Penang Ferry Terminal at Weld Quay
When you are in Penang, one of the attractions that is uniquely Penang is the Penang Ferry services. Before the Penang Bridge was built, the ferry service was the only link which connect the mainland of Butterworth and Penang Island.
It’s a mode of transport that was heavily used by the mainlanders as well as islanders to commute from the island to the mainland and vice-versa. Nowadays, with the Penang Bridge around, the utilization of the ferry service is not so heavy as it was before.
With the government’s initiative, you’ll notice that most of the ferries has been beautifully and brightly painted as a project to beautify the ferries. You’ll never miss them when you pass by the ferry terminal near the Weld Quay area.
If you are driving to Penang, besides the Penang Bridge, this is an alternative route for you to go over to the island. An alternative route where you can stop your vehicle on the ferry and get down to enjoy the blowing sea breeze and a relaxing break prior to reaching the island to continue your trip around Penang Island.
