We'll also make some stops along the ride for some local coffee and also visit a local family that have a goat farm. You may expect to see some of the hidden scenery in Penang. The ride will end where we started earlier. Pick up and return from Georgetown/Batu Feringghi is available upon request.
Other things to note
The riding is both on and off road, and while it is not especially challenging it does require some bicycle riding experiences.

It was lovely riding through the countryside with Eddie - we saw and tried so many new things (holding Javanese Cotton pods in my hands... so fluffy!...tasting nutmeg flowers straight off the tree... tasting goats milk from a local farm...), it is just a great change cycling out in the countryside after being indoors for so many months. There’s a good breeze this time of the year so the temperature was very comfortable too. Thank you Eddie for the great experience and great stories!!

A great short trip to see a the more rural side of Penang Island. the early morning start made it a pleasant experience with plenty of narration along the way. The route is a gentle one, on flat mostly tarmac roads. Highly recommended as a nice short morning excursion. Eddie is great and so easy going.

A great morning out seeing a part of Penang island that tourists rarely visit. Eddie collected us from our apartment just before 7am and dropped us back after noon. Easy cycling through a palm oil plantation, past a fish farm, visiting Malaysian and Chinese fishing villages and a goat farm, with a stop for refreshments. Eddie was an amusing and knowledgeable guide.

One in a lifetime experience! Wouldn’t have been able to do this tour on our own. Eddie was a fantastic host and was very accommodating—had water for us and snacks along the way. Learned a lot about Malay culture and was refreshing to get out of the city. 11/10 recommend.
