Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

An exceptional experience, setting foot on the southernmost tip of continental Asia. Singapore's Jurong can be seen across the straits and Indonesian islands are somewhere to the west.
The area is a fully protected mangrove swamp. Lots of opportunities to sight species that make mangrove swamps their habitat.
Corporate and social organisations can participate in mangrove rehabilitation programmes for a small fee.

the place is quite a drive from the highway exist, but pleasant and enjoyable. The national park is not far (15 minutes drive away) from shops and restaurant.
I camped a night in the park and it was peaceful, quiet and nice. Clean toilet and with a bucket for cold water shower if you want.

Famed as the southernmost tip of mainland Asia, this park provides an extensive walkway for nature lovers to have a good walk among mangrove swamps as well as the seafront facing Singapore.
Good place for school students to get close to nature as well as learn about mud clams, snakes, water iguanas etc.
A must-go for everyone regardless of age. Fees are very reasonable, ranging from RM3 - RM5. Lots of nice sceneries to admire. Photographers will love this place.

After hours drive from Singapore today, December 27, 2015, I learned seeing a notice at ticket kiosk that access to southernmost monument was closed with no reopening date mentioned. No announcement on official website as well. Visitors, however, must pay normal entrance fees without any discount nor incentive offers. Furthermore, the fare was not acceptable international currencies such as Singapore dollars, which is stronger and more profitable than local currency RM. Toilets were not flush due to broken water piping. I see Malaysian tourism is wasting one of the world's best geographical attractions under poor management.

Honestly, I wouldn't come all the way here if it wasn't for a company road trip.
A part from being at the southernmost tip of mainland Asia, there is nothing must here. Unless you love reading about the different types of mangrove plants and animals. You need to pay to enter this park. And rubbish is found all over the mangrove. Its not a very good sight and to know that most of this rubbish might have been washed up from the sea or from other tourist visiting the park. Just shows how 'clean' we are in Malaysia.
When we reached the tip, everyone whipped out their cameras and took pictures with the big stainless steel globe just to make our 'mark'. I honestly rather visit other parks.

My family took a day trip to Tanjung Piai National Park to see the southernmost tip of mainland Asia.
After paying a small entrance fee, we entered the main building and was soon on a walkway with mangroves on both sides.
The signages were not very clear in the national park so here is a photo of where to turn to reach the southernmost tip.
You need to turn left where it points to Observation Tower 2. As you are walking out, you won't see the sign to the southernmost tip but when you walk back from the jetty, you will see it. It is on the reverse side of the signboard, which of course you will not notice when you are walking towards the jetty! For a while, we thought we went to the wrong location.
It was a nice 0.5km stroll on the walkway to the tip with a cool sea breeze.
BTW, the seafood in Kukup is over-rated and expensive. I can find cheaper and better crab dishes easily in Kuala Lumpur.

The park itself does look a little rundown and there are garbage everywhere. But it was explained in one of the descriptions that mangroves do functions as traps for garbage from the sea/ocean. People seem to not read I suppose when they complain about the garbage.
The amount of garbage should be a stark reminder to Malaysians to not throw their rubbish everywhere.
If you took your time and look closely, you'll find all sort of animals. I encountered some lizards, crabs and mudskippers. I found footprints of otters (that's what I think). If you stop to listen, you can hear different kinds of birds chirping and the macaques making noises.
I suppose they don't have that many staff to maintain the place so that's why it looks a little rundown. People should go here when the sun isn't burning you alive. I wish they open earlier and close later though.
But all in all, it's an okay place to take a brisk walk.

Honestly, we wouldn't come all the way here if we are not around Kukup.
There is nothing to see. No wonder the counter staff sold us 2 tickets for RM6.
We can't even reach the globe platform because every platforms is closed for renovation.
The further we go is the jetty plank walks!!! The trip was all done within 30 mins.
We do not mind to paid the entrance fees, but at least the staff should inform us about the undergoing renovation and the closing of most platforms. Feel cheated!!!

We came here by Oct 2013. The scene is great and we love its natural environment. There are lots of mangrove. We are very curious about these special trees which the roots are all above the mud. Because there is full moon high tide, the bridge toward the southernmost tip of mainland in Asia is flooding. We have to walk across the water bridge. This is very fun. We just like this refreshing experience. The tourist is few therefore you can walking freely and enjoy the beautiful view as long as you want. Recommend to anyone who love natural landscape.

Hi,
I would like to know long the visit would take for an average person? What's the length of the trail from end to end? Thanks in advance
Written 14 May 2019
It can take you anything from 1 hour to 3 hours, depending on your mood or what you really want to look at.

Hi all,
I would like to go to Tanjung Piai national park by public transport, as I don't have a car. I'm afraid taking a taxi the whole way from JB would be very costly. Do you know how this could work?
Thank you very much.
