Welcome to Penang the Pearl of the Orient ! Penang has many facets, some of them are world renowned such as its myriads of street food and nyonya cuisine. Its capital city George Town, a world UNESCO heritage site is a living heritage of diversity of cultures, religions, races and festivals. But lesser known is some of its beautiful natural areas waiting for you to explore : ~ nestled in the north western corner of the island is Penang National Park, the world's smallest national park but boasts of at least 5 natural habitats i. e. the unique seasonal meromictic lake, lowland rainforest, freshwater streams, sea & turtle nesting beaches and mangrove. ~ pristine mangrove ecosystem on the west coast of the island ~ the central hilly region is 2 large permanent forest reserves and main water catchment area ~ Penang hills ~ Penang Botanic Gardens, famous for its majestic waterfall As a born and bred Penangite and professional licensed nature guide who specialises in ecotourism, it will be my pleasure to show you some of the island's hidden natural and cultural heritage. I do hope during your visit to the island you will take back some of the landscape, cultural, culinary beauty and wonderful images of its natural places.

Great way to learn about the wildlife, floral and fauna of Penang. We had a great hike and the weather even cooperated. Had a fantastic lunch at a very pleasant stream area with fresh Papaya, Mango and Bananas. Main course was Chinese Chicken Rice...excellent with the hot sauce! Learned about the variety of trees, plants and herbs of the jungle. Fantastic day overall!

It was a really great experience to discover Penang with Beatrice. I've spent an incredible day learning about the nature of the island. I 100% recommend it. Would have missed so much going alone. Beatrice is a nice guide with a lot of knowledge about history, Asia and all the world.

Beatrice was a superb guide. The best part of the tour through the National Park, Penang was the information &n history she gave us.Her personal description of the events of the 2004 Tsunami was compelling. The tour was not too difficult and we had a relaxed pace. Although we did not eat all the lunch Beatrice brought, we loved the local selection. My favorites were the rice with fish in banana leaves, coconut cake & fresh fruit. Beatrice's good humor and knowledge about Penang are invaluable.

Beatrice was highly communicative up until our tour date, advising of us clothes to wear etc. She was punctual and incredibly knowledgeable of the National Park. We enjoyed her company and intellect to converse with very much.

Beatrice is a jewel! She was in great communication with us before our tour date, and our day in Penang could not have been better. We booked Beatrice to introduce us to Penang via a tour of its National Park, and she did a great job. Starting with our on-time start, we were impressed with Beatrice's calm, strong, and delightful leadership style. She was very keen to our interests, and sensitive to providing more than we expected. Extremely knowledgeable; spunky, while extraordinarily kind :-)!

Excellent and so enjoyable. The tour was well paced, relaxed and informative beginning with the local market visit. Passionate and knowledgable about Penang and its National Park, Beatrice is a particularly good guide and great fun. Taking us out to the Turtle beach sanctuary via boat, watching sea eagles on the way, and then walking us to the National Park base back via dips in rock pools, Beatrice took time to pause so we could fully appreciate all. She cleverly paced the walk to our fitness level.
