Paid RM60/person for the cruise and got discount 10%... Once on-board, the upper deck was packed so my family have to stay inside the boat … It supposed to be a 1.5hour trip with commentary, refreshments and a cultural show. But we can’t hear the commentary and we have to queue (long queue) for the free drinks and cakes…. I... More

There is unlimited free drinks of orange juice and plates of delicious layer cake and you can also purchase alcohol from the bar. The cruise was a bit late leaving and we... More

My family and I took the sunset cruise on a Thursday and it was quite packed. Everyone had a seat though. The cruise took us along the river to see the attractions along the way. It was a 1.5hour trip with commentary, refreshments and a cultural show. It was enjoyable but might be boring for some as the boat travels... More

We went on a Monday evening in September - dark clouds threatened rain but the weather cleared and we got a pleasant though not stunning sunset. Including our family of four there were only 12 passengers, one of whom slept nearly the... More

We take sunset river cruise with a traditional boat. It takes about one hour and I must say it's a little bit boring as the boatman doesn't explain anything to you a long the ride.
