Day 6Depart from Penang
  1. Penang

    Malaysia

    1 hour

    It’s time to say goodbye to your best Malaysia tour, and your driver guide will escort you to Penang Airport, which will take about 30 minutes. The security check and customs clearance are relatively slow, so you’d better allow 3 hours and arrange your free time according to the flight. Wish you a happy journey! During the past days, you have felt Malaysia’s human culture quintessence, but Malaysia is much more than that. The native flora and fauna of Borneo’s tropical rainforest, such as Malayan tapirs, Borneo pygmy elephants, and Rafflesia, are all worth seeing. Kuching – the cat city – is also unmissable if you are a cat lover. If these attractions intrigue you, please contact our travel consultants to extend your trip with a customized route!
