About Paya Lebar Eco-Cruise
The Paya Lebar Eco-Cruise takes small boats along the Paya Lebar river through mangrove reserve towards the Linggi River. Locals have started calling it Melaka's "Mini Amazon" for its wildlife: crocodiles are the main draw (reports put the population at nearly 1,400), and monkeys, squirrels and snakes are often seen on the banks.
An October 2026 report gives the price as RM50 per person for a trip of about two hours, with up to 12 passengers per boat. Tourism Melaka's listing also mentions stops at a traditional charcoal kiln, shellfish breeding grounds and old Dutch walls, so ask the operator what your trip includes. Contact numbers listed by Tourism Melaka are 06-384 2803 and 019-656 2439. Keep hands inside the boat.
