With its sun-soaked beaches, lush jungles and vibrant culture, Desaru is fast becoming a go-to destination for adventurers. But if you’re up for a few thrills, here’s how you can get your heart pumping in this coastal paradise.
Jet Skiing
With the sun out in all its glory, why not hop on a jet ski and race across the waters? Nothing compares to that feeling of sheer exhilaration with the wind in your hair and the beautiful coastline whizzing past you.
Banana Boat Rides
If you’re in Desaru with friends or family, a banana boat ride is the perfect way to make a splash and enjoy plenty of laughs. Make sure to book your ride with a reputable operator and don’t pass on the safety gear.
Waterpark Adventures
You can also step away from the shores to enjoy a water adventure of a different kind. If you’re based at Anantara Desaru Coast Residences or any other coastal villa in Johor Bahru, head straight to the Desaru Coast Adventure Waterpark, where thrilling waterslides and lazy wave pools await.

Thrilling Jungle Treks
Perhaps you fancy surrounding yourself with verdant greens rather than the ocean’s blues. In that case, lace up your boots and head to the Panti Forest Reserve for an exciting trek where you’ll encounter vibrant flora and fauna.
