Commonly, tourists flock to Penang during holidays. Being known as Pearl of The Orient, Penang is famous for its food, tourist attractions, heritage buildings, and factory zone. With so many things available, travellers become oblivious to many great yet underrated close-to-nature places in Penang.

While Batu Ferringhi die-hard fans prefer to spend their time in that area for the sandy beach walk and gallery explorations, only a few of them notice the garden museums situated alongside the road in Teluk Bahang. 

Stepping into the green lush with vibrant tropical floras and fruits benefits our eyes, mind, and soul. Much less doing it with a guided farm tour for FREE! Today, we’re collaborating with Penang Tropical Fruit Farm to give away free perks to the lucky winners. Keep reading to find out more!

About Tourplus

Tourplus, a personalized travel platform, is an online travel agency (OTA) that provides a digital local travel guide (certified driver guides and customizable itineraries with reviews available to ease tourists’ user experience) to tourists.

Itineraries such as flights, F&B outlets, shopping malls, hospitality and accommodations, tourist attractions, and more are inevitable items on a trip. Hence, Tourplus came in handy by collating merchants into the list of choices for users to browse through before making decisions.

Currently, Tourplus is moving towards becoming a social travel app that doesn’t only serve as a catalog for users to browse through recommended places, but also a place for social networking among travellers, which makes it more interesting to be acquired, and it’s manufactured in Malaysia. We hope you enjoy using Tourplus for your travel discovery in this multiracial country.
