Desaru Fruit Farm Review [2024]

The Desaru Fruit Farm Agro Tourism has won prizes for being the “best agro-tourism site” in Malaysia.

The farm itself is 180 acres and has a tropical fruit farm, agricultural gallery, fish pond and vegetable and herb gardens. There’s also a petting zoo and educational talks on bees.

Since there are a few different things to do here (with different Desaru Fruit Farm entrance fee costs), I talk about these things separately below.

Desaru Fruit Farm Tour

The main thing to do here is a fruit farm tour. They say this tour goes for 45 minutes to an hour and is a walking tour exploring the agricultural gallery, fish pond and fruit farm. There is a honey presentation as part of this too.

You also visit a petting zoo. As part of this, you are also given some fruit to try… supposedly! We did not get a “fruit packet”.

I also read that you visit herb and vegetable gardens, but we did not.

This tour went for about an hour and a half for us which was far too long and was quite disappointing. We joined this Desaru Farm tour as we love the fruit in Malaysia and we were excited to learn more and see it growing.

However, most of this Agro Farm Desaru tour is not actually fruit or the farm at all 🙁

The tour started with us being called up to get on a bus to the start of the walking tour. However, then everyone else was told to get on, and we were told to wait five minutes for the next bus.

Five minutes later, we hopped on the back of the truck to the tour starting point. When we got there, the people who had been on the bus were already on the tour. We took some photos while we waited for ours to start…

Then we realised we were meant to join the other people on their tour.

So we missed the first part of the tour. The guide could have at least told us to join them. We only did when we realised we were the only people left standing there and there was no more guide. Either if he had though, we still would have missed part of it.

We then walked through the fruit farm a little, and the guide explained about a few different fruits. Exactly how we thought it would be.

Except there was about 50 people on this tour, many were talking and the guide’s english was heavily accented so hard to understand with so much noise going on. He then took a call, and we walked along without any information. So we only had a few minutes of actual touring the fruit farm.

We arrived at the Agricultural Gallery where we were told we could buy food to feed the fis,h and we had 20 minutes.

Standing by a shed and a pretty pond with fish for 20 minutes was not what I imagined on a fruit farm tour, but we tried to make the best of it. There was a little bit of information and some old bicycles and equipment in the Agricultural Gallery.

We took a look, fed some fish and then looked at some chicken coops.

We then realised the guide was talking about a hive, bees and honey… Again, we missed out and what was going on was not clear. He said at the next stop, we could taste honey including some bitter honey. I was excited for that as I hadn’t eaten bitter honey before.

So we walked on but ended up a petting zoo. This was one of those animal attractions that made me feel awful. The animals did not seem to be in a great environment and the stop seemed to be about making more money from people buying pet food than anything educational.

My 6 year old fell in love with a rabbit so that was a plus. There were also turtles, goats and more. Unfortunately, there was no water or soap and no way to wash your hands after interacting with the animals.

The 5-10 minute stop turned into 20 minutes and then it took another 20 minutes for the buses to show up to take us back.

On arrival, we were led into a room to learn about honey. We went along as I still wanted to taste the bitter honey but ten minutes later when this still hadn’t happened, we walked out early. We couldn’t understand the guide and it had all got too much. Plus, we were hungry.

As you can probably guess, I really don’t recommend this tour. Pretty much all we did was stand around waiting.

HOWEVER, keep reading as we did have other experiences here which were great.

You can take an ATV ride around the farm. We did this as we haven’t been on an ATV before and we wanted to try it.

We are glad we did!

It was lots of fun. The price includes a short training session, helmets and then you drive your ATV following a guide around the farm.

I did this with both my kids on the same ATV. We all had a lot of fun.

I can’t recommend enough that you buy the lunch here. It’s detailed as a 7-course lunch of fruit-infused dishes and soup.

The lunch is well organised. You simply go the restaurant when you are ready, and you’ll be seated at a table.

You can then access a fruit buffet immediately. This has many types of fresh fruit chopped up and ready to be devoured. It was delicious 🙂 There was also roseapple juice and water.

