Just pay minimal fees for conservation – RM4 for adult and RM1 for school going children. Enjoy experiencing the biodiversity of mangroves.
The place is not well maintain. To enter there is a entrance fees. Not expensive. Affordable. Plenty of car parking lot are available. There are even chalet to stay and enjoy the nature of mangrove.
It is about 1 hour 30 minutes walk. While walking we can view and study the habitats of the mangrove. Don’t forget to bring along your mosquite repellent and water bottle.
When we visited the place, it was very dry and not well maintained. We just had a walk in the nature.
Sunday jaunt to this mangrove forest for a spot of nostalgic birdwatching. If you want to see bigger animals, make sure you’re in the park early. You might just spot the otter family that lives here. To be here early, why not book and stay in the lovely chalets here. Uncle and Aunty wanted a nice, casual jalan-jalan, and we saw various birds – egrets, herons, kingfishers, monitor lizards, and macaques. We also saw a corporate group doing mangrove planting with Malaysian Nature Society (which runs the park). This place is popular for such activities because it’s an easy 45 min drive from Petaling Jaya. Meandering the park, you’ll easily get 3-4km worth of walking on flat, level ground. There’s a small entry fee which goes towars the park upkeep. If you’re game for more wildlife spotting – leave your wheels at the car park and walk up the nearby Melawati Hill. There are Langurs and more Macaques up there. Not touristy enough? You’re also near the Sky Mirror Jetty. This is a very “efficient” destination since you get to enjoy nature, history and touristy fun all in one!
This park is very under maintained causing it doesn’t look good and the facilities are not in a good state, very sad. Luckily, the mangrove forest is mostly in a good state. Due to the dry season and global warming, some parts are drying up and we can see that the water dams are not working well to retain the water level. I am glad to see some cooperations and university are contributing and finding ways to grow the mangrove and I saw some people are working there too on the weekend. Thank you for the effort there.
