Min. 8 pax to confirm.
This is a wonderful hiking area located in the heart of the Johor rainforest. These 2 lagoons of Seri Alam offer stunning scenery, dense jungles and birdlife galore. Lots of spots to capture Instagram-worthy spots along the trail, including panoramic vistas of the quarries.
You can’t miss the opportunity to explore an abandoned granite quarry in Johor, which offers an eerily beautiful post-apocalyptic scene for photographs. Venture a bit further, and a gorgeous blue/green lake reveals itself within this mini canyon.
Hiking to the Seri Alam Blue and Green Lake is worth considering for several compelling reasons:
🌊 1. Unique Twin Lakes (Blue & Green)
- The Blue Lake has a surreal turquoise colour due to mineral deposits.
- The Green Lake contrasts with a deep emerald tone.
Both are former quarry sites turned scenic lakes — a rare natural transformation.
🥾 2. Beginner-Friendly Hike
The hike is relatively manageable, making it accessible to beginners and families. However, proper hiking footwear is still recommended.
🏞️ 3. Beautiful Nature and Photo Ops
Surrounded by lush forest, the area offers great panoramic views.
Ideal for photography, especially during early mornings or golden hour.
Wildlife and flora are abundant — great for nature lovers.
🚫 4. Off-the-Beaten-Path
Not overly commercialised or crowded like the more famous Malaysian trails. A quiet escape into nature just outside Johor Bahru.
⚠️ 5. A Bit of Adventure
Some trails may involve minor climbs or navigating slightly overgrown paths. Adds a small sense of adventure without being dangerous (weather-dependent).
