Planning for a day trip to Putrajaya? Don’t forget to experience Cruise Tasik Putrajaya. This is an amazing experience that offers you a ride around the artificial lake of Putrajaya on a cruise.
I went to Putrajaya on a sunny day in May, during the Hari Raya holiday. I planned to visit the mosque and experience riding a horse in Equestrian Park Putrajaya, but sadly, they were both closed on that day. So I could only do the cruise tour operated by Cruise Tasik Putrajaya.
In this post, I’m going to share my experience on Cruise Tasik Putrajaya including all the information about the cruise, the Putrajaya Cruise price, and my review with pictures.

5. My review about Cruise Tasik Putrajiaya
I only experienced the sightseeing cruise and here is my review of it:
- The cruise interior design is modern and luxurious, and air-conditioners are available onboard.
- There are 2 balconies from which I could enjoy the breeze and the view of Putrajaya Lake.
- There is a presenter to explain the history or information about every landmark we pass by.
- The schedule is sometimes not correct as stated on their website or ticket counter. We came there during the holiday and thought that the cruise would depart at 11 a.m. as informed. However, we came to the ticket counter but no one was there until 12 p.m., and they said that the cruise ran at 1:30 p.m. Therefore, we had to go somewhere else for lunch and come back before 1:30 p.m. for the cruise. It was a scorching hot and tiring experience.
- When the journey is finished, they also sell photos of you standing next to the cruise. I can’t remember exactly how much it was (5-10RM). You can buy it as a memory.
