Family Trail

4.4(304 reviews)

About

Family Trail, on Penang, sits at 478, Jalan Pokok Ceri, 11500 Ayer Itam, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. First-time visitors should expect an outdoor route rather than an indoor attraction, with the address on the Ayer Itam side of the island. A 4.4 out of 5 average across 304 reviews reflects steady approval from the many people who have walked it.

Its website at http://penanghill.gov.my/hikingtrails/ carries the trail information. George Town, Batu Ferringhi, Gurney Drive and Penang Hill are among the places that frame a visit to this part of Penang, and the trail's position near Penang Hill puts it within reach of the island's main resort towns.

On Malaysian islands, motorbikes, taxis and rental cars are the usual ways to get around, and most visitors arrive by road before setting off on foot. Malaysian waters hold dolphins, dugongs and sea turtles, and Borneo's coasts have proboscis monkeys.

Malaysian islands lie in the Straits of Malacca, the South China Sea and the Sulu and Celebes Seas. Malay is written in the Latin alphabet, while the Jawi script remains in use for some religious and Malay texts.
