Visit Johor 2026 officially kicked off last month. Using Kuala Lumpur as the starting point, a car ride takes a little more than four hours to Johor Baru. You can look forward to returning events like the Johor International Outdoor Festival, Amazing Tangkak Festival, and Ombak Festival – a music and culture festival in Desaru Coast. There are also extreme sport events making a return this year, like the Viper Challenge Johor and Gunung Arong Challenge. Island hopping is possible in the Mersing district, which usually includes islands like Pulau Rawa, Pulau Tengah and Pulau Besar.
