Kota
Tinggi Waterfalls
 Located
56km north of JB, the Kota Tinggi Waterfalls have for years been renowned,
not only for its continuous rush of cool waters that run down the slopes
originating from Gunung Panti and cascades 34 meters into a pool deep
enough for swimming, but also for its beautiful, tropical surroundings
of flora and fauna. A few chalets have been built near the falls for visitors
who wish to spend the night and be rejuvenated by the fresh mountain air.
A restaurant serves both Chinese and Western food. There are also food
stalls. A camping site has been opened for the young and adventurous.
Ample parking space is available for buses, cars, and motorcycles.
Johor
Lama (Old Johor)
 Johor
Lama is a small quiet village 19km from Kota Tinggi on the banks of the
Johor River. Historically, it holds many secrets to the past, particularly
since it served as the seat of the Johor Sultanate after the fall of the
final destruction of the town fort by the Portuguese in 1587. The earth
mount fort has since been restored.
Desaru
 A
major tourist attraction, Desaru the "Village of Casuarinas", is just
8km northeast of JB. Situated on a 25km stretch of virtually untouched
beaches, it is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, boating, canoeing, windsurfing,
water-skiing, catamaran-sailing, and even jungle trekking. One can also
make arrangements for night fishing on a floating pontoon. There are two
first class beach resorts, several chalets, and other amenities. Golf
enthusiasts can try a round of their favorite game at the nearby 18-hole
international standard golf course. Food stalls and restaurants provide
some of the finest Malay, Chinese, and Western cuisine.
