🛳️ Start at Swettenham Pier

Your tour guide will welcome you in the morning directly at the cruise terminal.

Pick-up is carefully coordinated with your ship’s docking schedule, so you can begin your day relaxed and worry-free.

🚐 Culture & Tradition to Begin

Your day starts with a brief city drive followed by a visit to the magnificent Kek Lok Si Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia.

Admire the towering bronze statue of the Goddess of Mercy, explore beautifully decorated pagodas, and enjoy panoramic views over Penang.

🌿 Rainforest Hike

Next, embark on a guided jungle walk of around 1 hour through the lush tropical rainforest of Penang National Park.

Along the way, you’ll discover exotic plants and wildlife, with fascinating insights provided by your knowledgeable guide.

🛶 Boat Ride to a Natural Phenomenon

After the hike, enjoy a 15–20-minute boat ride along the coast to a remote natural area.

Here, you’ll encounter a unique ecological wonder in a compact space, featuring five different ecosystems:

Lowland rainforest
Hill rainforest
Mangrove forest
Tropical sandy beaches
The Meromictic Lake – a rare phenomenon where, during the rainy season, freshwater and heavier saltwater layers remain separated and do not mix – an extraordinary sight!

🌅 Return to the Pier

After this enriching day filled with natural beauty and cultural insight, you’ll be taken back comfortably and on time to Swettenham Pier.
