Balik Pulau is renowned for its agricultural activities and is crisscrossed by a network of canals. As we depart from the Northern section, we are greeted by the vibrant sight of a river mouth adorned with brightly coloured fishing boats.

In the middle sector, a vast landscape invites you to explore its extensive network of trails. These paths wind through the palm trees, allowing you to ride beneath the shades of the oil palm foliage. It’s a stunning sight, but be cautious! Herds of wild cows can be easily startled and may suddenly change direction to cross our path.

Keep an eye out for other wildlife as well, such as wild boars and otters, along with many reptiles and various species of birds.

Today may be your lucky day, as you can enjoy refreshing coconut juice served by foreign labourers. To make it even more engaging, try your hand at the labour-intensive task of harvesting and gathering palm oil fruits. Discover the intriguing, two-sided story behind this controversial yet highly sought-after commodity. Palm oil is a versatile ingredient, and producers are making efforts to improve every aspect of its production.

Your outing with us offers an open invitation to spontaneous moments and real-life experiences, with no set itinerary.

As we return to a more tranquil setting, we ride through the rice fields. The expansive plains create a picturesque view, enhanced by various bird species dotting the muddy paddy plots and raptors soaring overhead. Our guide will provide insights into each bird, ranging from endemic to migratory species.

Finally, we reached the spot, a scenic picnic site. A delightful array of treats with a full range of flavours from the best of Balik Pulau helps reset your taste buds and uplift your spirits.

Indulge in these peaceful moments and rejuvenate yourself before your transfer back to the hotel.
