By Car
From Kuala Lumpur to Tasik Chini
Head for the Karak Highway that leads towards Genting Highlands and follow route 2 all the way through Mentakab, Temerloh and Maran. Route 2 will take you all the way to Kuantan but you will have take a detour to the right into route 12. Travel straight down this road until you come across a sign to turn right into Tasik Chini. This will lead you through a monotonous landscape of palm oil plantations. At a junction, there will be a sign leading you to Tasik Chini and the resorts. Turn right into this road. About 3km down the road there is another right turning. The Kijang Mas Gumum Resort signage on this right turn will lead you to Kampung Gumum where all running resorts are situated. For Tasik Chini Resort, follow the road straight in for another 2.5km instead of turning right to Kampung Gumum
From Johore to Tasik Chini
Take the North-South Highway and turn off at the Bahau exit
From Kuantan to Tasik Chini
Chini is about 80kms from Kuantan. Head down route 2 towards Maran. Take the turning to the left at a junction into route 12, about 56Km from Kuantan. Look out for the signs to Tasik Chini passing Felda palm oil plantations on both sides of the road. A right turn at the junction just about 36km from the previous turn off.
By Bus
From KL to Felda Chini
The Mara Bus leaves KL from Medan Mara bus station at Jalan Raja Laut everyday at 4.00pm and arrives on the same day 9.00pm @ RM17.30 per person per way.
From Kuantan to Felda Chini
The bus leaves from the local bus station. Take Bus No.121 marked Cini which leaves 5 times daily. The first bus leaves at 8.30am and then every 2 hours thereafter @ RM5.00 per person per way.
From Felda Chini to the Resort
As all buses stop at the Felda Chini bus station, you will have to hitch a ride or catch a taxi to the resort, which is some 13km away passing by a palm oil factory and a lot of trash strewn all over. It's not the best to even try walking all the way to the resort - the scenery is appalling here and the air is pretty stuffy. So the best way is to call Mr.Yusuf at H/P: 010-9897 435 or house no. (6)09-422 1435 prior to your arrival and he will pick you up from the bus station. The taxi fare will cost RM20 per taxi per way. When leaving Tasik Chini, one of the staff will drop you off at the bus station.
By Taxi from Kuantan
If there are 4 of you going, then it would be most convenient and economical to hire a long distance taxi that can be arranged through the Kuantan tourist information office. The fare costs approx. RM60 per taxi per way but it takes you all the way to the resort itself and total travel time is only 1 hour.
