If there’s one place in Malaysia that you always hear good things about, it’s got to be Penang. Just off the west coast of Malaysia, this island basically ticks every box, be it history, culture or food. So why not take a breather and spend a day with the Balik Pulau + Batu Ferringhi Tour? This tour includes:
Pantai Pasir Panjang - Balik Pulau
This hidden serene beach is just the perfect getaway from the bustling crowd where you can enjoy the cool breeze of the sea with your feet in the sand. Close your eyes and hear the sounds of the lapping waves and have your doubts melt away. Or if you would much prefer, take some lovely shots of the beach whether it is for an online image to share or a personal memory of yours to keep.
Audi Dream Farm - Balik Pulau
Tucked away in Sungai Rusa, Balik Pulau, lies Audi Dream Farm. This lovely farm gives you a simple escape from the city and highrise buildings. From farm animals like chickens, birds, ducks, geese, turkeys, goats, horses, fishes and even deer, this place might give Old McDonald’s farm a run for its money. It’s not also just about getting personal with the farm animals as you too, get to be educated about tending a farm and caring for the animals. Don’t miss out on the feeding time for the animals too where you can feed them and watch them eat away on your hand for food.
Lunch
Savour a delightfully hearty homemade lunch prepared for you; piping hot chicken soup, plates of farm fresh greens to be enjoyed with rice. A perfect ending for a tour around Audi Dream Farm.
Teluk Bahang Dam - Batu Ferringhi
One of the most impressive engineering works on the island, Teluk Bahang Dam was built to provide an alternative water supply. Its clear deep blue waters that shimmer with the sky light and the hues of lush greenery that surrounds the valley creates a picturesque scene for one to remember.
Teluk Bahang Craft Batik - Batu Ferringhi
Established back in 1973, this was the first batik factory in Penang. Coming a long way, this special place still produces batik textile products and sessions set aside to educate people on the art of crafting batik. Take this chance to get your hand on a paintbrush where you get to apply the colours on a batik motif on a white shirt. When the painting is done, take a step back and admire the work you have painted. Who knows, you might bring out the creative artist in you. Learning doesn’t always have to be black and white, it could be full of colours on a batik.
