Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands: Waterfall & Tea Tour Transfer

Summary

Private Car Transfer with Lata Iskandar Waterfall & Boh Tea Stop

If you want more than just a ride from Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands, this private transfer lets you stretch your legs at Lata Iskandar waterfall and sip fresh tea at Boh Plantation along the way. It’s not just transport—it’s a real taste of Malaysia’s highlands.

What’s the experience like?

Leaving Kuala Lumpur behind, we hit the highway just after sunrise—city lights fading in the rearview. The air got cooler as we climbed, and I cracked the window for a whiff of damp earth. Our driver, Mr. Lim, chatted about local food stalls we’d pass on the way (he swears by the nasi lemak at Tapah rest stop). About two hours in, we pulled over at Lata Iskandar waterfall. You’ll hear it before you see it—a steady rush that drowns out passing cars. The water tumbles down granite rocks, splitting into little pools where kids splash around. There’s a faint smell of wild ginger from nearby stalls selling snacks and souvenirs. On weekends, expect crowds—families picnicking, vendors calling out for you to try fried bananas.

Back in the car, winding roads led us higher into misty hills. We reached Boh Tea Plantation just as the clouds started rolling in—felt like walking into a postcard. Rows of tea bushes stretched out in neat lines, bright green against red soil. Our guide explained how J.A. Russell started this place back in 1929, betting big on tea when most folks were worried about the Great Depression. You can peek inside the factory (if it’s open) and watch workers sorting leaves by hand—there’s a sweet grassy scent everywhere. Sipping hot tea on their terrace, I watched fog drift over the valley and realized why people keep coming back here.
