2025 Alor Gajah Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Cape Rachado Lighthouse is considered the oldest lighthouse in Malaysia. It stands on the famous Port Dickson beach, located about 100 meters inland on the hilltop of Tanjung Tuan, surrounded by woodland. Its history dates back to the 16th century during the Portuguese rule of Malacca. The Portuguese established the site after capturing Malacca in 1511, and the lighthouse was initially built to guide their ships through the strait. The current lighthouse was rebuilt in 1863, consisting of a 24-meter high circular tower with a lantern and balcony. Another tower, completed in 1990, was constructed with reinforced concrete to monitor ship traffic in the Strait of Malacca and assist communication at the top of the structure. This makes the lighthouse an ideal spot for bird watching. Access to the lighthouse is only possible by walking up the stairs: a spiral staircase with 72 steps and a stone staircase located behind the lighthouse, which is a convenient path to the lighthouse. Transportation: It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. If you take the train to Seremban station, it takes about 40 minutes by car rental or taxi.

The Turtle Conservation and Information Centre in Padang Kemunting is an essential facility dedicated to protecting sea turtles and raising awareness about their conservation. Located in Malaysia, this centre is a key player in the effort to safeguard sea turtles, which are increasingly threatened by human activities. One exciting way to experience the centre’s work is through a tour. These tours provide a unique opportunity to see sea turtles in their natural habitat and learn about their conservation firsthand. During the tour, visitors can explore the centre’s exhibits, which offer insights into the life cycles of sea turtles, their species, and the threats they face. Visitors may have the chance to see the turtle hatcheries where eggs are carefully protected until they hatch. After the baby turtles are born, they are released into the ocean as part of the centre’s efforts to boost their survival rates. These tours not only highlight the centre’s conservation efforts but also allow visitors to witness the beauty and importance of sea turtles in their natural environment. #islandtours

In a little village in Malacca called Machap Baru, there lies a petite little street within the residential area where the villagers decorated it with red lanterns and peach blossom flowers to enhance the mood of Chinese New Year. The whole stretch is covered with lots of lanterns leading from the main road to a small alley, whereby there is a replica of seats underneath the plum blossom tree decorated with colourful lights. The kindness and hospitable residence within the street makes the entire event happened and thanks to their hospitality, many visitors are able to witness such nice atmosphere of Chinese New Year. #newyearadventure

📌 Bukit Batu Putih Port Dickson A day of traveling with the club We first climbed a mountain, and in order to reach the top, we had to climb rocks by holding a rope Then we went down countless stairs to reach the beach (The stairs were a bit steep, and I accidentally slipped and was very out of breath on the way back) When the beach was not high tide, we could find a hidden spot, a sea cliff cave (All were rocks, so it was recommended to wear closed shoes to avoid injuries) It was really pleasant to enjoy the sea breeze and lunch It was very tiring but very fun I highly recommend going with friends! But it requires some physical strength #outdooradventure #travel #seascapes #hiking #beach #natural

Tanjung Tuan view.

Park Royal Melaka, nice hotel to go for short vacation. With good ambiance to relax Big pool to swim for kids and have some other game to play.

My close friends organised an unconventional bridal picnic celebrations at Monkey Bay Beach last weekend. It was the best bridal picnic ever and had so much fun connecting with friends and nature! Good for the soul! It can be too quiet as not many people on weekdays and the place is so serene. Trail difficulty is not too extreme, quite steep but manageable, 10 minutes to reach the beach from the trailhead. If you’re looking for the nearest & quiet beach from KL City, would recommend this place. 🕰️Business Hours: 8am-7pm (Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest)
