Night River Cruise at Malacca (Melaka) River (photos sharing)

After our dinner, we continued our next itinerary – Nigh River Cruise on Melaka River. Tickets purchased from the Best Western Wana Riverside Hotel reception and we got RM1 discount on each ticket. The hotel has their own Jetty (N2.19970 E102.24829) just behind the building, it Only accessible for hotel guests. There are 3 times per day that the boat pick up passengers from the hotel’s jetty, please check with the hotel staffs for the timing.
Our previous Melaka River Cruise was on year 2008, that was on the day time, so we decided to try it on the night time again…

The first ‘colourful’ bridge appreared in front of us was the Hang Tuah Bridge…the boat went towards the north direction when it began…

When the boat almost reached the end up north, I saw this some kind of LRT station and the track was build along the riverbank, interesting! I will try it soon in the future…

The boat passed by a block of flat which lighted up with all the colourful florescent tube! This was the most colourful flat I ever seen in Malaysia!

Follow by few bridges that really look nice during the night…

This nicely lighted pathway along the riverside and accompany with the Britsh Era colonial buildings…

The boat turn back and cruise towards the hotel’s jetty, that end our 45 minutes Night River Cruise on the Malacca River. It was a total different experience when taking the river cruise on day time and night time…I prefer the night cruise because of the colourful lightings…

Have you try it before?
