Durian Tasting Tour & Farm Experience in Penang

Thanks Kim & Eric for organising such an amazing durian tasting tour! We got to taste so many different varieties of durian, and we loved every one of them. Thank you for your dedication to growing natural, organic durians without unnecessary chemicals. It was great to see the hard work and passion you put into running the farm. We had a wonderful time and will visit again the next time we're in Penang, highly recommended!

Thank you Kim and Eric for arranging such amazing durian tasting journey. They showed us the fundamental of organic farming.Please don’t call yourself silly for not using pesticides and chemicals. it is totally worth it. The venue where we enjoyed the durian was clean and neat, as well as the toilet.We had plenty durian with different characters.it was as though a taste bud adventure and very month drooling.I hope your business will thrive.will definitely come back next year.

Honestly, if you consider yourself a durian fanatic, this tour is absolutely the most worthwhile and astonishing experience in all of Penang! I already felt incredibly happy eating durian in George Town a few days ago, but I truly never imagined that taking an hour-long drive into the mountains to this purely organic orchard in Balik Pulau (the owner, Eric, mentioned they've maintained a chemical pesticide-free approach for over 80 years) would offer such a fresh and impactful experience, eating durians right after they fall. It's on a completely different level from what I usually eat in Hong Kong! Today truly set a new personal record for me; I devoured 8 varieties in one go: Green Skin, Hor Lor, Kun Poh, Kim Poh, Xiao Hong, Jin Yu, D15, and the legendary 600! Because all of them were naturally ripened and eaten within 2 to 6 hours of falling, the flesh was incredibly creamy, with absolutely no watery texture. The most amazing thing is that today I actually tasted popcorn 🍿, pure natural coconut 🥥, and intensely rich black coffee ☕ flavors in the durian! I seriously wondered if I had gone to a high-end dessert buffet instead of a durian orchard. At the orchard, I also got to experience picking and eating the juiciest rambutans and mangosteens right off the trees. Eating mangosteen after durian to cool down was simply superb. Although it's an hour's drive from the city into the mountains, this perfect taste is absolutely worth the price. A friendly reminder that to protect the ecosystem, the orchard requires advance booking through Klook; walk-ins are not allowed! I will definitely sign up again next time I visit Penang!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but i was really blown away by the experience. We were treated not only to a "tree to table" durian spread, but we also learnt a lot about the importance of nurturing the land, and hearing from Eric how they work with nature, keeping circularity in mind to ensure that their durians are like none other. In terms of transportation, do note that you would need to arrange for your own transfer there and back, but just drop Kim a text and she will link you up with a driver who will get the group there are back safely. Overall a really positive experience, especially seeig how Eric and Kim are both so passionate about what they do. Truly inspirational!

We were deeply touched by Eric & Kim's passion for running their durian farm! That day, we sampled nearly 10 varieties of durian, many of which I had never tasted before, which was a delight! The drive from Georgetown to the farm took an hour and involved navigating winding mountain roads. My husband and I initially wondered if it was worth the hour-long journey to the mountains when we could find affordable durians everywhere in Georgetown. However, after the experience, we both agreed it was absolutely worth it. My husband, who isn't a durian enthusiast and usually goes to great lengths to avoid them, even said he'd like to come back and bring his mother. There was also a group of friends from Singapore there, who had visited several times before and told me I'd definitely return, which I completely agree with. Additionally, there was a group of Vietnamese friends from Australia, and everyone had a great time.

Very educational and satisfying. Eric was cheerful and friendly and shared with us many interesting facts about durian farming. The “magic trick “ using the lime and “hill coconut “ was amusing. The variety of durian tasted was good. before this trip, I only love maoshangwang. now I know there are much better type that are not seen in my country yet.

We had a fantastic time touring this organic durian farm! Big thanks to Eric, Kim, and their son for hosting us and making us feel so welcome. Eric's passion and knowledge are incredible—we learned so much about the history of durians in Penang while getting to sample a fantastic variety of fruits. It was such a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommended for any fellow durian lovers visiting Penang!

The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable. You can feel their love for their farm as well as for Mother Nature. The durians are very fresh and delicious. This has been a truly unique experience for us.

A special experience, highly recommended for a visit! The farm couple shared their passion and dedication to organic farming. Besides tasting dozens of durians, we also learned about many unique plants. It was a truly special and wonderful experience.

Fantastic experience & highly recommended! Eric and Kim were great hosts who shared with us their passion & commitment towards organic farming. Learnt about unique plants besides the amazing durian feast where we enjoyed 11 types of durian. Kim also helped to arrange an MVP to accommodate our 5 pax group. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
