      This was a fantastic bike ride we toured through the countryside and by rice fields. Lunch was also there and was so peaceful, we learnt a lot as well . Excellent guides and organisation. Would definitely recommend to see a bit of Penang that we had not experienced

      Great experience in the country side

      Chi_L, Dec 2025
      Great ride through the village on the western end of Penang Island. Super well organized and lots to learn about the locals. Amazing lunch in a surprising office location at the end!

      Amazing Tour! Absolute must!

      This tour was brilliant! We hadn’t rode bikes for a very long time but it didn’t matter. The ride was easy enough and great fun with lots of local knowledge and history thrown in. The ride takes you through some amazing scenery and the lunch provided was delicious. SJ and Princilia were great tour guides too! Would highly recommend!

      Escape the city tours

      We had a great tour of Balik Palau and surrounds biking along country lanes. We even had lunch in a rice field. Our guides Princilia and SJ gave us a lot of background information into village life. They were very caring and their correspondence was above and beyond what we expected.

      A lovely ride through the countryside

      My granddaughter (15) and I really enjoyed this experience! SJ and Princilia made this a very fun and interesting experience. The riding was either on paved roads or dirt or gravel trails and was level, making the riding easy. We went through a variety of terrain-through small villages where we stopped for a local snack and to learn about village life. Then through a palm oil plantation where we learned about the production and harvesting of palm oil. We ended riding through lush rice fields and having a picnic with local food before heading back to the city.

      Cultural Bike Ride

      Garry_M, Mar 2025
      Great experience on our bike ride through the local villages, mangroves and paddy fields. Very well organised and lead by Prin with support and local knowledge from SJ. It’s so much more than just a bike ride. It’s a cultural experience! Fantastic Malaysian (served hot) lunch served in the hut at the end of the ride. I know such more now about how the local community in South West Penang live their lives and support each other.

      The best!!!

      Kristen_H, Jul 2024
      This tour was special. We cycled through the hamlets, lush orchards and plantations of western Penang, getting a close up view of local life. Not a tourist in site! We loved interacting with the smiley locals and hearing about their world . We ate exotic fruit straight off the beaches. Not to be outdone by the monkeys playing around us as we rode (we loved this so much). Prinscilia and SJ were the best guides, totally know what they are doing, go above and beyond. Five stars without a doubt

      Must-do tour

      Jill_S, Feb 2024
      What an amazing experience for me and my husband. Top quality bicycles, and Princilla made the tour one of our best ever. She made sure we were safe and comfortable with our ride through some of the prettiest countryside, sharing her knowledge of local lifestyle and customs. It was well-paced, giving us many chances to stop and see the many point of interest. A must-do!

      Wie gesagt: toll organisierte Radtour für jedes Level,viele neue Erfahrungen über Land und Leute,Fazit:super,gernewieder

      Heike_D, Feb 2024
      Wir erfuhren auch über Land und Leute ,was sehr aufschlussreich war,auch dabei sein zu können,wie die Früchte an den Palmen durch schwere Arbeit abgeerntet werden müssen,um später zu Palmöl verarbeitet zu werden,es selbst auszuprobieren war beeindruckend.Keiner wurde aufgrund der guten Organisation radfahrtechnisch überfordert,wir haben uns gut unterhalten,ein leckeres Abschlussessen bekommen,alles bestens,gerne wieder,dankeschön 🥰
