Tropical Spice Garden, Penang.

It was quite a late post.

My friends and I went to Tropical Spice Garden beginning of this month. After such a long time, only I blog about it.

Tropical Spice Garden is located at Teluk Bahang, Penang. The place it situated was actually a place that it was once being abandoned. Thereafter, David and Rebecca Wilkinson together with a talented team transformed it into this garden with unique design and soul into a remarkable eco-tourism venture.

This garden was actually taking 1.5 years to complete. the work involved work of harmonising over 500 species of tropical flora. They preserve much of the original indigenous flora and fauna while maintaining the original topography of the site. A lot of trees were left undisturbed, which become good shelters for the visitors. The team has also re-routed the water from a waterfall nearby. We can hear a the voice water at many corners inside the garden.

Okay, let's see how Tropical Spice Garden looks like.





This is the counter where we make payment.


The prices as stated as their website are as follow:
- Family (2 adults and up to 3 children) : RM35 (self-guided), RM55 (guided tour)
- Adult : RM14 (self-guided), RM22 (guided tour)
- Child : RM8 (self-guided), RM8 (guided tour)

I actually not really sure with the price, as we actually went there with the vouchers I bought from group purchase, Everyday.













Besides visiting the garden, there is also a restaurant and a shop for you to buy the products.



We didn't take our lunch over there, so there is no photo for the restaurant.

It's quite a nice trip. However, it rained at the middle of our trip. Or else, I guess we will stay there for longer time.

  3. It's nice for those who love flora and fauna. But some people will say that RM14 entrance fee is quite expensive. I bought the vouchers from EVERYDAY with RM5 per voucher.

    Applefish did blog about it before too, you may check out some different things there perhaps if you want.
