Print out these directions if traveling from Singapore to Tanjong Leman by Bus & Taxi:
Please give yourself 3.5 hours for the whole journey.
Either Catch the 170 bus anywhere around Singapore that takes you across the Causeway and all the way to Johor Bahru Bus Terminus. Or go to Queens Street Bus Terminus and take the Singapore / Johor Express which will also take you to Johor Bahru Bus Terminus. Slightly more expensive but air conditioned and fast! Or take a taxi to Johor Bahru (or to Woodlands and walk across the Causeway). Nowadays there are quite often long distance taxis just the other side of the Causeway and it is not necessary to go to Larkin Bus station to catch one. If there aren’t any then take a local taxi to Larkin Bus Station. Or take the MRT to Kranji Station and take the Causeway Express from there to Larkin Bus station.
(Start here for directions by taxi from Johor Bahru. Please give yourself 2.5 hours for this journey.)
At Larkin Bus Station get a Long Distance Taxi to Tanjong Leman. If the driver is not sure where Tanjong Leman is tell him Tenggaroh Plantation (which most of them seem to know). The cost of the taxi should be RM 180. At Tanjong Leman there is a Jetty Fee of RM 5.00 per person, children under 4 yrs free of charge. On departure taxi’s are available from Tanjong Leman back to Johor Bahru.
On arrival go up the main stairs in the middle of the jetty complex. There's a window on your left to purchase the jetty coupon (RM5 per person). The toilet is to your right and costs 30 cents (without paper). Do not touch any of the cats there, if your children do wash hands immediately! Our boat drivers will be there looking for you, in Sea Gypsy tee shirts. If the boat is not there please have a cuppa but if it's more than 10 minutes late please call +60 3 8320 3191 (or +60 19 719 1219).
