Watch this if you're planning a 2-day outside-the-gates Desaru trip and want a family itinerary that goes beyond the Coast — fruit farm, ostrich farm, a Chinese temple village and the real beach — all covered in sequence, with honest notes on what to expect at each.
What’s in it
- The indoor alpaca petting section at Desaru Fruit Farm is the highlight of the farm visit — the alpacas approach you looking for affection, not just food.
- Desaru Ostrich Farm entrance runs ~RM 25 per adult; feeding kits are grass or corn; the farm groups birds by age, with the oldest introduced as the "great-grandparents" of the flock.
- The En Chinese Temple Village claims to be Malaysia's first temple village — eight small Chinese temples each dedicated to a different deity; a short stop en route between the farms.
- Yard & Co Café near the beach is a famous local stop — expect a long queue, especially at peak times. Plan early or skip the rush window.
- Lotus Desaru Beach Resort (outside the Coast gates) has an on-site seafood restaurant — a useful dinner option if you're staying outside the enclave and don't want to drive after dark.
More from this video
The ATV at Desaru Fruit Farm comes in a standard version and a more powerful 2.0 — the creator's advice: the normal ATV is good enough because the trail isn't particularly bumpy, and the 2.0 costs noticeably more.
The indoor petting farm turned out to be the pair's personal highlight of the whole fruit farm visit — the alpacas walk up to guests looking for company, not just a food hand-out.
The Chinese Temple Village is a short stop between the farms — the creator covered it in passing, quick enough to fold into a farm-focused morning without extending the day.
Our take: The best single video for outside-the-gates activities in sequence — covers the three main family stops beyond the resort gates in one clear 2D1N run.
