The Ride Up
After arriving at the Penang Hill Lower Station on the Rapid Penang 204 bus, we walked straight to the ticket counter. The admission fee was RM12 each (≈ USD/EUR3) for Malaysians, while non Malaysians pay RM30 (≈ USD/EUR7). With tickets in hand, we boarded the funicular and enjoyed the always thrilling ride up the hill.
Taking in the View
At the top, we wandered around for a bit and climbed the stairs to Astaka Bukit Bendera. The view was lovely — cool air, sweeping scenery, and that unmistakable Penang Hill calm.
A Buggy Adventure
Next, we decided to take a buggy ride, which cost RM30 per buggy (≈ USD/EUR7). It turned out to be an excellent choice. Our driver guide was funny, knowledgeable, and kept us entertained throughout. We stopped at a picturesque lookout point for a few wefies and enjoyed the breezy ride around the hilltop.
It’s an experience we highly recommend to anyone visiting Penang Hill.
Heading Down for Lunch
After the buggy tour, we returned to the funicular and made our way back down the hill. From there, we booked a Grab to Pekan Ayer Itam for some laksa — so be sure to catch our next video for that delicious adventure.
A Small Reminder
While masks are now optional outdoors, they are still mandatory indoors. Stay safe and considerate.
