Feast your eyes and taste buds on nature’s wondrous bounty in this tour of Herbs and Spices Paradise located in Johor Bahru. Besides getting to know an amazing variety of herbs and spices from around the world, you will also savour a delicious meal cooked with ingredients fresh from the garden. To complete your experience, you can also opt to enjoy a half-hour therapeutic health spa (at your own expense).  

There will be a talk on the medicinal and everyday uses of herbs and spices before you go for the guided tour of the plantation.  

The plantation is planted with 135 types of herbs collected from all over the world. It uses purely organic system of cultivation, without chemical fertilisers and herbicides, producing herbs free from chemical contamination. The sprawling 1500 ha plantation is known to be the largest in Asia producing 6 to 10 metric tones of raw herbs and spices each day!  

Enjoy a healthy meal at the Herbal Cuisine Restaurant where the herbal theme extends to the elegantly carved panels. The stone pebble flooring makes for a revitalising foot reflexology experience as well. The plantation’s spa facilities feature two sauna rooms in each of the lodges. Each lodge is built around a theme inspired by designs from Japan, China, Korea, Finland and Egypt to achieve the most effective herbal sauna.

After the herbal paradise journey ends, we will head for JB’s shopping paradise for some retail therapy before dinner. 

The itinerary is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances. Replacement attractions will be decided by majority vote of participants.
