βA 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.β

βSgrean discovering interesting places in Melaka π 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. ζε‘ζε! πLike & Follow me for more.β

βWalking 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.β
