Overview

This tour begins with a scenic drive from Desaru Coast to the Sungai Lebam River, winding through lush forests and countryside before arriving at one of Johor’s most enchanting hidden gems. Unlike typical river cruises, this journey offers an immersive experience into the heart of a vibrant mangrove ecosystem. Guests will cruise past a traditional fishing village and floating restaurant, gaining insight into local life and nature from an expert guide.

As night falls, witness a rare and breathtaking natural phenomenon—the synchronised glow of fireflies in yellow, green, and pale red hues, illuminating the Berembang trees. This magical display, seen only in a few places around the world, transforms the mangrove forest into a living fairy tale.

Ideal for families, nature lovers, and curious travellers seeking a peaceful yet unforgettable evening, this tour combines scenic beauty, local culture, and the wonder of nature into one extraordinary experience.
