A Must-do in Penang!
One of the most informative tours I’ve been on. Our guides Princilia and SJ were engaging, fun and knowledgeable. They shared so many interesting facts about the flora and fauna, and the history, culture and daily lives of the local community, ensured our safety and well-being, and took great photos and videos of us. The bicycles provided were smooth and easy to ride, and the cycling was very enjoyable. A tour I definitely recommend!

True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

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.

We had a wonderful time on the half day tour with our family, including two children. Our nine year olds had no difficulty with the route, and they provided small bikes that worked perfectly. The route was beautiful, we spotted anll sorts of wildlife and we especially appreciated the introduction to village culture and agricultural products from small farms. Matahari is super helpful, when one of my kids left his hat behind it was returned to our hotel within hours. Absolutely recommended, and a big thank you to Princilia and AJ!

Only where you have walked on foot have you really been.

Wind in your hair in fresh country air.
Most enjoyable tour. Knowledgeable guides in Princilia & SJ. Varieties of flora/fauna spotted. Princilia pointed out edible plants. Also passed thru civilisation to visit a temple, a lesson on making face powder, great coffee and a view of salted fish drying in the sun. Linger long enough & you might smell like the fish. SJ enlightened us on the nutmeg industry + its history. Cycled along padi fields & tour ended with lovely lunch & seasonal fruit, mangosteen, seated in a shed by edge of padi field. Blessed with nice weather for a lovely end.

Pedal now, feast later!
I signed up for a cycling tour half-expecting to end up in a ditch, but instead, it was an absolute blast. The day kicked off with a hike where our guide casually pointed out plants and wildlife like a walking, talking National Geographic. Who knew nutmeg didn’t just come pre-ground in a jar?

Midway through, we had the world’s best coffee pit stop—which was less “espresso shot” and more “life support system.” Our water bottles were magically refilled by SJ before we even realized we were thirsty (honestly convinced they might be part wizard). Strategic snack-and-breathing breaks kept us all from keeling over, which was much appreciated.

And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, the day wrapped up with a feast so good it deserves its own fan club—served with views that looked like a desktop wallpaper.

Start to finish: 10/10. Would happily risk my quads again. 🚴‍♂️✨

12 km Erlebnistour mit Topservice
Wir haben die Tour als Teil unserer Malaysia Reise über ein Reisebüro gebucht. Von der Abholung im Hotel über den Ausflug bis zum Transfer zurück ins Hotel hat alles einwandfrei geklappt.

Bei unserer Ankunft waren die modernen Mountainbikes bereits startbereit, auf unsere Größe eingestellt und sogar mit unseren Namen beschriftet. Nach einer kurzen, aber gründlichen Instruktion sind wir dann losgefahren. Während der Tour ist man meistens am fahren. Es gibt einen kurzen Halt an einer Bootsanlegestelle, aber nur einen echten Zwischenhalt, bei dem man einen kleinen Tempel und ein Wohnhaus besichtigt sowie einheimische Getränke und Süssigkeiten in einem Dorfrestaurant degustieren kann.

Nach rund 12 km und 13 Höhenmetern erreicht man dann das Ziel. Die Tour ist auch für ungeübte Fahrradfahrer gut machbar. Die Straßen und Wege sind sicher befahrbar. Dank unserem frühen Start am Morgen waren auch die Temperaturen noch einigermaßen erträglich.

Im Nachgang zur Tour haben wir von Princilia, unserem Guide, viele Fotos und Videos der Tour sowie Tipps und Links für unsere weitere Reise per WhatsApp bekommen.

Wir nehmen viele schöne Erinnerungen mit auf unsere weitere Reise und danken unseren beiden Guides für das tolle Erlebnis.

Una experiencia auténtica en la naturaleza de Penang
Fue un experiencia increíble! Lo que más nos gustó fue la naturaleza y la comunidad local. El tour no es comercial es algo más auténtico y tranquilo en una zona agrícola de Penang.

Montamos en las bicis por caminos planos así que es fácil por todos. Vimos campos de arroz, la playa, la selva, templos, y zonas donde vive la gente local. También probamos la comida y café local muy buena.

Nuestra guía Princilia fue muy amable y sabía mucho. Nos explicó muchas cosas mientras íbamos en bici y también cuando visitamos las comunidad. Aprendemos sobre su vida diaria y el trabajo agrícola.

Lo que más me sorprendido fue el almuerzo en medio de los campos de arroz. Fue muy especial y diferente.

Recomiendo este tour 100% es una actividad sostenible, y hecha por la comunidad. Perfecto si quieres ver la verdadera vida en malasia no solo lo turístico.

Brilliant fun on the tropical spice tour!
Amazing day with Princilia and SJ on the tropical spice tour. We loved the hike up the mountains through the spice plantations, saw the durian trees, nutmeg, cacao - Princilia is so knowledgeable and was great at pointing out the birds and plants. Then we had a lovely cycle through palm oil plantations and rice fields, looking out for monitor lizards, monkeys and eagles. Amazing hosts and food, a must-do when you are in Penang, they go above and beyond to make your day special.

Brilliant Countryside Tour
We booked the Countryside Tour during our stay in Penang and we had a brilliant time! The tour was brilliantly planned, taxi was waiting for us in our hotel, the bikes were ready and working perfectly for us when we arrived and we were straight out for our tour. Princilia and SJ were both fantastic - extremely knowledgable guides. The cycle route was great (nice and flat in the heat) and we saw parts of the countryside we simply wouldn’t have seen and learnt a huge amount about the history of Penang and the area. The food was also fantastic - two types of delicious laksa for lunch and had amazing kuih as a mid ride snack. Can’t recommend them and the tour more highly! The ride was the highlight of our stay in Penang and we will be booking another tour next time we are there.

Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves.

We (2 adults and 1 child aged 12) thoroughly enjoyed the Balik Pulau tour offered by Matahari. Princilia and SJ are knowledgeable and kind. The tour is organised in a way that makes outsiders aware of the natural surroundings and the local society, including culture and industries. Also, the food was delicious and the lunch stop at Princilia’s “office” was a serene rest amid patty fields. Princilia emphasised safety throughout the tour. Matahari also has connections to local sellers in Georgetown for those interested in sourcing the products referenced on the tour and contributing to the local economy of small producers. We had wanted take the spice tour in the hills but it was all booked. In the end, we are so glad we took the Balik Pulau tour. Highly recommended!

A taste of the real Penang
I was hoping for a taste of the real Penang - of Malaysia? - and I wasn’t disappointed. A perfect balance of history, cycling and food in the most amazing scenery with knowledgeable, insightful and friendly guidance. Princilia and SJ (and their support team) made this one of the truly magical days of my holiday in this beautiful part of the world.