They started bringing out our dishes quickly. It started with a Tom Yum soup which was the best I have had. Then many more dishes came out as well as rice. A few were spicy, the rest were not, so there were food options my kids would eat.

There were 7 dishes plus rice plus soup plus the fruit buffet.

They all had fruit in them. For example, the chicken had a passionfruit sauce.

It was a lot of food for one adult and two kids as you can see pictured here. It was so good and it felt like we hardly made a dent in what we were given.

It wasn’t just great food, but I liked that it was a bit different with the fruit fusions. Honestly, I think it is worth coming here just for the lunch.

While you couldn’t pay me to do the tour again, I’d happy return and pay for this lunch.

There is a shop on-site that you can visit even if you don’t want to do any of the activities. It’s a great place to pick up some delicious fruit.

We were also able to try some roseapple in here and actually, the worker who gave us that gave us more information on it than we got on the farm tour!

There are some other foods in here as well. It felt a little like a mini Chinese supermarket.

How It All Works

I had read about the tour options before visiting Desaru Fruit Farm, but it wasn’t clear to me how the place works. For example, could we just show up and do the tours, ATV ride etc or would there be long waits? Do you need tickets in advance?

It was very busy when we came here, but it was quite well organised. The tours all ran frequently, and we were able to do everything straight away without a problem.

So you can just show up and be on a tour, ATV ride or have lunch easily.

Note, there used to be paintball available here as well as a ropes course, but this is not available anymore.

Desaru Fruit Farm Video Walk-Through

In the following video, you can experience what it’s like to visit Desaru Fruit Farm as well as the whole Desaru Coast for a weekend. This is a video walk-through of all the top attractions in Desaru (including this farm) and a stay at the Hard Rock Hotel Desaru. It’s the best way to get an idea of what you’ll see here.

Where Is Desaru Fruit Farm?

Desaru Fruit Farm Johor Malaysia is about an hour’s drive from Johor Bahru. It takes about 15 minutes drive from Adventure Waterpark in Desaru.

It’s possible to get here by bus with some walking and a lot of time. However, realistically, you need to drive here or take a taxi.

We visited here as part of our journey from Singapore to Desaru. You can hire a taxi for eight hours that can take you to the main Desaru attractions, like the Fruit Farm, on your way between the two places.

We can book this for you with a safe and reliable local operator.

Desaru Fruit Farm Opening Hours

The Desaru Fruit Farm Malaysia opening hours is daily from 8am to 6pm.

Desaru Fruit Farm Ticket Price

The exact Fruit Farm Desaru entrance fee depends on what you want to do when you are here. The base Desaru Fruit Farm tour package is RM30 for adults and RM25 for kids aged 3-11.

For this, you get the fruit farm tour and some cut up fruit to try.

Other activities are an additional charge, such as an ATV tour can be added on starting at RM55. As there were three of us, we could only do ATV2.0 which was RM220 for three people.

There are various other Desaru Fruit Farm package combos to help you save money by bundling some activities.

Final Words

Desaru Fruit Farm is an interesting place to visit with some solid options of things to do.

However, sadly the fruit farm tour is only a little bit about a fruit farm and mostly about feeding fish and animals. I really hope they change this at some point. We have been to some great fruit farm tours in other places, and I am sure this could be great too.

I do HIGHLY recommend the lunch though. It is fabulous!

The ATV ride was fun too.

So I recommend you go to Desaru Fruit Farm for the lunch and ATV, but skip the tour.

