Nicknamed the Pearl of the Orient, Penang’s cultural gems extend well beyond its UNESCO-listed George Town. Escape the bustle of the Malaysian state's capital and admire free-roaming orangutans, temples at sunset, palm-fringed rice paddies, monkey-filled beaches, and caves crammed full of stalactites and stalagmites. These Penang day trips include round-trip transportation, so you can skip the hassle of renting a car or taking the bus and simply immerse yourself in your surroundings.
