1 hour
Tanjung Balau
Tanjung Balau is the oldest fishing village in Johor, Malaysia. This beach site is established more than a hundred years ago by fishermen from the north-eastern Malayan states of Kelantan and Terengganu.
There is a Fishermen’s Museum nearby the car parking area and it showcase artefacts on exhibit include fishing nets and tackles, and traditional tools used to fish. Visitors also get treated to a dose of local seafaring superstitions and techniques to determine a good catch.
The entire seascape at Tanjung Balau is especially beautiful during low tide as this is when the hidden marine life are revealed. There are lots of seashells in various shapes and sizes, small fish trapped in shallow pools of water between rocks and sandbars, and tiny crabs skittering across the sand, then disappearing just as quickly into unseen holes. Thus, getting the right timing to visit this site is important as the low tide timing is changing daily.
However, the most unique feature about Tanjung Balau are the wind-stressed rock formations seen only during low tide. The rocks are believed to be from the Permo-Carboniferous age, which is more ancient than those of the Permian period that began 275 million years ago!
It is possible to have a closer look at these prehistoric formations if you take the cement walkway that extends out to sea, circling round a little bay on another side of the promontory, before crossing a small bridge that joins up with the mainland. A number of shelters have been built along the walkway to allow visitors to take in the lapping waves against the rocky surrounds.
Ideally visit this place in Mar to Oct season, avoid the Monsoon season as the wind and waves are too great
1 hour
Kota Tinggi Waterfalls
This is a small waterfall that suitable for kids, the water is cold and the rock is slippery and everything is natural. The negative ion riched environment will makes you feel relax and pleasant.

Small fishes and water spider is seen in the water too. bring some bread to feed them is not a bad idea for the kids.
Note:
1. No running or jumping on the rocks, walk slowly
2. Avoid waterfall after heavy rain
3. No shower facility, only changing room. Bring your own changing clothes and our driver will ensure you have a clean toilet break before and after the visit to this waterfall.

1 hour 30 minutes
Kota Tinggi Firefly Park
It is a magical 45 minutes Firefly River Cruise Tour. Travel under the stars, fireflies all over and the trees light up like Christmas trees, feel the miracle of nature! Johor Kota Tinggi river is a rare breeding ground and habitats for fireflies and the best thing is that you can see the fireflies all around the years, as long as it is not raining. Thousands of fireflies spread over the banks of the river and correspond to the stars, creating a unique landscape. Occasionally, fireflies would fly right into the boat. Moreover, you might be able to see iguana or big lizard or Monkeys perched up on the tree branches during the boat ride. Younger ones would definitely love it.

Awesome day filled with unique experiences
Published on Aug, 2024
It was a wonderful and unique experience for the family especially my young kids who could enjoy their first waterfall bathing in a safe and quiet place and also safely enjoy feeding ostriches ! The highlight of the trip was the river cruise to see fireflies in the night. Truly unique and enchanting experience. The car was very comfortable and luxurious and our driver was very cordial and ensured we reached all places on time and didn’t miss a thing .
Thank you for the memorable trip and look forward to more such fun trips !
