FamilyVerified bookingSep 20255/5Memorable. Have seen it for so many times when I walked alongside the river side. Thought that it was normal only. Tried it for the first time with my whole family and found it actually in Malaysia we do have such an amazing river night cruise. Memorable moment with my beloved family. 7 adults with 6 children in our trip. AMAZING👏
Colonial legacy & modern marvels
Infrastructure from Melaka's colonial era is still in place today, and its legacy continues to be felt over a longer period than in previous centuries. During this 45-minute boat ride, you'll learn about the history and the role the Melaka River played in it while witnessing the future through the modernization that has taken place.
Glide through history
As you cruise along the serene river, you will pass the Stadthuys and Red Building, built by the Dutch in 1888, as well as the Church of St. Francis Xavier, completed in 1856. You'll see the Bastion Middleburg, built in 1660 to ward off attackers. Melaka's transformation includes new businesses like The Shore Shopping Gallery, the Eye on Melaka Ferris wheel, and the Melaka Malay Sultanate Water Wheel, the country's largest.
