Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Construction at entrance. Looks like they're improving the park. Currently quite a bit of trash on the trail, broken handrails, very little if any signage. Sadly lighthouse is closed. Hopefully will open soon and be even more beautiful!

Gathered some of my friends, and off we go to Tanjung Tuan, situated in Negeri Sembilan. There were 7 of us, so we went there in two cars.
We took the route with no toll, as the scenery is better.
Arrived, the place has ample of parking space. We got down from our car, and started the hike. Actually, it is not so much of a hike, but more like slow walk up the hill. The walk up is easy enough for kids, and not-too-taxing for the elderlies.
Do note that the lighthouse is off-linits to visitors, but you can still take pictures fron the entrance.
Continue off further, and you shall reach the beach. Be amazed by the beach (but given the tide, I didn't see anyone taking a dip here). & if you are lucky, you get the chamce to meet the 'locals' here - the monkeys!!

Tanjung Tuan Recreational Forest is a small isolated patch of forest with a lighthouse at the top of the hill; and forest trails to the beaches of Pulau Intan (a tombolo), Pulau Masjid and Monkey Bay, and to a view point at the rocky peak of Bukit Batu Putih. Entrance fee is RM1/adult. An ideal time to visit would be in March, as we did, for the additional bonus of observing migrating raptors (in particular oriental honey buzzards) fly past and kettle above Tanjung Tuan, as they make their way back to East Asia during spring migration. It is truly one of nature's amazing spectacles. The best spots to watch the raptors would be from the lighthouse (not open to public but you can walk around it on a narrow path) and Bukit Batu Puteh peak. Peak times (weather dependent) are usually from 11 am to 3 pm, the hottest time of the day, so dress to protect from the sun (long sleeves, wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen). The only toilet is located at the entrance of the reserve.

It is a great location for everything you want, suitable to go with friends or family - hiking, swimming, picnicking, instagrammable lighthouse; just prep some food with appropriate attires & shoes for the trail. Did a different hiking route, moderate hiking level that going up and down, climbing the rocks cutting across to the other side of the beach then climbing up the rock mountain for the stunning view.

Really a cool park. We hiked all the way over along the beach from Lexis Hibiscus. There are cove beaches and lovely views and plant life. Be prepared for a good hike once you are inside the park! But that is what my husband and I were looking for so we had a great time.

What a beautiful and natural recreation place to visit! I and two young children visited this place without any planning. There is a hotel right in front of the entrance of light House. We took a walk up hill for 20 min to reach there. The light house only open for certain days through the year. However, there is also a bird seeing place too. Try the hiking trail downhill to the beach if you are prepared.

Tanjung Tuan Forest Recreation is an excellent spot for nature lovers. The hike to the lighthouse is relatively easy for someone moderately fit. It's takes about 15-20 minutes to reach the peak of Bukit Batu Putih which offers a breathtaking view of the ocean. From the lighthouse, one can proceed down towards the wonderfully uncrowded beach through a beautiful natural path. There is also good a trail for bird watching enthusiasts. I have returned to Tanjung Tuan Forest Recreation countless of times and is never disappointed.

If you intend to visit this place make sure you fit. Going uphill is very steep. Very limited parking. At the end hike a lighthouse which involves another climb but access to sea view is denied because it is locked.

There is a RM 1 entrance fee for each adult and it is free for kids. It is a 15 minutes walk up and some part of the journey was pretty steep. There is a place you can hike up to a beautiful stone and there is an excellent view there. The hike is an additional 15 minutes.
Also just to not, you may only walk around the lighthouse and not actually enter the place.

Park your car outside the gate & pay MYR1/ adult at the entrance. Wear comfy sport shoes as some path is steeper. Main path is paved but there are others that branched out to the forest/ beaches. Toilets are available at the entrance.

Open and close at what time? Peak hour during what time? Planning to for hiking to see the sunset.
Written 25 September 2019
yes. the trails aren't too hard and it's easy to find your way around. but like all hikes, it's better to have a buddy with you for safety reasons. be careful of the monkeys and wild dogs if you decided to go to the trail that leads down to the beach from the lighthouse.
