This is great if you’re after a temple to tick off. Most of the ground are free to walk around there plenty of shade and places to sit down if you need a break from the sun(shaded obviously) you can pay 2ringgit to enter the rest of the ground which includes the viewing tower. We missed the cable car to the bigger structure above which would have been worth doing so try find that.

I don’t like butterflies and insects but still managed to enjoy this place. There weren’t that many butterflies around as it had just rained. Fun for kids too!

First, the good side. The tour carefully select the places we are going to visit. There are two more Buddhist temples, besides Kek Lok Si, to visit in the tour. One is a Thai styl tmeple. The other Burma style . But Kek Lok Si is the main one and rightly so.You do need a car to go up to the main temple. This is a plus.Then we visited The Chew pier before we visit the other main site, the Khoo Kongsi.This sis a lavish community hall of the Khoo clan and is very worth visiting. The guide , Ah Shing, explained reasonably well and is also quite attentive to our need, eg he would start the car earlier so that it is cool down a bit in this hot weather.Howeer, there are four things that the tour need to improve. First, it should arrange a brief lunch. It is unreasonable to expect one could last from 10am to 3 pm without eating something. Second, a bottle of water should bee provided . Simple thing, I know. But it is not done.Third. Given the importance of Buddhism in the local history, I feel the guide do not know enough in this area. Fourth,the wall painting sites are all passed by without opportunity to take photos.

Perfect and excellent... good. Tourist guide is professional one. He can introduce a lot of information of Penang... Awesome

The experience up the Penang hill is made more fun by our tour guide Ms Su Li. She is very engaging and informative. She is only very helpful and pleasant. The trail in Habitat was very nice and the occasionally swings stationed along the trail makes resting more pleasant and sweer. The children enjoyed the zipline and it is not to be miss. Great fun for children and family. For younger children, they can pair with their parents - great bonding, great memory. The steamboat is disappointing but the view is spectacular.
