99 Resort and Fishing kelong Johor — arriving by boat to the platform

Day 1 · Morning

Arriving at 99 Resort & Fishing — Your Home on the Sea

The adventure begins the moment you step onto the boat. A short transfer from the jetty brings you across the water to the kelong, where the two-storey platform of 99 Resort & Fishing rises up from the sea, surrounded by nothing but open water and sky. The boat pulls in alongside the platform and the kelong crew welcomes you aboard.

Once you have settled in, the scale and beauty of the place becomes clear. The resort sits directly on the water, supported by floating structures and sturdy stilts, with walkways connecting the fishing areas, relaxation decks, and accommodation. It is a world that feels entirely apart from the mainland — quieter, slower, and deeply refreshing.

Good to Know

Boat departures are in the morning. Arrive at the jetty at least 30 minutes before your scheduled transfer. Life jackets are provided on the boat.

Golden sunset over the water at 99 Resort Fishing kelong Johor

Day 1 · Evening

Sunset on the Water — One of the Best Views in Johor

As the afternoon winds down, the sky above 99 Resort begins to put on a show. The horizon turns a deep, burning amber as the sun descends toward the treeline, casting a golden glow across the entire water surface. From the deck of the kelong, with the resort's boat resting quietly beside you, it is a scene that feels almost cinematic.

There are no buildings blocking the view, no traffic noise, and no city lights to compete with. Just open sea, an enormous sky, and a sunset that reminds you why trips like this exist. Many guests say this single moment — camera in hand, feet above the water — is the highlight of the entire 2D1N experience.

Best Spot to Watch

The upper deck of the resort offers the widest unobstructed view of the sunset. Head up around 6:30pm and stay until the sky turns deep violet.

Fish Ponds & Kelong Platform — Life Above the Water

The heart of the kelong experience is the platform itself. At 99 Resort & Fishing, large fish ponds built into the structure hold live catches — sea bass, grouper, and other prized fish swimming in calm, contained water just above sea level. The reflection of palm trees and a blazing sunset in these still ponds creates one of the most beautiful and unexpected sights of the trip.

Guests can observe the fish, learn about kelong aquaculture from the friendly crew, and even try hand-feeding. This is also where fresh seafood for your dinner is sourced — as local and as fresh as it gets. The combination of working fish ponds, tropical plants, and a golden sky makes this part of the kelong feel like a painting come to life.

From Pond to Plate

Fish raised in the kelong ponds go directly to the kitchen for your dinner. The freshness is incomparable to any restaurant on land.

Fishing the Open Waters — Cast Your Line Any Time

Wooden walkways extend out across the water at 99 Resort, giving guests direct access to the sea from multiple points on the platform. Whether you are fishing from the main deck, the side rails, or the extended fishing jetty, the waters beneath are rich with marine life. Fishing rods, bait, and guidance are provided by the crew for all skill levels.

Common catches in these Johor waters include sea bass (siakap), red snapper (ikan merah), grouper (kerapu), and cuttlefish (sotong). The relaxed pace of kelong fishing — dropping your line and waiting in the sea breeze with no particular rush — is a completely different experience from fishing on a charter boat. It is contemplative, peaceful, and endlessly rewarding.

Day 1 · Afternoon

Jet Ski & Water Activities — Thrill on the Open Sea

For those who want more than just fishing, 99 Resort & Fishing offers one of the most exciting add-ons available on any kelong in Johor — a jet ski right from the platform. The Yamaha jet ski is ready and waiting at the dock, giving guests the chance to tear across the open sea and feel the full exhilaration of open-water riding.

Riding a jet ski with a full view of the bridge and kelong behind you is a uniquely thrilling experience. The water is calm in the resort's sheltered area, and the crew provides a quick safety briefing before each session. Whether you ride solo or with a partner behind you, it is an adrenaline rush that perfectly balances the relaxed pace of the rest of the kelong trip.

Activity Info

Jet ski sessions are available as an add-on and are charged separately. Confirm availability and pricing when booking your 2D1N package.

Iconic View

The Bridge View — Most Iconic Shot of the Entire Trip

One of the most striking features of 99 Resort & Fishing is its location directly beneath a magnificent cable-stayed bridge spanning the Johor waterway. From the water, the contrast of the sleek modern bridge soaring above and the traditional kelong platform below creates a scene that is uniquely Malaysian — old and new, land and sea, all in one frame.

The aerial view captures the true scale of the resort: a self-contained floating village on turquoise water, sheltered by the bridge above, and surrounded by open sea on all sides. This is the shot that ends up on everyone's social media — and the image that makes friends and family immediately ask, "Where is that? How do I go?"

Getting This Shot

The best angles of the bridge and kelong are captured by drone or from the upper deck of the resort. Bring a drone if permitted, or ask the crew for the best photography spots.
