Penang Day trips

It was a good 1-hour experience with the kids. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too hot, which made it even better. It was nice to be able to eat fruit and see plants that are common on farms. One downside is that the English guide didn't seem to have excellent English skills. However, there were no communication problems at all.

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!

Thank you to Josh for sharing his hometown knowledge. We would highly recommend this tour.

It was an extraordinary experience with straightforward communication with the tour guide for pickup. The areas visited (Penang Hill with the funicular railway and the Kek Lok Si Temple) were impressive. Especially around the time of the New Year festival, the temple was decorated with many lanterns. There is so much to discover and see, you could spend a whole day there. It was simply great! On the way back, you can also be dropped off at a Hawker center for lunch instead of returning to the hotel hungry.

this was such a lovely time, a thoughtfully curated tour by our amazing guide Garrick. It was a pleasure to be able to learn about George Town and Penang from the eyes of a local foodie, all the food was amazing, would highly recommend this tour

Ranjit - our driver / guide displayed high levels of hospitality. He showed us the Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang hill. He was very knowledgeable about the places and it’s history. The program was well structured and we were able to cover the places leisurely. We look forward to more trips with Klook. Thanks

Such a great trip. A must do activity. Eddie was one of the best guides we have had. Perfect timing. Learnt lots. Scenery great. Stops spaced well and lots of variety. Only negative was didn't get a confirmation the night before but did get an email early morning of. Would highly recommend this day trip.

One of the most beautiful places in Penang! Loved the kampung vibe and enjoyed the best Red Prawn durian! Shout out to our professional guide Mr Law who went above and beyond in ensuring we are well taken care of and in sharing his knowledge. ☺️

We are a family size of 3 (with a 4yo). Uncle Jimmy our chauffeur came to get us from our hotel at Georgetown and took us safely and comfortably to Balik Pulau. Rizal was our ATV guide. Being the only female, he allowed me to be second in line with my hubby and boy the next, followed by a group of 5 (all male). He constantly checked on us throughout the ride, gestured to stop at various locations and assisted us in taking amazing photos. He gave us a heads up what to expect in the next leg of journey (e.g. Cow). Last stop was at Hutan Paya Laut, a swamp forest leading to the ocean where we met the friendly ginger cat before making our way back. Uncle Jimmy was already there waiting for us to take us back to our hotel. Had our complimentary lemongrass drink and a slice of banana cake at Love uu cafe before hoping into Uncle Jimmy's car and bidding farewell. My 4yo enjoyed it so much! Thank you Rizal! We will be back!
