#100WaysOfTravel A summer cruise on Kenyir Lake is an experience that brings you closer to nature in the most serene way possible. As we embarked on our boat, the vast expanse of the lake unfolded before us, surrounded by lush green hills and dotted with small islands. The air was fresh, and the gentle breeze carried the scent of the surrounding rainforest, instantly putting me in a state of relaxation. Gliding over the calm, mirror-like waters, I couldn’t help but marvel at the untouched beauty of Kenyir Lake. This man-made marvel, the largest in Southeast Asia, offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our boat ride took us past hidden waterfalls and secluded coves, each more picturesque than the last. The highlight of the cruise was when we anchored near a small island, where we took a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters. The coolness of the lake was the perfect remedy for the summer heat. As we cruised further, we spotted various species of birds and even a family of otters playing near the shore. The boat’s captain shared stories about the lake’s history and the unique flora and fauna that call it home, adding depth to the experience. The cruise ended with a breathtaking sunset, the sky painted in hues of orange and pink, reflecting off the lake’s surface. It was the perfect end to a day spent immersed in nature’s beauty. Kenyir Lake in the summer is more than just a destination—it’s a sanctuary of tranquility and natural wonder, a place where time slows down and every moment is cherished. #KenyirLake #SummerCruise #NatureGetaway #TropicalEscape #ExploreMalaysia #LakeLife #TravelDiaries #EcoTourism #WildlifeAdventure #SereneWaters

#springitinerary On this trip, we made a special drive to visit the Elephant Conservation Center at Kenyir Lake. We arrived on a Friday, but unfortunately, there wasn't much information online — and nobody mentioned that the center is closed on Friday mornings! It only opens at 2:30 PM. While waiting, we took up a local Chinese boat owner's offer and went on a lake cruise to pass the time (see photos 17 & 18). ⛵ The design of the elephant center is actually quite impressive: Visitors walk along suspension bridges above the enclosures 🪢 There are educational sections And close-up interactions with the elephants — great for families and kids! ✨ Highlight of the day: The elephant bathing sessions, which happen twice daily (check photo 16 for exact times marked in red). The final moment — when the elephants splash water — gets everyone screaming with excitement! 💦😂 If you're planning a self-driving trip to Kuala Terengganu, this spot is definitely worth adding to your list! 🚗 #Malaysia #Terengganu #ElephantSanctuary #KenyirLake
