What you'll experience
Active discovery
This is a suggestion for those who like to discover places actively and want to see more than just the most popular attractions.
The green part of Penang
We'll set off on a cycling expedition through Balik Pulau - the peaceful, green part of Penang, where life has flowed at its own rhythm for decades. Along the way we'll pass traditional Malaysian villages, rice fields, tropical fruit plantations and mangrove forests.
A calm, flat 40 km
The route is about 40 kilometres long and almost entirely flat, so it also works for people who don't ride regularly. We go at an easy pace, stopping for photos, rest and tastings.
