JALAN GRAHA MAJU ARAS 9, GRAHA MAJU BUILDING, 75300 Melaka, Malaysia
Great experience around the heritage of Melaka. Quite a wait for the cruise after purchasing the ticket. A distance walk from Jonker Walk so I'd suggest it's better to take the ride in the night where there's wind and breeze.
It was a great experiences in Malacca! I was there when chinese new year. The vibes is so vibrant and truly fun. It was crowded, probably because it was holiday season. But the queue for ticketing was fast enough. Ticket price for foreigner was RM38 or IDR150,000 at that time. You can pay it by cash or Visa Card. I use Jenius/SMBC, for indonesian fellas you may know this card. If you have a plan to visit malacca, i recommend you to try this Cruise attraction! A lil bit tips, i think you should try this attraction in the afternoon (around 6-7pm), so you can see the sunset from the boat. This attraction worth every penny!
