Things to do in Penang Floating Mosque

It was raining heavily in the morning, but we were able to enter the facility. It's reassuring to have an umbrella when visiting the butterfly area. Inside, there are many indoor insect exhibits, so you can enjoy yourself even if it's raining. We spent a leisurely three hours exploring. There's also a restaurant, and the pasta and Malay dishes were delicious. There weren't any drinks available for children, so I recommend bringing your own beverages. There were no vending machines inside the facility. My child was thrilled to see and touch both taxidermied and live insects. The rain stopped partway through, and we were able to enjoy the butterflies in the butterfly garden. If it's raining, the butterflies tend to rest, so I recommend visiting the indoor exhibits first. The Entopia original T-shirt was cute, so I bought it as a souvenir. We had a wonderful time. Experience: Excellent

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, and while the area near the cable car station was crowded, the park itself was noticeably less so. It was a rare opportunity for a forest bath, and the environment was very well preserved. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the treetop walk and skywalk offered great photo opportunities. As mentioned in other reviews, the network coverage nearby was very poor, and there was no network at all inside the park, so it's essential to prepare an offline QR code in advance. We didn't see any monkeys or squirrels in the park that day, and staff suggested they are easier to spot in the morning. However, we were lucky enough to encounter them all outside the park! Be aware that there are a lot of mosquitoes and insects inside the park; even after applying repellent, we were still a 'crazy buffet' for them, so be prepared. After exploring, there was a free shuttle bus back to the cable car station, which was a great arrangement.

Had a great half-day tour in Balik Pulau! Our guide CC was super attentive and very well-versed in heritage. He started by introducing us to bedak sejuk (cooling powder), a centuries old Penang skincare tradition-such a unique cultural gem! We then enjoyed delicious Fried Flat Noodles (Char Hor Fun) at a local spot in Balik Pulau. Although the Belacan factory was closed, CC still took the time to explain the entire belacan-making process to us in detail. He also shared fascinating insights at the Nutmeg Factory, the Container Art Festival, and capped it all off with a delicious durian tasting. His explanation of the Malay Kampong house's design and functionality was a real highlight. Highly recommend CC!

10/10 would repeat again. The customer services replying so fast! we got assistance from the staff. Everything went smoothly

The course is quite challenging, especially since many tourists are coming today. Overall, it's good to see, although I am somewhat disappointed with certain spots that are not yet ready for visitors. Perhaps the map is confusing, I don't know.

Bringing the children along, we re-learned about Sun Yat-sen's fundraising process. With encouragement from a third-generation wealthy individual, Sun Yat-sen, who was about to give up on the revolution, regained his ambition. This also spurred Chinese education in Penang. These historical details were not taught so thoroughly when I was in school. And now, children are almost forgetting that Sun Yat-sen was the Father of the Nation. Penang has preserved traditional Chinese culture, and I feel that the authentic Chinese culture in Penang is richer than that in mainland China or Taiwan. Although the guided tour was only half-completed due to time and other factors, I still felt that I benefited greatly.

Excellent tour! Our young guide was fantastic, giving us ample time to look around without feeling rushed.

Mr Eric Ng our guide was very knowledgeable. A very safe driver too. the roads were windy but Mr Ng navigated very well and courtesy let other driver pass so that we could enjoy stress free ride. While sharing many humorous and interesting anecdotes, Mr Ng also gave us a few insightful observations of the livelihoods of fishermen and famers.Mr Bg also completed our experience with a simple but very satisfying coffesshop meal. overall we enjoyed our tour immensely

Nice place to visit .. my kids enjoy & love it...will repeat again...
