(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Singapore
Begin with an early morning pickup at your Singapore hotel. 2 of our trained staff (1 licensed guide and 1 separate driver) will meet you at the hotel driveway to check your documents before escorting you through immigration via the drive-through border (no standing-in-line). After clearing immigration, relax into the comfortable seats of your private, air-conditioned minivan to enjoy the 3-hour chauffeured drive to Malacca - a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was once the country’s busiest trading port. Use the onboard WIFI if you wish while enjoying a complimentary packed breakfast box.
En-route, listen to the detailed deforestation commentary by your professional local English-speaking guide (100% licensed with university qualifications) as you pass by the massive palm oil plantations at Malacca Jasin village. Do you know that this tour is both a Viator Badge Of Excellence accredited tour, and a sustainable carbon-neutral tour? After every tour, 1 tree will be planted in damaged Malaysian Borneo rainforests to offset the tour carbon footprint, as well as to preserve the natural habitat of the endangered Orangutan species.
Malacca River
Upon arrival in Malacca, hop onboard a scenic river cruise that will sail you into the heart of UNESCO Malacca. Spanning 10-kilometer, Malacca river was once dubbed the "Venice of the East" by European seafarers as it was a prominent port of entry for traders from Europe and Asia during the late 16th century.