TESTIMONIALS

See latest reviews on our Google page ! There was flexibility in customising itinerary for our private group. HS was very patient, responsive and knowledgeable in helping my group plan our day trip to desaru. We were thankful to mr Rugu as well who did a gd job of driving us around safely. – Jaddine (Group of 8 on a Desaru Day trip in May 2019) Organization of transport and guide. It was well arranged and went on smoothly. – Rodney (Group of 28 on a Mt Belumut trip in Mar 2019) We had a fabulous time at Mt. Panti, thanks to 'I Wanna Travel'. The organisation was smooth from the beginning. My support, HS, was attentive to details and always available at my beck and call. The guide was friendly and encouraging. The last stretch of the climb before reaching the summit was thrilling. We absolutely loved it! We were treated to a large spread of delicious vegetarian Chinese food at the end of the trip. The highlight of the trip was the Firefly Cruise. What a mesmerising experience! Thank you for a great trip. We'll be coming back for more. – Arathi (Group of 5 on a Mt Panti trip in Nov 2018) Organisation of the trip was good as communication with iwannatravel was smooth and fast, and the itinerary planning was well suited for my group needs and wants. The driver, Mr Thina, was very accommodating towards our schedule and took care of our needs, example needing to buy rubber shoes, where he drove us to the shop. Our guides were well experienced and could pace and entertain us well with their knowledge and fun-loving nature. Mount Panti had more leeches than what we imagined though and the difficulty level of the treks was as what iwannatravel said, not to be estimated as it had moderate difficulty. Overall we had a good experience with our activities and accommodations! And would definitely recommend this trip for the more adventurous people. – John (Group of 9 on a 2D1N Mt Panti & Pelepah Falls trip in Dec 2018) The guide, Mr Azhar was very experienced. He was able to pace us accordingly and guide us throughout our entire trek to the peak and the Big Tree. The trek was not easy, considering it started to rain halfway thru the journey, making the route slippery but Mr Azhar was willing to guide us and pace us accordingly throughout so that we wont overexert ourselves. – Salmiah (Group of 4 on a Mt Lambak day trip in Nov 2018) The climb itself. Eventhough, the mountain itself is not that high, it still needs some form of resilience in order to reach the summit then to the big tree. The guide that was with us was a very experience one. He leads us all the way with lots of patience and give us some tips on how to overcome some parts of the trek.that was not so easy. Witj his level of expertise, we manage to.complete the trek.

Everything were great from driver to guide to dinner n cruise, we didn't shower at waterfall, rented a chalet for that instead with credit to your indian colleague, the chalet was value for money n did a big part in washing n recuperating after the climb, our older folks had a restful afternoon there too, overall had been a great experience n hs thanks again for ensuring that everything went on smoothly for us, kenny - Kenny (Group of 13 on a Mt Panti & Kota Tinggi Trip in Nov 2017) The trip was successful thank you and we all made it up and down in 9 hours.

Ying was quick in responding to queries and very helpful, giving tips according to her own experience climbing Pelapah Falls. Prasanth, the driver, was on-time, friendly and skillful. Despite the hours of driving and waiting for us, he always wore a smile on his face. Nan, our guide, was very experienced. He was like a fatherly figure who knew exactly what he was doing and that brought a lot of assurance to us. Pelapah Falls has its challenges but it was such a good experience for my friends and I. We had to tread through cooling rivers, climb using ropes, avoid giant ants and manage a few leeches but the amazing and therapeutic waterfalls made it all worth it. All of us were counted as beginner hikers and we all made it. So don't worry. Just do it! – Xiuqing (Group of 5 on a Pelepah Falls & Kota Tinggi Trip in Feb 2017) We have went for hiking in Mount Lambak. Though its our first hiking have enjoyed it to the full.

We were kept well-informed of what we needed to take note of as well, and all our queries were answered promptly. – Pearlyn (Group of 4 on a 2D1N trip to Mt Ophir in Nov 2016) Transport was great, the driver knew his way around well and was always ready to pick us up.

The hiking guide Azizi was really good also. Could tell he enjoyed his job and enjoyed the people as well. Friendly, fun and very supportive. Accommodation's facilities were quite old but the functionality is there. – Joy (Group of 17 on a 2D1N trip to Mt Ophir in Sep 2016) The trip was well planned and the guides provided were experienced and friendly.

