Penang’s coastline is a playground for water sports enthusiasts. Away from the historical charm and heritage port of George Town, embark on an adventure out at sea, with the best water sports and activities near the city, and around the coastline.
Jet Ski at Tanjung Bungah
Seaferers Watersports offers rental services for jet skis and various boating rentals, including kayaking and sailing off the northeastern coast at Tanjung Bungah. For those staying at a George Town heritage hotel in Penang, Tanjung beachfront is a 20-minute scenic drive along the coast, passing the historic streets around The George Penang by The Crest Collection and a gilded Thai-style temple.
Parasailing
Available at both Tanjung Bungah and further west at Batu Feringgi Beach, soar over the Straits of Malacca on a 15-minute parasail adventure, with some packages offering lockers and additional facilities, as well as multilingual guides.
Banana Boat
A more laid-back, and slightly comical group activity, rent a banana boat with your friends or family, accompanied by an English and Malay speaking guide for two 15-minute rounds with Sea Horse Watersports.
Fishing Boat Trips
Alternatively, discover the aquatic life around the island with a fishing excursion from Batu Ferringi Beach out to Monkey Beach, situated on the northern tip of Penang National Park.
