The entrance fee for children from 2-7 year old is RM5 where else adult is RM10. This fee range is applied for day trip. The fee for night trip or VIP is doubled. Hong Zheng was one day before his two years old so he was FOC.
The whole trip took us about 45min go and forth. There are two departing points one at Taming Sari and one is at the police station near the red house. We took the one at Taming Sari. Sister rode us there and she complained the entrance to the river cruise departing area was confusing. I think our government should put more effort into this area.
We did not wait long for departing as one cruise is already waiting for us with half boat of passengers. We departed around 11am although it was a hot day but fortunately the cruise is half covered so we did not get sun burn.
There was a cruise driver and a tour guide on the boat. The cruise driver was actually a lady and according to the tour guide she is one of the ten ladies who newly obtained the license for cruise driving. Along the trip the tour guide will explain to us the history of buildings, towels and landscape, the natural habitats along the way. He able to explain in Malay or English depend to the demand from the passengers in the boat. We came to know there will be a monorail running along the river side one more year later. Hard Rock will be started off the business in Melaka too. There are many more transportation for tourists such as taxi river and duck boat. Wao...cannot wait to take a ride.
Overall, i think it is worth to spend money as we came to know more about Melaka. 45min is really worth it for RM10. We plan to come for a ride at night in near future too.
