PoorBest 
The river was the main artery of trade for Melaka in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the world.

Some buildings from that era still stand majestically by the river, which is also lined by old villages, or kampungs, and modern day buildings.

The 45-minute cruise is accompanied by an entertaining and informative commentary. And, for just RM8, it's a good bargain. See parts of historical Melaka, get a history lesson for next to nothing, and never break a sweat!

Key Tips
The boats usually only leave when they are full. Luckily, 'full' only means six people. Even so, be flexible in your plans and be prepared to wait, if only a short while.
 
How to get there
By Taxi and Boat
Because of the Melaka River Cruise's very central location, it is very easy to get to and from if you are staying in Melaka.
