Habitat Penang Hill was founded by Flagstaff Holdings Sdn Bhd after securing a tender from the Penang State Government in 2015. Development began between 2012 and 2015, focusing on sustainable ecotourism within a 14-hectare rainforest site. The park officially launched in 2016, introducing the Curtis Crest Tree Top Walk—the highest public viewing platform on Penang Island—quickly gaining popularity as a must-visit nature attraction.
In 2018, Habitat expanded with the Langur Way Canopy Walk, the world’s longest double-span stressed ribbon bridge, and the Flight of the Colugo zipline adventure. These additions further cemented its status as a top rainforest experience. Committed to conservation and education, Habitat continues to offer immersive eco-experiences, highlighting the importance of preserving the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve.
