This is an easy drive to a very old part of Johore which very few people are aware of. We’ll do a slow dinner beside Johore River.
After dinner, we’ll do the Firefly Cruise.
After the firefly cruise, we do something auspicious for the last night of Chinese New Year 2024 – by releasing a Sky Lantern into the sky. This is the famous Guo Min Tang lantern which we have heard so much of in Taiwan and Thailand.
We include a set of fire crackers – the old-fashioned style which many of our young children have not seen. You are at liberty to buy more at the counter if you wish. Our host has a variety of some real fiery fireworks too!
The price for this trip covers: dinner, firefly cruise, sky lantern and a set of fire crackers.
This is a day trip, so you won’t need to do much. If you are coming, there is not much to do except to fill in the entry form and email it to me. As with all FootWorks tours, you will need to sign an indemnity form.

BRIEFING SESSION
No, we don’t need any briefing. It is a very simple trip across to Johore River. You just need to meet me inside the car park in front of the old Jurong Bird Park (at Jurong). We’ll go there as a convoy. Any car is OK to come.
