Best forest adventure ever!
My family had an awesome 2 days of adventure! Lots of forest and water activities! There are many levels of challenges so it's always very exciting. Staff are professional and fun. The competitions held for the guests injected a lot of interaction n laughter!
The weather is typically rainforest. Humid but lots of shade provided. Makes plunging in cooling water heavenly!
Immerse yourself in forest music as you zip, drop, swing, rocket through the lush canopy. We encountered huge squirrels, macaques up in the trees and unusual insects on the forest floor. Wish we had signed up for the overnight camping. Best forest adventure ever!
- Happy family from Singapore

Beautiful and intricate exhibits.
Beautiful and intricate nonya historical exhibits on display. 30 minute guided tour in English was informational. You will need a good 1 hour at least to have a leisurely visit, feast for the eyes. Not to be missed.

Great views of Penang
The place is easily reachable by taxi from George Town city center. Funicular goes up very fast. Views from the hill are incredible including peninsular Malaysia. You can go down walking or by the funicular. It is recommended to bring sunblock cream and a hat.
