• Please make sure you have your Immigration Cards filled in, one for each person (not each passport).  Cards are available from all major hotels in Singapore, Changi Airport or the Malaysian Consul.
• Singapore registered cars must have at least 3/4 full tank of petrol when exiting the country.

From Singapore via Woodlands, The Causeway & Johor Bahru

Note:  You will need a small amount of Malaysian Ringgit for Tolls (up to RM 50), parking (RM8 per day) and jetty fees (RM5 per person). The drive is just over 2.5 hours, please give yourself 3 hours for the journey.

• Cross the Causeway.
• Follow the car signs through the new system  REMEMBER stay in the right hand car lane if you do NOT have Malaysian Immigration cards OR a Malaysia Auto Pass (RM20 or RM50).
• Coming out of Customs there's an overhead sign for Route 3 to Kota Tinggi & Mersing.
• Keep to the left hand lane, watch out for high speed local traffic merging from the right
• Take the first left exit, just after the garage, stay in the right lane having exited.
• Turn right (north) at the lights, effectively taking you under the road you just left, following the signs to Kota Tinggi & Mersing. This is Route 3 and will take you all the way to the turn off for Tanjong Leman.
• You do not have to go through Kota Tinggi as there is a by pass. If you wish to fill up with petrol or if you have children and they need to ‘go’ we suggest that you go through Kota Tinggi and use one of the service stations there. Most toilets cost 20 cents, take your own toilet paper!  This will only add about 15 minutes to your journey. 
• *46 km from the end of the Kota Tinggi by pass (a large intersection with signs to Desaru) turn right through a check point onto the Tenggaroh Plantation.
• From the turn off to the beach is 28km.  Follow the signs to Pulau Sibu, Tg. Leman (there is one left turn & one right turn).

*There is now a sign to Tanjong Leman at the Sedili turn off, 13km north of Kota Tinggi. You can follow this route if you like, it is very pretty BUT there is a long stretch of narrow windy plantation road, complete with free roaming cows, where you will NOT get ANY mobile signal and the pot holes are quite bad at the moment. It is not very busy so if you should break down you could get stuck for a while. NEVER use this route after dark. If you wish to follow this route here are the directions:

Turn right at the Sedili junction, go 21km to the traffic lights

Turn left and cross the bridge, after which you will enter Tenggaroh Plantation, go 22km to a T junction, turn right.

Go 1km and you will see the right turn to Tanjong Leman, it’s another 11km to the jetty car park.

• There is a security barrier at the entrance to the car park, if it's been left open just drive straight in. Go to the left, round to the right, to the end of the first parking area, take the small roadway that veers to the left, following it round to the right and you will be in the main parking area that Tg. Leman jetty.

• Crossed the bridge

Alternatively you can turn off the motorway at Kluang and cross country there, but it is a winding single lane road and can be frustrating!  You then turn south on Route 3 towards Kota Tinggi and Johor Bahru.  About half an hour on you will see the Tanjong Leman turnoff on your left (there’s a small BP station on the corner)
