Muar Street Art. Start in Muar town. The lanes are lined with murals, each telling its own Muar story. Great for photos.
Laman Bakau Parit Kassim, Parit Jawa. The mood turns calm here. You can walk through the mangroves, see the ecosystem and learn a little about mangrove conservation.
Kampung Sarang Buaya Homestay. More than a place to stay. You get to experience village life, join activities and watch dodol being made.
Laman Kupang. Not far away, see a fishing village and its mussel industry up close. Best of all, buy and try fresh battered fried mussels, grilled mussels and otak-otak.
HS Farmstay, Muar. A must with kids. In one place there is a mini zoo, a water park, accommodation and horse riding.
Shernita Onion Crackers, Tangkak. In Tangkak, stop for souvenirs. The must-try is the onion crackers (kerepek bawang), along with other traditional snacks.
Azzu Bahulu, Tangkak. Not just a place to buy bahulu: you can watch how they are made.
Laman Mahkota, Tangkak. A spot to slow down, stretch your legs and take photos around the crown monument before moving on.

Eco Tourism Kampung Sungai Melayu, Johor Bahru. Take a boat along the river and mangroves to see mussel farms and fishing village life.
