We enjoyed the nature walk at The Habitat. We hope to see the langur but we only saw some squirrels. Hopefully our next visit, we'll able to see those cute little critters. We also hope The Flight of the Calugo and Meranti Walk will be renovated because we would like to try that but it was unavailable. Overall, we had a great time there.

To walk through amazing plants / trees, breathe fresh air and learn about the history of the Hill as you go. The treetop walk was incredible albeit it was cloudy the day we were there. However if it had been bright blue sky and clear, it would probably have been too hot! We are pensioners and due to a recent injury, we have to limit our walking but this was well worth a few achy muscles the next day. The ticket experience was okay.

We enjoyed the nature walk at The Habitat. We hope to see the langur but we only saw some squirrels. Hopefully our next visit, we'll able to see those cute little critters. We also hope The Flight of the Calugo and Meranti Walk will be renovated because we would like to try that but it was unavailable. Overall, we had a great time there.

If you live in Batu Feringgi and want to experience something nearby, then take a look at Entopia. We never thought we would experience so much in the back part of Penang. We made a spontaneous decision and conveniently booked our tickets with Headout. As always, the tickets were available to download or print out after a short time (5 minutes). Once we arrived at Entopia, there were no complications with the tickets, as expected. A quick look at the price list on site showed me that we were once again even cheaper by booking via Headout than by buying tickets directly on site.

Ticketing was simple and good value for us as visitors. Had a serious electrical rain storm while we were there which added to the experience. It was great to look out over Georgetown after being there for several days and we enjoyed a meal at the restaurant which was very good.

Ticketing fast and easy. Experience was nice,quite adventurous and good. Our son almost 12 yrs enjoyed it a lot. Information before hand could be better. It's very advisable to have shoes (and not sleepers!!) which can be used in the water as well as a wet suit shirt (requested when u do adventures where a harness is needed . But it's good that u can buy it there for a reasonable price,but unfortunately stock of shoes was limited in sizes.. however we managed it well and had a great day.

It was entertaining to spend time with family. The location was a bit hidden and was difficult to get parking but the experience was quite good. We had an enjoyable time there
