Lake Kenyir Cruise

Lake cruise is one of the main highlights at Lake Kenyir. On our second day, we took the 2-hour cruise around the lake and visited the Herbal Island and Saok Waterfall. Herbal Island is known for its collection of herbal plants and here we were actually served with herbal drinks like tongkat ali and kacip fatimah. Then, the cruise took us to Saok Waterfall where we soaked in the cooling water enjoying the nature around us.

Fun Activities & Games

Lake Kenyir Resort offers many activities like lake cruise, a visit to National Park, fishing trip, elephant walk tour, bird watching, Kelah santuary, deer feeding, jungle trekking and night safari (Oh! 3 days 2 nights stay at the resort is not enough to do all these activities).

The most enjoyable activity according to my kids is playing at the pool. The pool has this kiddie slide that they couldn't get enough of. (But be mindful, one of the young guests bumped his head on his way down the slide but nothing serious happened as he only got bruises on his head).

After dinner, we enjoy some indoor games like congkak, lego, wooden blocks, foosball and pool. Hubby taught me how to play pool. Guess what! I really enjoy it.

You may find these birds if you went for bird watching

3 Days 2 Nights at Lake Kenyir Resort & Spa

It's a 2-week school holiday. I've promised the kids for a holiday trip if they were being good during the school term (tht means complete all homeworks without complaining). I kept my promise and brought them for another back to nature experience at Lake Kenyir last weekend. I've booked a chalet at Lake Kenyir Resort and Spa for 3 days 2 nights stay. We stayed in a wooden chalet with a balcony overlooking the lake. Every morning when i woke up, the first thing i wud do is slide open the balcony door, get lazy on the chair and enjoying the beautiful view of Lake Kenyir.

I love the place and for me, 3 days 2 nights stay seems not enough. The resort has a very warm staff and activities provided are enjoyable. 

If you asked me whether I would come back to the resort for another holiday break? Yes, I would certainly come back.

DIY Batik Painting

Another highlights of our Cherating trip is batik painting where you can paint and design your own print. 


The kids get creative with batik painting which only cost RM10 per piece.
