[2025 Northeast Penang Island ] Travel Guide for The Habitat Penang Hill (Updated Feb)

#penangtrip I saw many tourists turning back after seeing the ticket prices which is like RM 40. I think it’s well worth the price if you’re a nature lover. Not many animals as they say to observe but the walk in the wilderness is absolutely relaxing and the crest is just amazing. You can see langkawi from the top at certain times. Only thing is half the places are closed. So it’s on your pathway but you just can’t go there.

#malaysia This place is a true GEM! We stayed at Hard Rock Hotel Penang with our little son and loved it! The services and room were impeccable, and we enjoyed our family time under the sun. The swimming pool here is huge and has many play features for the young ones. Endless play options here for the kids, there's also a kids' club that allows parents to drop off their children should they need a breather at the spa. The beach is right next to the hotel so do pop by the beach if you intent to do any water sports. The room is spacious and extremely comfortable. Exploring penang is easy! We took taxi to Penang Hill and a short hike in the nature and enjoyed the aerated views of Penang. Food is everywhere! We love the affordable Asia cuisine. 🚩Jalan Bukit Bendera, Bukit Bendera, 11500 Bukit Bendera, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia

Curtis Crest is a circular walk that can let you see both sides of Penang Hill. Walking along the 230 meters canopy walk which is known as Langur, passing above deep valley filled with ferns and tall trees, you also can spot some of the langurs who give this bridge tge name. There is a big swing, that will let you swing in the rainforest, hearing sounds of nature, like birds and insects chirp.

The area of The Habitat is not too big, not much visitor as well during long weekend. Nice greenery away from the hustle and bustle of the busy Penang Hill. Recommended to visit at least once. Cheaper ticket can be found online or pay attention to their social media for occasional promotion. 👀 The entire area is quite pleasant to walk and won't be too tiring except for the Curtis crest, which you need to climb a few flights of stairs to get to the top. Canopy walk would be very nice for kids and the elderly. 🌸 Excellent place for kids to explore the nature. They have professional service by enthusiasm staff. They understand the jungle and can answer hundreds of questions from the eager learning kids. 🫶🏻 Recommended. 👍🏻✨ #penang #awesomepic #MyTripVlog #bestplace #mytripvlog #niceview #mustry #naturetrip #naturelovers
