Worth the price and the ride. The murals were interesting along the river bank. The boat ride starts normally at 9/10am and the sun really gets hot after 11am so choose to go either early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Was here to buy tickets at 8pm during school holiday.. luckily a short queue. After the cruise like 9pm, the queue lane was really long. Those who buy online can use other lanes. Don't join the walk in tickets.rm25 for Malaysian adult.

Took this cruise for the second time in April. Brought a friend from UK. I think the transformation of this historical Malaka River is praiseworthy. The tourism authority did a wonderful job. I love what they have done on both river banks. They kept the old homes and warehouses and converted them into fabulous riverside hotels, shops. cafes, eateries and street arts.

Must do activity if you are ever in Melaka. Very reasonable price on the tickets, a very informative cruise and the view during the cruise is really amazing. If its not much, I can say that you will know about the whole Melaka just by taking this less than an hour river cruise. A brilliant idea in providing this cruise by the Melaka state government.

I think the river is cleaner and more beautiful than ever before. The buildings seem like have a fresh coat of paints. No foul smell. Worthwhile spending RM25 per head for a refreshing 45 minutes trip.

Embarking on Melaka's river cruise at night is a truly enchanting experience! Picture this: city lights casting a magical glow on the gentle ripples as you leisurely sail through the historical heart of the city. The cruise feels like a relaxed journey through a fairy tale, offering a fantastic view of the charming cityscape. It's not just a boat ride; it's a night-time adventure with a laid-back vibe, creating a perfect blend of chill and mesmerizing moments. Highly recommended for those seeking an unforgettable evening in Melaka! 🌙🚤

Good at night, must do it if you are touring. Ticket for foreigners is 30 RM. And local is 25 RM. 5.2 KMs ride of 45 minutes. Safe and clean environment. Colourful 😚

Melaka River Cruise is awesome experience. Positive: jetty with parking lot (free of charge). While on the boat there will be a narrator voice in bilingual about the information of places. Negative: duration on the boat was short.

The river cruise is a great way to view Melaka's tourist attractions. The boats are clean and well maintained. Additionally, the boat captains are also very friendly. Definitely a must if you visit Melaka.

Many places to visit, or just scrolling along the river is good enough. The boats are fun to ride. Recommend to bring with family (remember sop yea) and there are so many bridges. Also the ferris-wheel attraction although I'm not sure if it is working or not, but back in the days it was my paradise.

This is a good trip i would recommend it to all, you will get to know the history of Melaka in a nutshell. The tour will take 35-40 min max. You can purchase tickets from the counter, i dont see that much of a rush in the waiting zone to purchase the ticket online. The most scenic part is the murals on the building you can see from the boat. The counter lady was struggling to charge the ticket amount from my debit card bcoz she didn't know how to place the card for the password, however that was resolved with other agents involvement. You can take a grab from anywhere in Melaka to come here. This is a must take for every traveller in Melaka.

2nd time coming here. very nice & my kids love it so much. i came during raining day.the staff only allow us to go if we "accept" wet condition inside the boat. actually for me the condition is acceptable, u still able to have a sit. the cruise is informative & duration of the cruise is reasonable with the price paid. Informative ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ambient ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attraction ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for money ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Melaka River Cruise best experience ride at night. The only river between the busy city for generation and now is the famous attraction in Melaka, worth ride. After the ride the nearest place to have a walk was Jonker Street where you can get what you one and it's a Food Street too. God of Mercy Temple which in generation famous old temple, Sincere wish get the best blessing that will come true...

Easy access from parking to the ticketing counter. Not many people in the queue, probably just our luck. Good tour around the Malacca River for about 30mins. Will be good if you can come during the night too. Nice view and interesting. Worth the money and time spent. You may want to buy the tix online if you're sure on the date you're coming. Otherwise, you can just purchase it over the counter.

It’s so interesting to take a boat ride gliding along the historic Melaka River. At night, filled with colourful lights ambient. A must to experience this boat exciting and memorable boat ride 👍😀 andy1122

The boat drive was very good. But there was a person who is there to take photographs. He is a pure arrogant person. He says that we should take photographs. But the ticket does not say anything about that. The customer service can be a lot better. This person himself can ruin these beautiful rides.

