Reviews
The River Cruise was fantastic and very well organized. The Guide, as well as, the lady at the ticketing desk were very polite and helpful. The guide was really a fun guy, who made the 90 mins cruise very enjoyable with his jokes and light heartedness. He takes you around the river, until it reaches the ocean and on the way (and return) you catch a fish, try to catch a crab, pluck a Mangrove Apple, learn about the fisherman boat, fishing boats etc. and so on. The only thing that you may not like is that the river itself was a bit dirty and you could see the amount of garbage people throw into that beautiful river. Towards end of cruise, the guide will be picking up quite a bit of garbage which is a standard practice in every cruise. Also the water seemed dirty and I just hope that the Government and people there, continue to take efforts to make it clean.
What an amazing experience! We left on time, came back on time, had fun doing the activities and the staff were very friendly and fun! it would be a fun activity to do with your family as well. Thank you for the amazing experience!
We truly enjoyed the Penang River Cruise as a family of two adults and two children. The 90 minutes passed effortlessly, with beautiful landscapes and an engaging guide who shared entertaining stories and fun facts. What made the experience even more meaningful was knowing that it contributes to the ongoing project of cleaning rubbish from the river. The only aspect that felt questionable was the demonstration involving a cowfish — pulling it out of the water to show how it stands seemed unnecessary and detracted slightly from an otherwise wonderful experience.
Wasn't able to do the activity because of the river was too high to do it safely but company was proactive and communicated that early as well as several options on how to adjust the day including a refund. We would have rebooked but we left Georgetown the next morning. Also note the activity is on the mainland and not near Georgetown.
Absolutely loved everything a lot this serene and beautiful experience. Check out my full review video on my social media channels
it was a fun and engaging activities
Great activity! The boat is excellent, the views are fantastic, and the guide shares a lot of information. They keep an eye out for animals, though the surrounding nature alone is beautiful to behold.
good Safety: good Location: good Instructor: good Equipment: good Experience: good
Totally worth the try! 😍thank you
A very pleasant ride along a river with fishermen's villages. A few stops to show how locals fish. The (woman) guide is very sweet, but her English is difficult to understand, she speaks too loudly into the microphone, and tries to make a lot of jokes. I think it would be easier for us to understand her if she spoke less and slower, just about what we're seeing, and pointed things out by saying, "On your left/right..." instead of "here/there". It also would be good if she used the clock reference, e.g., "On your left at 11 o'clock...", or "On your right at 2 o'clock..." In other words, make it more about the river and the conservation efforts than about entertaining the customers.
