    TC was our guide. Very informative on local culture and wildlife. We learnt so much.
    Easy 7km ride on ok bikes. Well worth the experience to get away from busy Penang.
    Tasty pastry and coffee on the way too. When TC picked us up (7am) he thoughtfully brought us breakfast!

    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!

    We took the classic Balik Palau Countryside tour (1.1) and loved it! Definitely a highlight of our trip to Penang and probably our favorite experience overall. SJ and Princilia are Malaysian national treasures; the time and effort they have spent creating and curating this experience deserves praise and recognition. They have developed relationships with local communities and their clients reap the benefits; we learned more about the people of Malaysia in one day with these guys than all the other tourist activities combined…and had a great time doing it!

    They both were fun and showed each of the members of our tour such kindness. I cannot recommend this company enough. If you plan to go to Penang, this is a must-do activity! They made sure everyone in our group was taken care of and had fun, no matter the fitness level and aptitude for biking.

    Lastly, not only is this company a great experience for those visiting Penang, but it’s good for the people of Penang. Princilia has a love for the common folks of Malaysia and it shows in the ethics and composure with which she and SJ conduct the tours.

    If we ever make it back to Penang, I won’t hesitate to take another tour with them. Matahari is an awesome business and I hope others can learn to emulate their model.

    Great day. Tailored to suit us by Ronnie. Lunch was a lot so don’t eat too much before you go. The fast lane at Penang hill was fabulous. Very little wait time.

    Phillip was an amazing guide, very accommodating, very knowledgeable and wisdom. The fruit farm can be prone to power outages so be aware of that as this may mean that you could miss out on the free fruit shake.

    I rated average bc it was a rainy day for our trip. Hence not much of good photos taking on a wet day. However, am happier to ride the Furnicular Train. A great view on a not rainy day. Tour guide was average. Due to rainy weather; he bring us around places but not much to view as it was rainy day.
