Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Kek Lok Si Temple, 1000-L, Tingkat Lembah Ria 1, Air Itam, Penang Island 11500 Malaysia

Your driver will pick you up from your respective hotel at 2.30pm to begin this exclusive tour to Kek Lok Si Temple

Built in 1891 as a small shrine, it has since expanded to become one of the most majestic and largest temples in South-East Asia. Since its founding in 1930, the “Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas” is considered one of Penang’s most beautiful architectural wonders as it is able to incorporate 3 cultures into one structure – Chinese octagonal base, Thai middle tier and Burmese Crown. A 30.2m Guan Yin – Goddess of Mercy bronze statue was erected in 2002 on the highest point of the temple. It can be reached via an Inclined lift at the middle.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Penang Hill, Jalan Stesen Bukit Bendera Air Itam, George Town, Penang Island 11500 Malaysia

After that, you will also visit Penang Hill where you will ride a funicular train to its peak at 833m above sea level to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Georgetown and mainland Butterworth. Colonial bungalows can be found around this hill due to the British preferring to stay in a cooler climate compared to the hot and humid environment in the city.

Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: The Habitat Penang Hill, Bukit Bendera, Penang Island 11300 Malaysia

Continue your journey into Habitat Penang, hidden on the top of Penang Hill. A forest reserve since 1911 turned into an unforgettable nature trail through the lush tropical rainforest which is 130million years old.

Catch one of the best views of Penang Island and the mainland with golden rays of sunlight shining down on the rainforest from Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk. Enjoy an evening stroll in pure nature while the sounds of the jungle light up the beauty of the rainforest at night.

Start your journey with our Guided Nature Walk led by our specially trained team of Naturalists before ending your walk at Curtis Crest just in time for sunset. Enjoy the beauty of the setting sun from the highest viewing point on Penang Island on top of Penang Hill before ending your experience with a Guided Night Walk through our Nature Trail by lantern light.

If you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of our night residents including the Colugo or Flying Lemur, Giant Flying Red Squirrel, Tarantulas, Penang Gecko, and several species of frogs and other invertebrates. Listen to our hooting Owls and the many other animals that come out at only at night.
