Tanjung Tuan Sunset Hike

Tanjung Tuan (Port Dickson) Sunset Hike on Saturday, 6 June 2026 ... This hike is unique and rewarding, yet challenging where the forest meets the sea. Other than the forest trails, it has the beach view, rugged coastal rocks, hidden sea caves, beach glamping café tucked away in forest, and a viewing platform superb for sunset.

Distance: 6.7km;

Elevation gain: 404m;

Total time: 5 hr 15min.

Start hike: 2:15pm;

Sunset photos shoot: from 6:55pm to 7:14pm;

Return to trailhead: 7:30pm.

Beach glamping café tucked away in the forest

There are two routes to reach the summit of Bukit Batu Putih:

1. The Beach Route: Pass by the beach glamping café, followed by a steep rock climb to the top;

2. The Trail Route: Pass by the viewing platform, then use the installed ropes to ascend the final rock face.

To arrive at the hidden sea cave, the common route is to start from Cape Rachado Lighthouse. Be sure to check the low tide level first; otherwise, the cave could be submerged in water. Google "Tanjung Tuan Tide Time" for the website; the low tide level has to be 0.5 meter or lower in order to access to the hidden cave.

Tanjung Tuan Hike

Tanjung Tuan hike on Wedn, 29 April 2026 ... That was the first time that I hiked at Tanjung Tuan Forest Eco-Park. Hiking there has the beach and rocky views, other than the normal forest view. There is a hidden sea cave beneath Cape Rachado Lighthouse, only accessible or visible during low tide.  

Trail Lead: Mr Looi Chin Beng (Gillian Ong's friend). 

Team members: KC Leong, ChanHN, ChongYF, Gillian Ong and Rose Cheong.

High tide: 5:40am; height: 2.2m;

Low tide: 12 noon; height: 0.68m;

7:30am – we could walk on the rocks (no water) of Monkey Beach (west side of cape);

9:20am – the cave was exposed.

Even though the lowest tide is at 12 noon, the water would have already receded hours before. We didn't have to wait until 12, but it depends on whether the previous high tide was higher or lower. If it was higher, it would take much longer time for the water to recede enough to expose the cave.

The hidden sea cave is exposed ... KC 

It was an action-packed day for our Tanjung Tuan excursion. After waking up at 3 am and leaving Kuala Lumpur at 5:15 am, we arrived at our destination by 7 am. The hike concluded around 11 am, followed by lunch in the Tanjung Tuan area.

We visited a few places:

1. PD Mayangsari Campsite;

2. PD Waterfront;

3. Aivee Chong's Grovey Floating House (Sepang);

4. Bagan Lalang Beach and Campsite;

5. Tanjung Sepat: Lover's Bridge; savour the famous pau; dinner at Baywatch beachfront area at 5pm.

Another entrance of the cave

We experienced heavy rain twice: one when we arrived at the floating house; the second moment was when we just arrived at the restaurant for dinner. We finally returned home at 8 pm, completing an enjoyable and rewarding 17-hour journey.

The cave is just next to the sea ... Rose

Lata Medang Waterfall

Lata Medang and Lubuk Mecu Waterfalls hike on Saturday, 11 April 2026 ... the waterfalls are located at Kuala Kubu Bharu; trailhead parking shares with Bukit Kutu hike. A RM3 per person fee applies for passing through the Orang Asli village.  

Do CLICK HERE to view photos taken by yours truly, KC Leong.

Timing:

1. Twisted bridge to Y-fork = 5 min (turn left; go straight to Bukit Kutu);

2. Gunung Rajah Y-fork = 30 min (turn right; keep left to Gunung Rajah; passing by nice campsites and river on the left);

3. Lubuk Mecu Waterfall = 1 hr 15 min;

4. Upper Lata Medang = 10 min (passing by lower Medang).

River crossing is not required.

Many big yellow bees that were attracted to the sweat; but they were not aggressive and did not sting, unless provoked. Maybe this is the season for abundance of bees. One week ago, it was reported of similar encounter at Lepoh Waterfall, Hulu Langat.
