Well worth the money - 4 hours on a jet ski and visiting islands, with a freshwater lake, limestone formations and eagle watching spot on the way. Our guide, Shadow, was humorous and shared many interesting folklores. Would recommend!

Johnson was a great guide! He looked after us and made sure we had no questions. Took us to the nice spots and explained so many interesting facts about Melaka. The bus had aircon and was clean, so I’d defo recommend.

Kiran is an absolute gem. So caring, funny and just absolutely loves sharing her culture and knowledge with us all. She was the star of the show of this tour! The food is also amazing!

The tour was great! You see a lot of the city and get to know local food at the same time. Just perfect! Povan as a guide was great!

Thanks a lot to Ram, our driver. Very friendly and informative. We highly appreciated his island tips.
