12 May Penang National Park
The Penang National Park is one of the world’s smallest forest reserves and is also home to the only Meromictic Lake in Malaysia. It is estimated that over 150 bird species alone have made their home in the National Park. Entrance is free and there are plenty of interesting jungle trails of varying challenges and pristine sandy beaches. Take a day trip in a hired boat to explore the mangrove swamps, and BBQ arrangements can be made should you decide to cook your own food. There is a turtle sanctuary at Pantai Kerachut where Green Giant Turtles come to lay their eggs between April and August and the Olive Ridley Turtles come here during September and February. Turtle Sanctuary keeps the young turtles until they are old enough to be released in the wild.