Very fast service to get the ticket. Walk-in or online ticketing available. Ticket price for adult is RM25 and for children is RM15. Souvenir with picture of yourselves are sold separately at RM60. Waiting time to get on board was very fast. Took us around 10 minutes. Cruise time was around 45 minutes. Suggest to board it during nighttime for better view.

Extremely long queue- too many ppl (no SOP on social distancing), > 1 hour just to board. Nothing much to see along the river, just murals and lights. Tourist trap. It is however nice and cooling at night. Round trip is about 30 mins.

Had a visit here end of Nov. Tooked the eve near sunset slot of the boat ride: to get of both world (eve, sunsut & night). They (the management) adhere to the covid SOP: kudos. Overall: kind of decent 30@45 mins boat ride along Kampung Morten towards Jonker.

It was fun! The night view along the river was amazing and spectacular. Worth every penny... Just hate the long queue though

Beautiful at night. Colourful lights along the river. ride with narrative explaining historic structure along river bank. Took 15 min ride until maritime museum and turn back. Rm 25 adult and RM15 child for Malaysian. Walk in around 6.30pm for night ride.

better to ride at night. colorful lights beautiful the scenery along the river. It takes 25 minutes to go there and back. Nice experience to me.

Very interesting river cruise. Love the one at night too in our last visit. Went for the 1pm cruise this time round to see the murals and buildings more clearly. Surprised it was not hot at all

Nice place for a walk. You can enjoy the old historical buildings and other beautiful decorations.

Loved this place. Very good experience to have onboard to the Jeti here. Nice view with windy feel. Food: Get your titbits and ice cream at the small stall here. Price: Moderate RM 25 for adults, RM 20 for elderly - warga emas. Touch 'n Go accepted Service: Friendly staffs Cleanliness: 3 stars Parking: Easy to find one outside. Free parking.

Rm25 per adult Rm20 per student with student ID card Nice boat ride... River cruise malaka boat operator should provide handy map for tourists to identify the hitorical places along the river..

A nice cruise up and back around Malacca. Cost for non Malaysian was 30rm adults and 25rm children (2-12years). The cruise goes for approximately 40 minutes and if you decide to go I would recommend leaving just before sunset. That way you get to see the sights in the daylight on the way out and then with all the funky lighting on the way back.

Nice trip. Boat operators are very friendly. There's an explanation in both Malay and English to each site you are cruising next to. Loved the views.

RM25 for Malaysian (one round without drop off), boat can fit 20/30ppl, whole trip takes roughly 30mins and will back to the same departure jetty. Great experience for sightseeing even for solo traveller, won't awkward and enjoy the trip

if can take the cruise on night. it will be very fun, colorful and you will be explained about the important places which you are passing through.

Nice atmosphere, so many colourful lights. Very nice scenery all along the way. Would highly recommend those visiting melaka to try the river cruise, especially at night. During the day, there's not much to see. But what ever you do, don't sit in the front row, the water splash will get to you... 😂

💢 This is a must do activity if you are first time come to Melaka. You may enjoy the scenery & get some info via their audio guide. Recommended for tourist & even local. I prefer the ride during night more than day because I love the colorful lights.

I have been on this Melaka river cruise many times almost every years. So sad to see the building art paint getting faded already. Should recover the paint and draw the art again. Otherwise taking the cruise will be a bit boring. Back then the river water is very smelly. But this time the water has improved and no more smelly. 30 minutes ride is fun no matter taking it day or night but please preserve all the building at the riverside as tourist attraction.

It’s a great place to view the scenery at the river during night time with the colourful lighting. You might want to plan your trip earlier by purchasing the ticket online as the queue to purchase the ticket it will take a longer time depending on the festival season. The time that I visited the place it was during the school holiday whereby i have waited for almost 1 hours plus for the ticket and another 1 hour plus to wait for my turn. The river cruise it will take about 45 minutes and you can view the nightlife and also the colourful trees.

Nice 30mins+ boat ride in a calm canal/river. I can see that the maintenance of the murals and painting along the river's edge have not been done during the pandemic. But there are some new buildings with some pretty interesting architecture along the river edge.

