Melaka River Cruise, Melaka

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.

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.

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.

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.
