Amazing nature
Really amazing place to spend a few hours and explore the wildlife here. Really take a slow walk around everywhere and you will uncover animals and plants everywhere! I was doing photography here and saw so many amazing plants and animals. Some people just do the walk and leave, but really go slow and look around and take the sights and sounds in. You'll be amazed what you can see.

Just right for a walk.
9 o'clock. Opens immediately.
It's not hot yet. About an hour.
I was able to take a slow walk.
I could hear birds singing and see trees that were not in Japan. It's a shame we didn't see the creature.

Fabulous other worldly nature reserve
Be prepared to want to stay all day and all evening to do the night walk! this nature reserve and its staff need congratulating on the way The Habitat is run and the immaculate way it is kept. This is far from a tourist trap, it was very quiet when i visited (on a Monday) and it is easy to be immeresed in amongst the variety of plants and animals. The cafe serves good food at reasonable prices(I ate at the further one, near the exit) The evening ticket was worth more than 18 ringetts and the guides were excellent.

The monkey’s make the experience. They are brilliant 🤩

Not a night trip
The place itself is awesome and can’t fault it. But we thought we were buying the night trip with a guide. I queried it with Viator and got no reply.
I would suggest you get a grab taxi and buy your tickets there. No benefit to buying online through Viator and, at least, you know what you’re buying. Fabulous place

Serene forest walk
It was wonderful to walk through the forest for a few hours. The smell of the flowers, the cool forest and the lush green. Don't forget mosquito repellent. Highly recommend going as early as possible. Excellent.

Top of the world
Amazing views. Peaceful walk up in the tree canopy. Good descriptions of the area. Mischievous monkeys.
The steps up to the canopy walk may prove too much for some less able but the rest of the Habitat is accessible and beautiful. Well worth getting a return fast track funicular ticket to the Habitat to allow good time to spend at the top of Penang Hill.
