Teluk Bahang

Tropical Spice Garden

This beautifully landscaped oasis of tropical flora, more than 500 species in all, unfurls across 500 fragrant acres.

Armed with an audioguide, you can wander independently among lily ponds and terraced gardens, learning about local spices and medicinal plants.

Penang National Park

The old saying about good things in small packages suits dainty Penang National Park.

At 2300 hectares it's Malaysia's smallest national park, but you can fill a day with activities as diverse as jungle walks, fishing and sunbathing on quiet, golden-sand beaches.
