Balik Pulau Cyling Tour with Local Villages Visit in Penang

Had a great morning doing the Countryside Bicycle Tour in Balik Pulau. Our guide Sam was super friendly and shared lots of local stories along the way. Loved the animal feeding stop, the crab farm, and the chilled drink at the farmhouse. Riding through the rice fields and coconut plantations was beautiful, Overall a really smooth and fun experience!

We had an amazing time on the Balik Pulau Cycling Tour. The tour guide, Uncle Sam, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It was a relaxing and enjoyable ride through beautiful sceneries like lush green paddy fields, rustic kampungs, fishing villages, and vibrant vegetable farms. We also got to see some local farm animals along the way, which added to the charm of the experience. If you’re looking for a unique way to explore the countryside of Penang, this tour is definitely worth it!

it’s a great trip that my kids get to experience the nature that’s not available in the city. Sam is a very good guide and very knowledgeable. The cycling was not too tiring. Has many stops along the way to take photos and to learn about the paid field, the organic fruits, the animals etc. Overall we were glad that we have gone for this cycling tour. It has added colour and fun to our short trip to Penang.

Free island-wide pickup and drop-off, the itinerary is not tiring, the country roads are flat, suitable for family cycling. Ride through rice fields, villages, beaches, and mangroves. You can see all kinds of tropical fruits, crops, birds, fighting mudskippers, and even turtles... The tour leader is very enthusiastic, explains things in detail, and is patient! He also runs a B&B and rents out bicycles. If two and a half hours (stopping several times to see the scenery, so you don’t actually cycle that long) is not enough, you can rent a bicycle again and explore the peaceful villages of Balik Pulau yourself!

enjoyed the event. guide can speak fluent English and explained everything. we met not just local villagers but also many birds and animals. highly recommend.

Lovely sceneries with an extremely helpful and friendly tour guide. The tour guide took the initiative to help with our photo taking and encouraged us to try out the different fruits along the way. Very knowledgeable and comprehensive experience. Even the shutter service from our accommodation was smooth. The charter driver Mr Henry was very nice to drop us off to our desired destination as well.

There was a car that took us from our hotels to the cycling place, but was a bit of a squeeze - would have been nice to have a minibus perhaps. Guide was great explaining things in detail and telling us stories, as well as letting us try fresh produce along the route.

We had fun and totally enjoyed ourselves during the whole tour. Mr Sam shared lots of information and life experiences at every pit stop and it made our trip all the more enjoyable. The pit stops made were beautiful too

If you're visiting Penang, you absolutely must come! The beautiful rural scenery offers a great introduction to Malay culture... it's truly worthwhile.

We had a great time with Mr. Sam Lim, he shared great insights and life experience during the bicycle tour. Stops made: paddy fields, cow and buffalo farm, mangrove forest, organic farm, fishing village and my favorite Audi Dream Farm (🐴🐐🐰🦃🐔🐦🐠🌻🌻)