He was really friendly and continuously motivating us. – Serene (Group of 17 on a 2D1N trip to Mt Ophir in Sep 2016) I really enjoy the whole travel experience. The driver is always contactable and prompt, and transport it’s quite comfortable. The mountain guide is friendly, and is knowledgeable and ensures that the last person is not left behind, and there are 2 guides provided to us for a group of 10 which I think is quite good. The accommodation at Melaka is quite clean and it’s within the tourist attraction; Jonker Street and there’s also some free and easy time to explore with driver provided. – Xian Ying (Group of 10 on a 2D1N trip to Mt Ophir in May 2016) The coordinators (Bob and HS) were very accomodating and patient in answering all my queries. They were also quick to provide our group with options for budget-friendly trips. HS also made sure that our group’s transport is comfortable by providing us with a friendly driver – Mr. Kumar. HS also provided us with a guide – Mr. Nan , who has ensured our group’s safety throughout the whole trek. Last but definitely not the least, our group loved the dinner at the Firefly Leisure Park. My friends and I had so much fun over the weekend. Overall, the organisation is excellent! *^_^* -Michelle (Group of 5 on a Mt Panti Day Trip in Nov 2015) Our driver was very accommodating. He never made us feel like we were imposing and always asked us what we preferred. As with our previous trip, I really did enjoy IWT’s responsiveness. The speed with which Ying managed to book everything was great. – Rachel (Group of 4 on a 2D1N trip to Mt Panti & JB in Nov 2015) A well-organised and overall pleasant trip. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we returned home in high spirits. On behalf of Yale-NUS GOYAC. thank you! – Yale-NUS Good Ol’ Yale-NUS Adventure Club (Group of 22 on a day trip to Mt Panti & Kota Tinggi in Oct 2015) Thanks Bob for organizing and leading this memorable getaway for me and my cousin. Bob’s attention to details was exemplary. He kept us constantly updated on the daily activities, meal times, coach timing and helped us get a good pair of kampung adidas for the caving which spared our shoes from getting drenched. Yeah, thanks for “saving” my “dao sa piah” from being ended up in the dustbin:)  – Willie Peck (Group of 2 on a Gopeng 3D2N Trip in Oct 2015) Despite the heavy rain, slippery and gruelling hike, it was a fantastic trip made possible by the guide Aiyee. Bob was very accommodating too. We managed Stong only but surely will come back for Ayam. – Piruz (Group of 2 on 4D3N Mount Stong Trip in Aug 2015) Loved everything about the trip! It was very well organized by IWT! Especially to HS! He was very informative in providing us with instructions and tips before the trip. Transport was on time and the driver was flexible in his timing. He was nice to recommend a couple of food places for us to have our breakfast and lunch. He even agreed to take us to our favorite massage place after the hike.  The overall hike was great! Definitely an experience not to be missed. The guide was very experienced too although he was only 21. He would constantly check on us when we slept in tents through the night. He watched out for our safety too. – Claire (Group of 6 on a 2D1N trip to Mt Ophir in Aug 2015) My friends and I felt that the entire trip was well put together from the arrangement to climb Mt Ophir to the extension of our stay in Melaka. The iwannatravel service was prompt and always on the ball. This was one of my best trips to Malaysia.  – Ian (Group of 3 on a 5D4N trip to Mount Ophir & Melaka in Apr 2015) We had a brilliant day climbing Mount Belumut after what we thought may be a show stopper – heavy rain in the morning which luckily cleared for perfect climbing conditions. The climb was a great challenge, and we have taken back memories of our wonderful guide, the twists and bends, the summit view, beautiful forests and wildlife. Thank you to Bob and his Team at Iwannatravel for arranging our trip and providing an unforgettable experience. – Rekha and Christian (Group of 2 on a Belumut Day Trip in Feb 2015) We thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

The hiking guide take good care of us. Is nice to know that HS call the guide make sure everything is ok. Well done! Thank you! – Eng Hwee (Group of 12 on a day trip to Mt Panti & Kota Tinggi in Aug 2014) We had an awesome time on Mt Ophir thanks to HS! He checked in on us a few times to make sure we were safe and even managed to get us some sparklers to play with.

Everyone pushed themselves to the limit and even though it was tough. With many encouragement from the organizers, everyone managed to reach the summit and finish the hike. – Wai Keong (Group of 15 on a Belumut Day Trip in June 2014) Climbing the mountain (Mt Panti) is great for us.

