Penang Tour & Travel Guide - Things to do in Penang

Held in mid June at the Taluk Bahang Dam, this is an interesting event for tourists to watch. Teams from around the globe compete in this two day event. Colourful and well ornamented boats (shaped like dragons, of course) are rowed down the scenic race route. Locals throng to the festival, making it a carnival-like atmosphere of sorts.

Jungle Trekking & Camping

If you’re looking for wild of a different sort, head to Teluk Bahang. Nestled on the North-western edge of Penang Island, this reserve forest is a must-visit for nature lovers. You can go trekking or hiking, or even pitch a tent and camp the night if you’re craving more adventure.
