Malaysia (Johor)
At-A-Glance
Main Highlights
ATV Park Johor (Seelong Trail): Three hours of solid ATV adventure – the mud will wash off, but the memories will last a lifetime. We saw ourselves cruise through coconut trees and plantations, go knee deep into murky waters, get stuck in sand and mud, and occasionally get mud splashed onto our faces
Tasik Biru Kangkar Pulai (Blue Lagoon): This scenic lake is an abandoned mine filled with water that turned bright blue – supposedly from copper sulfate that used to be mined from the quarry. Proceed with caution – there have been past incidents when hikers met with tragedy because this isn’t a designated and well marked trail!
Bookxcess Big Box | X Park: Inspirational bookstore with lots of throwback classics – from Enid Blyton’s faraway tree to Roald Dahl’s BFG – it’s also a perfect spot to snap your daily IG shot! Beside Bookxcess Big Box, you can find X Park with lots of adventure activities, and our favourite is the go-kart!
Desaru Ostrich Farm: Home to 200+ ostriches of all sizes and ages, it is one of the biggest ostrich farm in the region. Some of the ostriches roam freely and we can feed them, ride (some of them), and try to stand on the eggs (and learn how strong they are!) If we are lucky, we may even spot a baby ostrich hatching out of its egg in the hatchery!
Teluk Sengat Crocodile Farm: One of those farms which had been around since… forever, we remember coming here with our own parents. The farm was established in 1950s and is currently run by the granddaughter of its founder – a multi-generational business!
Desaru Fruit Farm: Awarded the “Best Agro- Tourism site” in Malaysia 2006, this farm provides a tour of many different fruits and how they are grown, before bringing us to small animal farm with goats, chickens, rabbits, fish and more. The tour ended with a platter of… delicious fruits. To top it off, they even have an ATV trail that we hopped on after the farm tour!
Kota Tinggi Firefly Park: This firefly park is a multi-generational business that offers a riverboat ride in the evenings to view thousands of luminous fireflies! The staff is really friendly even though it got busy during the peak hours, and their boat captains were really experienced – peering into the darkness and pointing out the wildlife which is invisible to the naked eye
Random stops around Desaru: One of the most beautiful things about a roadtrip is stopping along the road when we see something amazing – and Desaru/JB is full of these interesting sights!
Amigos Horse Riding: Founded in the early 2000s, the founder Mr Mousouloo wanted a humble and cosy stable to spread his love for horses. Today, there are training programs, short pony rides, and longer jungle trails – you will be able to find something for your little Bean!
Photo Reel








































Complete with a piano:
We visited here without our little Beans, and can’t wait to come back with them (or maybe not)


Feeding:
They grab them off you, with the occasional peck of the finger as the little Beans’ fingers are hidden in the leaves


Arrived:
Kota Tinggi Firefly Park – it’s best to arrive here at 7pm, as the fireflies are at its peak