Desaru Trip Travel Guide: Resort, Transport, Food, Activities & Budget

After the pandemic, Desaru Coast has become very popular.

With its newly developed luxury resorts and idyllic coastal surroundings, it’s easy to see why Singaporeans flock to Desaru Coast for a weekend getaway.

In this Desaru Trip Travel Guide, not only will I be sharing my own experience in Desaru but also how you can plan for the best trip possible.

All tips and information in this post are 100% from my own experience having visited Desaru Coast several times, and not from some other blog.

Read on to learn more about the best ways to travel around Desaru!

1. How To Get To Desaru Coast & Transport Options

Before we begin, let’s figure out the transport to Desaru .

A reason why Desaru Coast is so popular amongst Singaporeans is because of how accessible it is.

Desaru Coast is also very well-developed, and you won’t have any problems spending 3D2N there without your own car.

So what are the transport options from Singapore to Desaru Coast ?

1.1 Private Car Hire

• Recommended way to travel
• It is affordable (about SGD 160) and hassle-free
• Comfortable MPV vehicle
• Door-to-door pickup and drop-off
• Direct transfer from SG to Desaru Coast
• Flexible travel schedule
• No need to alight with luggage at SG-MY checkpoints and customs
• Perfect for families, kids, elderly people , and group travel

1.2 Ferry (From Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal)

• The next best option
• Suitable for solo travellers or pair
• No need to endure traffic jam on causeway
• Doesn’t operate daily and limited departure time
• Might re-route during monsoon season
• Shuttle bus from ferry terminal in Desaru to your resort

If you’re taking a ferry to or from Desaru, below info may useful for you.

• Ferry From Singapore To Desaru Coast (Step By Step Guide)
• Ferry From Desaru Coash To Singapore (Step By Step Guide)
• How To Buy Desaaru Ferry Ticket

1.3 Public Transport

• There are options such as public bus and coach
• But public bus service has since been suspended due to higher demand for private car hire or ferry
• More economical choice
• Not recommended at all because of how impractical and inconvenient it is
• Not suitable for families, groups, or if you have a lot of luggage
• Have to alight twice at SG-MY checkpoints and customs

Sure, it might be pricier than the other options, but for your money, you’re getting comfort, luxury, ease of travel, and less stress.

2. Get To Know The Overall Area Of Desaru

I will only be covering the Desaru Coast area in this post.

If you’re looking for information about other areas in Desaru such as Bandar Penawar and Sungai Rengit, you won’t find it here.

The Desaru Coast area covers 4 resorts, a water park, Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal , and a golf course (Els Club).

While other locations such as Lotus Desaru, Sand and Sandal Resort, and Tunamaya Resort might SEEM near to Desaru Coast on the map, it isn’t.

For reference, I’ve circled popular areas such as Bandar Penawar, Desaru Coast, and Sungai Rengit in Desaru in the map below.

3. Where To Stay In Desaru

Please note the difference between Desaru and Desaru Coast. It’s important you know this so that you don’t mistakenly plan a holiday in Desaru!

Desaru Coast is a newly developed resort town in Desaru. Due to its seaside location as well as clean and well-maintained environment, Desaru Coast has recently gained popularity.

There are 4 new resorts in Desaru Coast (more in the next section).

4. Which Resort In Desaru To Consider 

These are the 4 newly developed resorts in Desaru Coast:

4.1 Hard Rock Hotel Desaru

• Connected to Desaru waterpark (complimentary entry tickets with each room you book)
• Family-friendly place for kids in and out of the resort
• Very fun and vibrant environment, not at all a quiet resort (in the best way possible!)

