Overview

This half-day cycling tour offers a way to see the rural side of Penang away from the busy city of George Town. The tour lasts about four and a half hours and includes hotel pickup in George Town. Participants will be transferred to Balik Pulau to start the cycling route. Cycling around Balik Pulau provides access to local villages, plantations, fruit orchards, mangroves, and fishing communities along small roads and paths where bicycles are treated like pedestrians. The group will spend time exploring the town by bike, which covers more ground than walking and offers a breeze during the ride. Stops include a walk around a traditional Malaysian fishing village, a visit to the family-run Saanen Dairy Goat Farm, and cycling through the Sungai Rusa countryside and plantation areas. The tour includes all cycling equipment, a local guide, bottled water, and applicable fees and taxes.
