in the last weekBuying ticket with discounted price using student ID over the counter, only RM 20 for whole tour. A wrist band ticket, mosquito repellent and a map will be provided. Remember to request more and try to cover up every part of your body, I was bitten by a bug and swollen for several days.
Best parts:
- Drinking Station
They provide different beverages every day that made from different herbs. The brew I tried is the mixture of panda leaves, lemon grass and Stevia which are nice cool refreshers on a hot day.
- Fish Pedicures
It tickles and is comfortable when the small fish bites off your dead skin from feet. Feeling much cleaner after the fish pedicure.
Plants lovers or nature enthusiasts should try to visit here. -
Pranavan Theivendiram
a month agoWonderful green place next to beach. It would cost 27 RM per adult foreigner. Children who are under the age of 4 will have a free entry.
There is a tiny fish SPA area. It contains small fishes, but it is a lovely place to burn some time. -
Kai
2 months agoWent on a free and easy walk around. What we liked:
- activity booklet for kids
- a few slides scattered around the compound
- mosquito repellent spray is available for us to use at no fee at the ticketing counter
- has some interactive components (and not just plants) such as natural fish spa
- mostly shady due to the trees around
Considerations
- many steps to climb up/down slopes, was challenging for the elderly
- not many visual signs to identify the plants and explain about their uses etc.
We didn’t manage to catch the guided tour, that would probably allow us to better understand the plants! -

4 months agoA lush hillside garden, eight acres (3.2 hectares) in size, with a huge variety of plants. I highly recommend taking the tour. The groups are typically small. Our guide was deeply knowledge about the plants and presented in entertaining way.
I have an interest in spices, and he was able to explain their origins, processing methods, varieties, and history. Well worth the visit. -