4.2 Westin Desaru Resort

• Seaview resort
• Most rooms are fronting the beach
• 5-minute walking distance from Hard Rock Desaru
• Very popular because of its seaview rooms and lower prices compared to Anantara Desaru Resort and One&Only Desaru Coast

For more information about Westin Desaru Resort, you can read my post below:

• 2D1N Westin Desaru Review
• 5 Dining Option In Westin Desaru Coast
• REVIEW: Public Beach At Westin Desaru Coast

4.3 Anantara Desaru Resort

• 500m away from Hard Rock Hotel Desaru and Westin Desaru Resort
• Highly recommended if you’re looking for a high-end resort
• Highlight: You can enjoy a movie in the field under the stars

For more information about Anantara Desaru Resort, you can read my post below:

• 3D2N Anantara Desaru Resort Review
• 4 Restaurant of Anantara Desaru Resort

4.4 One&Only Desaru

• The most expensive and luxurious among the 4 resorts in Desaru Coast
• Very private

5. Where Is The Best Desaru Beach To Go 

The beach is a no-brainer in Desaru Coast!

But which is the best beach to go to?

For starters, there is the Desaru Coast Public Beach , which is open to the public.

From there, you can walk to Westin Desaru Resort and access their beach. Walk further along and you’ll come upon the beach at Anantara Resort.

These aren’t exactly “private” beaches. If exclusivity is what you want, you’ll have to go to One&Only Desaru, which is located quite a distance from Anantara.

6. What Are The Top Activities In Desaru Coast

• Make a splash at Desaru Water Park

• Go on an educational tour at Desaru Fruit Farm 

Desaru Fruit Farm Farm Tour

• Spend time relaxing at the beautiful Desaru Beach

• Have a thrilling adventure at Dash Outdoors – includes water sports & outdoor activities such as ATV ride, paddleboarding, and more .

• Jam out to live music at Hard Rock Desaru

• Unwind with a drink at the Beach Bar at Westin and Observatory Bar or Infinity Bar at Anantara. The bars are clean, comfortable, and aesthetically-pleasing.

• Partake in activities (e.g. bird walking, strolling on the beach) available at the resort. Feel free to join activities hosted by any of the 4 resorts.

For more information, check out the ad posted on your room’s TV or enquire at the front desk or read this:  What To Do In Desaru

7. What Are The Best Food In Desaru To Consider

If you have your own car, this is an awesome chance for you to travel around Desaru in search of local Desaru food .

Some recommended spots to hit are Sungai Rengit and Bandar Penawar, which are away from Desaru Coast.

But if you don’t have your own transportation, there are other ways to fill your tummy.

Breakfast: 

• Complimentary at your resort.

• Order room service.
• Drop by any restaurant at Hard Rock Desaru, Westin Desaru, or Anantara Desaru.

• Highly recommended to visit Anantara Desaru’s Infinity Bar (located on the beach) and Observatory Bar.
• Hail a taxi and go to Yard & Co . It is a seaview cafe with really great food located in Sungai Rengit.

• Book a table at Sea.Fire.Salt at Anantara .
• Grab a car service to Nelayan Seafood By The Coast .

8. How To Get Around In Desaru Coast 

The only way to get around Desaru Coast (without a car) is by shuttle bus .

Each resort displays the bus schedule in their lobby. If you can’t find it, please ask the front desk.

The Desaru Coast shuttle bus is FREE and makes a stop at each resort (except One&Only). It has two routes, one of which will take you to the ferry terminal.

On Thursday to Monday & Public Holidays , it runs almost hourly from The Westin Desaru Resort <> Hard Rock Hotel Desaru <> Anantara Desaru Coast <> The Els Club Ocean Course <>Desaru Coast Ferry Terminal.

On Tuesday & Wednesday , it runs almost hourly from Hard Rock Hotel Desaru <> The Westin Desaru Resort <> The Els Club Valley Course <> Desaru Public Beach <> Desaru Waterpark <> Anantara Desaru Coast.

9. Conclusion: My Final Thought 

I hope this Desaru Trip Travel Guide has been helpful!

Don’t worry if you don’t have your own transport from Singapore to Desaru. It’s still relatively easy to get around if you need to.

At Desaru Coast, a 3D2N trip is more than enough to cover the beach and water park, including time for you to unwind.

I wouldn’t encourage you to cram your trip with activities, especially if they are located far away from Desaru Coast.

For a more relaxing holiday, try to stay within the Desaru Coast area.
