After bidding farewell to the homestay, guests travel by boat to a traditional fishing village near Kuala Sepetang before continuing on to Penang.
A full day walking tour explores the city’s mix of cultural heritage, with diverse architecture, art and culinary delights. There are plenty of opportunities to see how the past is linked to the city’s present, with visits to craft workshops, observation of traditional ancestor worship and walks through heritage neighbourhoods and a 150-year-old market. The day wraps up with a ride by bebak, traditional trishaw, through Georgetown’s night market.
The second day in Penang is focused on art. The morning is spent at Art and Garden, a mix of botanical and man-made sculptures, followed by a stop at Balik Pulau to admire it’s famous murals. In the afternoon, visit Hin Depot’s arts and crafts community and a unique glasswork studio.
