Introduction
Make the most out of your visit to Malacca with a river cruise. Take on a 40-45 minutes boat ride to enjoy the scenic view along the Melaka river and the historical buildings and villages by the shore. An evening ride will allow you to spectate the colorful LED illumination of the buildings, bridges and other attractions along the river.
What to Expect?
Visitors can opt for day-time cruise and night-time cruise, with the latter being more attractive as the city of Melaka is lit up with LED and lighting decoration throughout the shore of Melaka river.
Daytime Cruise

You can choose whether to go up the river or go down the river depending on the boarding port of your choice. As you cruise across the river, you get to enjoy the beautifully painted murals, local arts, and the river side bars. Don't forget to take memorable pictures of the vibrant city when you are onboard. Bring your friends and family for a relaxing trip together.

a week agoWent on July 2023, the price was RM25 per head and show your I/C. At 5/6pm - 7pm, the queue was short so no need to wait for long and it's a convenient time before you walk to Jonker Street. Can just walk in.

3 months agoCosts 30 for adult foreigner. Kind of nice to go at night but was not as good as I was hoping. There is limited info broadcast over the speaker going upriver (and music coming back) but the it's hard to make out what they're saying. You cruise rather fast so it's not as peaceful as it could be. I was also hoping they would cruise to the big waterfront mosque but they didn't. Seems like it would be an easy/worthwhile addition. The lights of the city just weren't that spectacular. Felt like would be nicer to walk the riverside instead.

3 months agoRiverside with mirror like river during morning walk. Recommended to explore before 8AM as the weather is still cool and the river is calm to have mirror like surface.
