubs and restaurants. Overall its a nice ride. 打卡成功! 👍Like & Follow me for more.”

“Walking around river cruise jetty. Easy to walk. Walking pathway provided. It took me around 1.5hour to have a relax walk. Stop by kampung Morten to see beautiful malay traditional houses. Worth the walk. Aside from walking, u can take a boat cruise as well.”

“I booked through the Viator app. It was advertised as a 10 hour excursion, and called a River Cruise. It was 2 hours there and 3.5 hours back from KL (folks returning from a weekend out of town made for some heavy traffic). We arrived to Melaka to a 40 minute boat ride through a narrow waterway (no open water, no speed, no nature views). We were treated to views of the brightly painted back wall of many businesses that were closed on a Sunday morning. Pedestrians took pictures of us as we floated by. The rest of the day was spent in "feels like 42 degrees C" weather, listening to the history of Melaca, and invited to shop in the area. We were driven for a lovely lunch (family-style, many Chinese-food type dishes), more shopping and history, and ended at a bar for a drink. It was an enjoyable day, but not what I would title a "River Cruise".”
