We start from AUDI FARM (1 hour from Butterworth Penang). Weather is very cruicial. Journey total 2.5 hours with several stops at Palm Oil Plantation, Goat Farm, Malay en Chinese Fishing Village. Bicycles are not suitable enough for children below 145 cm or not strong enough to hold adult bicycles. Track 80% flat and seldom met cars, etc. View is not spectacular but surely suitable for family fun. At our time we were given complimentary : mineral water (starting) and Half journey we got goat milk based ice cream, yoghurt, pudding.
Really enjoyed this tour. Prompt pick up from the hotel. Chew was a great guide, stopping often to point things out along the route. Which was welcome as Im not that confident on a bike but loved the area and was a great way of exploring the countryside of Penang. Highly recommend
thoroughly enjoyed. Small group, knowledgeable guide, and we felt like the only tourists in a very non tourist area. Authentic
A wonderful bike ride through lush countryside, villages, orchards and visits to local farms. Our guide Chew was very kind and knowledgeable. A worthwhile escape from Georgetown and the beach. Highly recommended!
