it's a beautiful experience. try going at non peak hours to enjoy the sounds of the forest and check the weather forecast, the canopy walk is closed in heavy rains and thunderstorms.

The trip is very smooth and enjoyable! Thanks to Mr Ong, our guide, who is punctual and experienced. It's very important that this trip includes the express lane tickets for the Penang Hill train ride. You'll save up a lot of time for a long queue! The trip also flexible in terms of time spent in each attraction. In the end I've extra time to spend at the Penang Habitat which is really worth visiting!
