A town park with the face of the Muar River.

Plan your visit
What to settle before you set off.
Tanjung Emas is public space, so the actual experience depends on weather, weekends and which vendors are operating. Use this as your baseline, then check the map on the day.
Hours & best time
The Tanjung Emas Muar Google Maps listing showed 06:00–09:00 and 15:00–19:00 daily when checked on 19 October 2026. These are park listing hours, not a boat timetable or every vendor’s hours. Follow on-site signs and confirm current access.
Hours for open space, activities, the jetty, stalls and vehicle access can differ. Check Google Maps or operator information before you leave.
Tickets / cost
Normal access to the public park needs no ticket. Separate activities such as river cruises, games or vendors may charge a fee.
- Avoid relying on old prices from reviews.
- Check operator charges directly on the day.
Parking
Use designated parking and follow local signs. Current charges, restrictions and available spaces have not been confirmed; do not assume parking is free or that private land is available.
On weekends and late afternoons, arrive earlier and follow the signage. Do not assume an adjacent plot is official parking without confirmation.
How long to allow
1–2 hours is enough for the promenade, photos and a slow break. If you want a river cruise or a meal in town, make Tanjung Emas part of a half day in Muar.
- Morning: walking or jogging, lighter crowds.
- Afternoon: sunset, families, a livelier mood.
