Penang Island Tour
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in George Town and start a minibus tour on one of the most scenic roads: Batu Ferringhi. Along the way, we'll admire white sand beaches until we reach a picturesque fishing village. Here we'll learn about the fishing industry and visit a local fruit stand. Following that, we'll attend a batik workshop to learn about this textile decoration technique.
Next, we'll visit the Temple of the Snake, which has a large number of reptiles, including the fearsome vipers in the Wagler pit. The area's humidity and incense smoke render them immobile and harmless. After this visit, we'll stop at food stalls to sample traditional dishes such as asam laksa and char kway teow.
Afterward, we will head to Kek Lok Si, the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia, known for its significant following. We will then climb to the top of Penang Hill for panoramic views of the island, ideal for photos.
Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Penang, concluding the tour approximately 8 hours after pickup.
