Cycle around the idyllic countryside of Balik Pulau for the best way to discover the charms of Penang up close.
Away from Balik Pulau town, there is a labyrinth of minor roads, pathways and alleys. Sprinkled around it are paddy fields, a fruit orchard, plantation, mangroves, fishing village and dozens of traditional villages, or "kampung". Exploring the town by bicycle is a great way to seek out the Balik Pulau hideaways and experience the Malaysian countryside at a personal level.
You will be guided by a local expert from the 1st and only Penang Countryside Tour. Cycling tours depart every afternoon, as well as on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Eddie is an excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. This cycling tour takes you through the rural areas of Penang Island, away from the city life. The bike path is easy and flat so good for all ages. Highly recommended.
