Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation

Nice and simple

Very educational and good information from the staffs. Very knowledgeable on the preservation of the orang utans. Due to the covid19 only half of the orang utans was displayed but still okay. The boat ridw there ia also very good as the sanctuary is on another so called island there. Good for both adults and kids.

I got an up close look at the orangutan at this incredible tour of Orangutan Island. I also learned more about local wildlife from their professional guide. They're really friendly and helpful. Ticket price might be pricey but worth every of my experiences. Overall, I enjoyed myself. Thanks

Drove there today. It was easy to drive there from Penang. From Batu Ferringhi we left at 8am and got there at 9:40 just in time for the first ferry. First ferry is at 9:45. You drive into the resort and walk through the resort to the ferry dock. At the ferry dock you buy tickets for the Orang Utan island. Ticket includes ferry there and back and the island ticket. There's a small shop on the island selling tshirts that my kids liked. And some snacks. As we pulled up to dock at the island we could see small orangutans and a couple larger ones playing in the trees. As soon as we got off we could see some large orangutans playing and eating at a platform in the water near the boat dock. The guide quickly started us on our walk along the path into the habitat. She was wonderful and very knowledgeable and answered lots of questions for us. We saw 10 of the 17 orang utans living there. Several close up. We dropped apples down a tube into their cage and they were excited to grab them and have some fruit. We watched one guy drink milk poured into his mouth from a worker and we watched the alpha male tear open a coconut and eat it and slurp the coconut water. The little ones were really cute. We LOVED this place and my 3 teenagers said it was totally worth waking up "early" and driving 1.5 hours to see the orang utans. It is an awesome place. Definitely go!!!!

interesting place and information. a must place visit
