Rasa Sayang - Penang

Almost all the hotels in Penang can arrange for day trips to a number of our nearby islands where snorkelling can be done in crystal clear waters. The snorkelling equipment is provided especially on the tours organized by Langkawi Coral which takes you to a beautiful coral island called Pulau Payar. The sea off Batu Ferringhi and Tanjung Bungah is too close to the merchant sea lanes and thus, not really suitable for swimming even though the locals do that all the time. Penang is a very busy port and they pay the price of progress. The presence of jellyfish in their waters (especially off Batu Ferringhi & Tanjong Bungah) is "seasonal" but the problem is, that no one can predict, when they will arrive and leave. Also these "Portuguese men-of-war" (as jellyfish is often referred to) have something in common with "Batu Ferringhi" which in Malaysian means "Portuguese Rock".
