Getting there

Car

If you're driving to Pahang River, start by heading to Kuantan, the capital city of Pahang. From Kuantan, take the Jalan Kuantan - Pekan road (Route 2). Continue on this route for about 30 kilometers until you reach the Pahang River area. Along the way, you will see signs indicating the direction to the river. Once you reach the vicinity of the river, you can park your car at designated areas near the riverbanks.

Public Bus

To reach Pahang River via public transportation, take a bus from any major town in Pahang to Kuantan. Once in Kuantan, you can catch a local bus that heads towards Pekan. Look for buses that mention 'Pekan' on their signage. The bus fare will typically cost around RM 5-10, depending on your starting location. After arriving in Pekan, you can either walk to the riverbanks or take a taxi for a short ride to the Pahang River.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, taking a taxi is a convenient option. Simply call a taxi service or use a ride-hailing app after reaching Kuantan or any nearby town. Inform the driver you want to go to Pahang River. The fare will vary based on your location but expect to pay around RM 30-50 for a ride from Kuantan to the river area.

Motorbike Rental

For a more adventurous option, consider renting a motorbike in Kuantan. There are several rental shops available. After renting, follow the same route as if driving a car. This method provides flexibility to explore the river and its surroundings at your own pace. The rental cost is usually around RM 30-50 per day. Be sure to wear a helmet and follow local traffic laws.
