There are plenty of outdoor activities for the adventurer in Penang.
Today I spent the afternoon hiking to Pantai Kerachut and a boat trip to Monkey beach for a relaxing drink by the beach before heading home.
Taman Negara Pulau Pinang is possibly the world’s smallest national park. It’s not a difficult hike and the trails are easy to follow and well marked. I highly recommend taking a boat trip back to the entrance at Teluk Bahang jetty.
It makes the overall experience better, I promise.

10 km is so long, especially going uphill. Wish you luck and hope you can do that.

Yes that could be the longest hike. 10km. Over 3 peaks of Penang Hill. I’ve never done it but hopefully soon.

Cool, I didn’t know there were trails that go all the way to Penang Hill. That must be an exhausting hike.

There are trails that are longer that veers off from that one and there are also plenty of trails in the forest reserve which some trails take you across to Penang Hill.

I saw there were other trails in the park so if I ever visit Penang again, I would like to try those. Yes, the turtle centre is rather small. It’s better to see turtles in the wild such as on the beach itself.
