Creator's Key Takeaways

We had the wonderful Indra. You can see her in front there. We had Indra on day one and day two.

We wisely chose to buy the premium ticket or the the past the express lane ticket, I guess you would call it. It saved us a lot of time, especially on the way down.

The view from the top is amazing. Sadly, it wasn't the clearest of days, so we didn't get the greatest of views.

But a wonderful day, our first day in Penang.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buy the premium express lane ticket for the funicular to save time.
If you didn't book a tour through the ship, there are plenty of cheaper private tour options at the port.
Be prepared for a walk when exiting the port.
