Penang Tropical Fruit Farm Guided Tour

We enjoyed our guided tour with Rana who is knowledgeable about fruit trees he introduced to us and we enjoyed eating the different fruits besides the juice and fruits package we bought via Klook. Overall a fun tour but beware can be very hot and mosquitoes too. Also you can request the ticketing office to help book taxi to leave the place as we are near to closing time at 5:15 pm.

We arrived at 2:30 and were warmly received by a staff member who arranged for tour guide Eric to start the activity. Since we only purchased the guided tour program, the staff reminded us that we could add juice and fruit plate for an additional RM10 per person. Eric carefully explained the different kinds of fruits in the world, picked fresh fruits from the trees for us to taste and experience, and taught us how to choose the best fruits on the market. It was an eye-opener for us and we got to know many fruits we had never seen before. Finally, I couldn’t get a Grab at 17:00, so the staff helped me solve the problem. They close at 17:30, but it’s more expensive, but it’s better than staying on the mountain. It’s recommended to call a car as soon as possible after arriving, or participate in activities at an earlier time.

Attractions along the way: Many different varieties of fruits are introduced and available for tasting. The fruit boxes are fresh and diverse, and the juices are delicious and refreshing. However, transportation to the attraction is inconvenient; you can only get there by Grab.

Overall, the Fruit Farm visit was good and we were exposed to some of the local tropical fruits. The interesting bit about the farm was, it was able to plant several fruit trees which were previously only available in colder climates and there were some very unique fruit variants such as the yellow mangosteen, etc. The tour guide, Ong make it memorable for us by allowing us to try some of the fruits from the trees with a good explanation on the origins of the fruit. That certainly help to make our tour more interesting and memorable.

The tour at the fruit farm is interesting and informative. A pick up truck will take vistors to the farm. We get to sample the fruit enzymes, honey, fruit juice and a small tupperware filled with fruits at the end of the tour.

kids loved it as much as us adults. lots of tastings throughout the walk, guide was great at explaining everything. learnt so much

The tropical orchard happened to be run by Danny, a descendant of Hong Kong immigrants, who could communicate in Cantonese. He was very helpful in explaining the uses and characteristics of various plants and was very friendly. Although he introduced products, there was no pressure to buy. However, the location is quite remote, and we had to call a taxi to come in and then take us out. Hopefully, there will be a shuttle bus in the future.

located in teluk bahang area so quite secluded, but it was worth it. able to learn so many things and our guide, Eric is very knowledgeable and fun.

I enjoyed the trip, the guide was very informative and friendly. we paid an extra 10rm for juice and a fruit selection

I arrived late, but the staff was very accommodating. They arranged a guide to take me around the entire orchard, and I got to sample the enzymes and honey. The complimentary fruit platter and juice were also delicious.