A must do if you visit Melaka. Pre recorded voice of a guide explains everything as you cruise by the river. The trip is not a dull one. Did not have a long queue when we visited. Could get on the first boat we saw available. It will be a beautiful 20-30 minute boat ride. It is family friendly and no smoking on board. Before boarding you can buy cold or hot drinks from the vending machines!

day view is better than night

Worth to try at least once lah haha.. Kids will love it. Me as an adult love it too. My family and I went to the cruise around 6.50 pm and waited around 10 minutes for the next boat to arrive. Waiting time is okay plus chairs are provided in the waiting area. Explanation are given by the audio recording throughout the trip and it's fun to watch the lights throughout the river light up. recommended to go before 7 or 8 pm since it is not crowded compared to night time. plus can still see the beautiful murals around 7 pm while cruising 👍🏻

The boat was slow not fast. Can bring kids without any problem. Can view the places around. A nice experience. Go at night. The lights were beautiful, price reasonable

Best part of Melaka travel irrespective of the age. You will surely enjoy at Melaka river. You can have river cruise, river walk, cafes and just next to the center of Melaka. The cruise took close to an hour.. Night the river is lit up with lights and boats also have some colorful lights fitted.

Took the cruise down to Dutch square and jumped of there, convenient i would say with a sightseeing and transport in 1.

A very enlightening cruise along the Melaka river. You get to see the beautiful landscapes and traditional houses n shop-houses. You can also book for dining in the cruise too and watch the mesmerising view while enjoying dinner while cruising.

Good vibe and view with tour speaker. Unpleasant smell still have but not too strong and not too frequent. But the view and all the sparkling and colorful lights is beautiful at night.

Cruising along the Melaka River in the evening is such a pleasant and relaxing experience. There's a brief audio description on the historical landmarks, bridges, wall mural , and history about Melaka. RM25 for fellow locals and RM30 for foreign travellers.

To be honest the trip was amazing We are tourists , we came to buy tickets for the trip. The night shift receptionists were very rude with us. When we came back we wanted to buy one way tickets to go to melaka center but she refused to even give me a ticket to go to the nearest stop “though a group of tourists on the cruise wanted to be dropped at the same area and the cruise stopped and dropped them there” She said to me after that go walk by feet After that I came to ask for a taxi’s number on one of the shops advise he said to me ask reception they will definitely give you a taxi’s number When i went there to ask she said No we don’t have go go It was really rude and annoying ! 9:00pm shift on 10/Sep/2023 A HUGE THANK YOU to the people who are working there they were very helpful to us

A pretty nice boat ride for tourists. A pleasant and cool in the evening when you want to take a break from shopping and eating. Come with in-boat audio guide which highlights some areas. In all, doing it once is good.

Good place to tourist Great experience of river cruise but better if you take night cruise. Hardly takes half an hour to complete the ride and there is no stop. It will go one side then take u turn and come to same place again for pic up n drop

A nice place to stroll and spending time with your love ones. The scenery is pleasing to the eyes and the most important things the kid is happy.

Definitely a beautiful place at night but please note that during the weekends the line is INSANE. I think this jetty is better than the other one. More parking spaces and lots of space for queue to adhere to the SOPs.

Really loved their river cruise service. Ride is around 45 minutes and 30 mintues interval. Price is alright with many boats. Would highly advise to take the tour during the night as it's more beautiful in my opinion!

I like this activity. You will be charged 30RM for 30min., you can see colorful walls along the river and sometimes the komodo dragon. The river is clean but bad smell, the boat will spray citronella.

Dont worry if you notice the longgg queue to board the cruise, the management and ordering system is very efficient. We bought the ticket on the spot, 10minutes before boarding and queued in line for approximately 15minutes only. Surrounding area has many vending machines if you are thirsty and hungry. We love it, the kids love it toooo.

One of the nicest things you can do while in Melaka. Support the local tourism industry, have a relaxing cruise along the historic Sg. Melaka. Enjoy the night views and chilly winds and have some fun.

First time visiting after MCO. Full of colorful decorative lights along the Malacca River.

The night view was super awesome even still in pendemic.

RM 25/adult. It's okay if you don't bring your mykad. They'd be asking about your state. That's it.

