What you can expect

Travel up Penang Hill for a spectacular tour of Malaysia’s pristine rainforest with a private guide. Visit the nature reserve known as The Habitat for a nature walk filled with flora and fauna, take in amazing views over Penang Island, and finish with a tasty lunch at David Brown’s Restaurant.

Your private guide picks you up from your hotel and transfers you to Penang Hill’s funicular railway for a scenic ride to the summit. Once at the top, you head out to explore The Habitat, a stunning nature reserve with ancient Malaysian rainforest, rolling hills, and breathtaking vistas.

As you walk the 1-mile (1.6-km) Nature Trail, observe the rich variety of flora and fauna and find out about the park’s commitment to rainforest conservation programs. A climb up to the viewing platform of the 43-foot-high (13-m) Treetop Walk and Canopy Walk rewards you with a fantastic vantage of Penang Hill.

Your outing in the rainforest ends with lunch at David Brown’s Restaurant & Tea Terrace, a cozy, British colonial gem hidden among lush greenery. Enjoy traditional English dishes paired with amazing views of Penang before your guide drops you off back at your hotel.

Note: This tour is subject to the operation of funicular train which requires periodical maintenance. Down time of the train service affecting your booking will be advised in advance.
