Kelantan river cruise @ Kota Bharu, Kelantan

One of the latest attraction in Kota Bharu nowadays is the Kelantan river cruise. The cruise departs from Medan Ikan Bakar(MIB) Kota Bharu. The cruise operated from 9.00am until 5.00pm of the day. The cruise includes trip to see the surroundings of Teluk Renjuna & Pulau Beluru. Besides that you have chance to view the making process of kuih kapit in Pulau Suri. What's more is that you can drink freshly picked coconut juice and taste nipa palm seed! The trip is well worth at MYR20 with boat ride to the destinations. This trip is recommended for those who is going to visit Kota Bharu.


First we get ticket from this shop. The service is provided by Masseroja Travel & Tour. The shop is located at lot G-25 in MIB complex.

There is our boat. The river water colour is appetizing though. Its like "teh tarik madu" colour.

Safety first. Wear life jacket.

Say cheese before the cruise.

The boat is quite new.