This is a must visit place if u come to historic place of melaka. Excellent view at night. I got the front seat and be ready to get wet when other boat passing by. There is auto guidance about the place nearby from the boat while ur cruising. The ticket rm25 is a fair price for 45min journey. Surprisingly the river bank and water is clean from any rubbish. Good job done.

a recommended place for tourist. beautiful night view. it's so calming to ride it. ❤❤❤

Highly recommended. Historical place nice to visit. Better at night that have colouring light along the river. Also got mural at wall of building.

River Cruising will be much nicer and relaxing if the weather is bright and the tempreature low haha. I wish I could try night cruise during my nxt visit. Overall, river cruise is nice with colorful buildings and murals to be captured in still or video. During our recent visit I manage to capture the image of a crocidile in video. Hopefully the Local Authority could investigate the incident.

I consider Melaka and Penang quite similar cities, both are UNESCO World Heritage designated and each containing unique cuisines and ethnic differences and similarities. The Melaka river once played a significant role in the early development of this settlement. From the early Arab, Indian and Chinese influence to the Dutch East India occupation. This cruise is a very relaxing cruise that provides you a brief history of some of the historically important area along the river. A very pleasant 45 mins cruise that is available day or night. The night cruise offers you some beautiful light whereas with the day cruise you get a better glimpse of the areas along the river bank.

Must try on night,you can feel the natural wind blowing

This is best attraction at Melaka for tourist to come. The price is affordable for tourist to come here. The view is very good and take a picture.

Good experience. Seat a bit smaller. Riding time around 30-40 minutes. Ticket price : adult mykad holder RM25

Colder to ride at night and beautiful lights. We rode on a Saturday night and as expected it was crowded and long lines. Overall a fun ride with the family.

I think it worth the money because the long travel. Buy, I advise to go at night. More beautiful and windy

Better experience the short tour at night, beautiful scenery and lights, many arts and architectural elements along the river, restaurants and places to spend time wif loved ones

Along the river of Melaka there is an amazing atmosphere and by sailing with Melaka River Cruise you see it from another angle and are getting told through a speaker about the different areas and buildings. Though the tour is one way up the river and a low speaking voice to tell and then a turn around to the same way back without possibility of getting off in the opposite end. On the way back they do play nice Malaysian music.

The "Malacca" area is a historical area, which is the only one that adheres to the British style. where; The end of peace with Britain was there. Enjoy the stunning view. Of which:

1. You can book a ticket on the internet or the ticket areas are near the red square if you are visiting there. 2. Price: ~ 30 RM (~155.000 VND ) 3. You will sit on a boat for a panoramic tour of Melaka for about 45 minutes.

Very enjoyable! Absolutely love the old bridges that we came across. Recommended

Amazing experience. Excellent food and well trained staff. Worth every penny. If u are looking for a unique experience in Ahmedabad, head to this place without any negative thoughts. Worth every penny.

Nice trip cruising Melaka river. Wish it has more tourist attractions in future.

I came with my small family, it's better to come during at night for us to enjoy the colourful lamp at the side of the river along the journey. Yo will conducted earlier during the boat with automated audio explaining the heritage houses and building along your journey. It takes 40 minutes +/- duration for a trip. Parking are free for us who re their customer. Night moment will be peak hour ya. If you want a cheaper price for your ticket, you are encouraged to book online or it's ok for you to walk in but ready to line up. However the q will take time for you to get in front of the counter. It's a valuable and enjoyable moment for those of us who love sight seeing activity

I enjoyed it very much. The journey was almost 30 minutes long. They were describing the various places along the way as well. Rm 30/person for foreigners Rm 25/person for locals.

One of the must visit tourist attraction when you are in Melaka. It will be more interesting if you take the boat at night, so you can enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the river illuminated with decorative lights.

Wonderful experience. I visited at night when it was colourful along the river. I really appreciate that they installed benches along the queue before the ride.

Definitely worth doing, though probably the night ferry is more beautiful. The commentary is very much inviting you to be impressed with how much the Melaka government is doing to improve the area, but it's also informative and interesting, offering some history to the area.

OKU friendly. Priority given to senior citizens. Amazing view & experience.

