The Infamous Betul Nut Orange Penang Ferry

Penang Iconic Betel Nut Orange Ferry.

In Penang, once should not miss go to the Penang island. You have 2 ways to go to the island either by using the bridge or using the ferry. Usually if i go to Penang island, i will be using the Penang bridge. Since i have never been using the famous iconic ferry, i decide to choose the ferry to go to the island. It's amazing that Penang ferry which started the maiden journey back in 1920s is still making its daily round along the busy water of Penang. Currently manage by the Penang Port, the ferry was the only mode of transportation connecting Penang Island and the Mainland back then.

Kids always enjoys the sea breeze and riding the ferry.
