There are a few options for getting to Moonriver Lodge if you do not have a car. We advise all travellers to plan your journey well in advance to avoid confusion.
ON A BUDGET: Public transportation + shuttle transfer
For those who are budget conscious and keen on embarking on an adventure of navigating the Malaysian public transport system, here’s how you can save a few ringgits and still find your way to us.
- You must make your way to Kampung Raja which is the closest town to Moonriver Lodge.
- Take a public or chartered bus from the main bus stations in Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Ipoh to Cameron Highlands.
- Before your bus departs, try to request the bus driver to drop you off at Kampung Raja. If he/she declines, you will be taken to the bus station at Tanah Rata in Cameron Highlands.
- From Tanah Rata, you may either take a taxi or a public bus to Kampung Raja. A taxi seats 4 persons and costs around RM80.00-90.00. The public bus heading towards Kampung Raja depart every 2 hours and cost about RM8.00.
- We offer shuttle transfers between Kampung Raja and Moonriver Lodge for RM10/pax, one way and RM20/pax, return. Please book the shuttle transfer with us in advance and inform us your preferred pick up time. Pick up times are at 2.00pm or 5.00pm.
- Once you arrive at Kampung Raja, you can have a meal or buy any necessary provisions. We will pick you up from the Kampung Raja bus stop where the bus dropped you off.
- For your onward journey after Moonriver Lodge, we suggest buying a bus ticket in advance. If you are travelling to Kuala Lumpur, Penang or Ipoh, you can buy a ticket from the counter at the Kampung Raja bus stop (see rates in the table below). If you are travelling to Taman Negara, you will need to book a transfer from Tanah Rata and stay overnight at Tanah Rata the night before your departure.
- Important: We recommend for you to purchase tickets for your onward journey from the Kampung Raja bus stop instead of the Tanah Rata bus station. This is the only way you can board the bus from Kampung Raja. If you purchase tickets from Tanah Rata, you will have to make your way to Tanah Rata to board the bus.
