Join us for a leisure hike, where the idea is to include hiking in our lifestyle. For the Leisure Hike series, we always look at a hike that isn't too intense, just to get our limbs moving, have fresh air, and hopefully good company too, and combine with an R&R activity. We'll do an easy hike for a sunrise view, enjoy being out in nature with a beach walk as part of the Arong trail, before heading for a yummy lunch in Mersing and then JB for R&R (massage, shopping, cafe hopping anyone?)
So bring your friends, make new friends and hang out together! There is nothing like enjoying Nature and good food!
Gunung Arong (273m) is a great short and rewarding hike in Johor, perfect for beginners who want a fun introduction to Malaysia’s tropical jungle trails. The trail is generally straightforward and well-marked, with a steady climb that is manageable for first-timers while still giving you a good workout. At the summit, you’ll be rewarded with 360 panoramic views of the signature heart-shape of Pantai Tanjung Resang (Resang Cape beach) and the South China Sea, making it a satisfying hike despite its short duration.
Can consider bringing your own snacks, coffee, floor mats etc while we enjoy sunrise and the view!
It takes around less than an hour to reach the summit and another hour along the beach. The total duration is around 2h. The idea here is to take your time to enjoy the morning walk, the fresh air and the sunrise. After which, we'll have a nice lunch in Mersing, before heading to JB where its free and easy for everyone to get massage/cafe hopping/shopping!
If interested, do whatsapp +65 8884 2635. A whatsapp group will be set up for further information and coordination.
A minimum of 12 pax is needed for this trip to go ahead. Your place is only confirmed once payment is made.
