Muar River Cruise
Muar river cruise from Tanjung Emas to Second Bridge is a refreshing experience for locals and tourists as well. The cruise takes about 40 minutes and tickets are priced RM10 for adults and RM5 for children below 12 years old.
The boat is made from cengal wood with a full capacity of 40 persons and safety jackets must be wore at all times during the cruise. This cruise is ran by a private company since 1997.
Tanjung Mas Jetty
The jetty is the river cruise landing and departing point, located at the Muar river estuary. The Muar marina club is beside the jetty. It was opened on 13 August 2002.
Along the cruise journey, you are able to view the skyline of Muar city with a several Muar famous historic buildings on the riverbank. The bad part is no tour guide to brief passengers. I hope Ministry of Tourism is taking note on this comment.
The weather and grey sky during my trip is not suitable for photo outing. 🙁