Not recommended for One day trip (pakej pit stop) the boat is always full and very hard for pit stop customer to hoop in. We waited 9 boats to get in the boat, wasted a lot of time

Take a walk by the historical Malacca River. Lots of cafe and restaurants. Some interesting architecture, a mix of old and new.

For rm30 the boat ride not really worth it. If the price 15-20 should be alright for foreigner. Total ride time only 25-30 min, they will come back in same place where they start the journey.. Better walk near the river .

A must try activity when u visit Melaka. There was a pre-recorded voice of tourist guide explaining about the buildings and a bit of Melaka's history as u cruising along the river hence ur trip wouldn't be a dull one. We had to wait in a long queue but seats available for elderlies and pregnant ladies. Awesome!

Ticket price quite pricey..overall experience are just nice.

Loved the experience, the sunset was really beautiful. There seems to be a audio guide coming out from speakers onboard, but you cannot actually hear it because the engine is quite loud.

One of the favourite tourist places in Melaka. Best time to go is evening around 7-8 when the lights are on. But very long queue on weekends. It's like Asia's Venice. It's made in European style.

This place offer a beautiful scenery and calming especially at night. We visit this place on weekdays so we don't have to queue. The parking is free. The ticket fee also affordable. Should try at least once

Good view and vibes on weekend. Missed the moment on 2019 visit. The market around the river sell stuffs with affordable prices. Like the cendol duren. Having a good time to look around the city from hotel puri melaka to chinese traditional market and the river. Many interesting places to take photos

Leisure experience while strolling the river inside the cruise. Can see beautiful scenery of the historical city of Malacca.

Went on a Sunday 2 days before CNY. Suprisingly not many people. Ticket prices was ok but can be abit pricey for some. Que to board was not long around 5 mins. Got on a boat with partial open roof, ride was breezy. Views on the riverside was ok. There's big lizards and kingfishers too if you could spot them. My 3 and 5 year old enjoyed the cruise, a worthwhile experience for the family.

The ride was enjoyable, very informative and refresh about malacca history.

Overall good experience here. Can only buy ticket on the same day you want to take a ride on the boat, it could be you buy the ticket on morning but you plan to ride on the boat on night. Those with student ID will get discount as well. Recommended to ride on the boat on night, the night view is really amazing! The whole ride took about 30 mins.

Good experience, recommend to come view the malacca scenery at night where cute children on the bridges will wave at u for ur attention and the lights are just pure beauty Pretty view for rm25 If u got a nice cameraman/woman, you'd get some rlly great pics n videos too! Nice breeze during the night 🌃

- I think the trip is boring. There’s just a recording that’ll tell what are the history behind the houses, streets and bridges. - Lots of pubs along the river. Around 30 mins. - So, RM95 for 2 students, 2 senior citizens and 1 child. I dont think its worth it. - For experience, sure go ahead. For fun, I think better spend the RM95 for great food at Umbai maybe. Will I come here again? Probably not!

Nice place to visit. Please visit at night,be more fun.

Superb experience exploring the Malacca's river. With audio guidance explaining the exact moment when passing to certain historical places. It took 30-40 minutes slowly cruising the river. A must try for local and foreign tourists.

Pleasant experience. Did not have to wait long to get on the cruise. It was fun to see the lights at night

Mostly visited by foreign tourist.Good service and easy parking. The boat ride was amazing.Staff are friendly and helpful. So many things to see, capture and after you returned back to the Teman Rempah jetty don't forget to check out some souvenirs at Mr Nazri kiosk for your love ones.Good service and friendly guy.Washroom are also available. RM 0.50 sen per person per entry.Musollah and Mosque are nearby also around 3minutes walk.

The best thing when you ride the boat during night, there are many spots that fill up and decorated with lights and led. I came around 8PM and the waiting time was about 30mins before two boats came to fetch us. Probably i think it is better if can come before 8PM.

Waiting area is big and can accommodate the golden age folks. Ticketing also accept debit/credit card. While waiting there is restaurant for you to quest your thirst and grumpy tummy. If you bringing your kids here better to feed them first and waiting queue can take 30-45 mins depending on the crowd. The boat ride is best to go at night as you can see the lights around the river stretch, bistro, restaurants and locals and much more colder compare to daytime. The ride approximately around 30mins go and return. Worth to try.
