George Town and Firefly Night Tour

Visit to George Town's heritage enclave to see heritage houses, clan houses; and the best of all, people are still living and thriving in these heritage sites. Visit them to understand why this city, together with Malacca, were inscribed into UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 2008.
Cross the harbor using the iconic Penang's ferry to Penang to the city of Butterworth on the mainland and then continue south for 1 hour to reach the firefly colony site. Sit on a boat out on Krian River estuary to see flickering firefly seeking their mates amidst the mangrove's "Berembang" trees Return to Penang via the majestic First Penang Bridge, 13. 5 km long, built by Hyundai Engineering and Construction Company (Korea) Ltd, some 30 years ago. This bridge is an iconic symbol of Penang and a must visit/experience by tourists.
