We always encourage teamwork & support in our activities, forging bonds & friendships that last along the way.
You don't have to be extremely fit or skilful outdoors to join us because our required stamina level is always @ "social level". We focus on activities that are fun in nature; exercise & muscle building is always secondary.
==================================================
There are many places on our island, and nature activities were many busy Singaporeans like to do but don't know where & how to start. It's always fun to do as a group. However with a busy workload, usually no one have time to organise. Despite my busy work life, I like to organize & enjoy different activities with anyone out there.
This is so far the most active group! Just Come to one of our activities & you will be hooked and love to join next time.
Life is short, enjoy your active years with my nature activities while you can! [b][color=red]Oh forgot to tell you: It's all FREE to befriend us! (No memberships, no AGM, boring meeting or club fees).

Seaside living, the rustic style: 2 easy yet scenic coastal hikes, 1 night camping by the sea, learn some basic survival skills & cook your own dinner with team effort.INTRODUCTION
The Selantai and Pulau Mawar hike in Mersing, Johor, is a short yet scenic coastal trail renowned for its dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear blue waters, and tranquil, untouched beaches. The route passes through coastal shrubs, sandy stretches, and rocky outcrops before reaching the iconic โHeavenโs Gate (ๅคฉๅ ไน้จ)โ rocks at Pulau Mawarโone of the areaโs most photogenic spots. Itโs an easy-to-moderate hike suitable for beginners, offering beautiful sunrise views and a peaceful, nature-rich escape by the sea.
Drone video of Heaven's Gate: CLICK
People flock to Pulau Mawar undoubtedly for the Heavenโs Gate view โ a huge rock arch that opens to the view of the South China Sea. In Malay, it is also known as Gerbang Laut or in Chinese, โๅคฉๅ ไน้จโ, which means โDoor to Heavenโ. Donโt be deceived by the photo; the actual rock arch is a lot bigger than it looks.

Pulau Mawar is located at the tip of Pantai Mawar beach, just a 30-minute drive north of Mersing Town/Jetty. Many years ago, it was indeed an island separated by a small strait from the mainland. However, after years of alternating high and low tides, a sandbank forms, connecting Pantai Mawar to Pulau Mawar. So, it is not a Pulau, an island anymore โ totally accessible on foot!
Bukit Selantai is a short but rewarding coastal hill hike known for its sweeping sea views and peaceful natural setting. The trail climbs gently through light forest and rocky terrain before opening up to panoramic vistas of the coastline, offshore islands, and turquoise waters. Suitable for beginners with a moderate fitness level.

Lambak Butterfly Trail Challenge - day hike
Marsiling MRT Bus Stop, Marsiling, Singapore, Singapore, SGReady for sign-up!
Question? WhatsApp organizer
โก๏ธ Pay to secure a slot
Min. 8 pax to confirm.Gunung Lambak (Mount Lambak) is a popular hiking destination located in the Kluang District of Johor, Malaysia, standing at an elevation of 510 metres. It is widely regarded as a beginner-friendly mountain, though it features varied terrain that can still provide a good workout for experienced hikers.
Hiking Overview
The mountain offers several trails ranging from paved roads to steep jungle paths.The Gunung Lambak Butterfly Route, Johor, that connects the two summits of Gunung Lambak (510m) in a shape resembling a butterfly. This intermediate-to-advanced trail is renowned for its steep, technical terrain, narrow ridges, and dense forest, making it a popular training ground for larger hikes.
Key Features of the Butterfly Route
- Total Distance: Approximately 10 โ 12 km (variations exist, with some short-cut routes recorded at 10 km).
- Elevation Gain: Roughly ~ 900+ meters, with steep, non-stop climbs. ๐ A few sections with ropes and tree roots only! Gloves will be good. ๐
- Duration: Typically takes 5โ6 hours, depending on pace and trail conditions. ๐ We will start earlier and allow more time for a slower pace. Safety is of utmost importance. ๐
- Highlights: Covers both the North and South peaks, passing through steep, rooted terrain, ridge walks, and dense, scenic jungle.
Route Details
- The "Butterfly" Concept: The route lets you summit both the North and South peaks in one go. You typically go up one summit, descend, and then climb back up the other to complete the "wings" of the butterfly.
- Terrain: Expect dense forest, sprawling tree roots, and muddy trails. Some sections have a 60-degree incline requiring the use of fixed ropes.
Who is Suitable?
Regular hikers, who have hiked in Malaysia's terrain before, will appreciate the beginner-friendly options: Panti, Pulai, Broga, Arong, Blue Lake, Bukit Mor, or the intermediate options like Datok and Angsi. This will be a higher level up your skills. Not suitable if you never hiked in Malaysia jungle terrain before. Parks & Garden not counted.Local breakfast and pack your own lunch - We will find a suitable food court or kopitam in Kluang town. This explains why we depart early 5 am, from Marsiling.
