This is a wonderful half day out. The boat trip is idyllic and the tour of the island really informative and uplifting. The orangutans have the run of the whole island and it is us visitors who remain in a caged tunnel, allowing those animals who are brave enough to come up close to inspect us! And there are several of those - while the aim of the project is to rehabilitate orangutans and enable them to be sent off to live in the wild, some have had experiences that mean this is never going to be possible, and these will live their lives out happily on the island. Every orangutan has a name and a back story, and some stories are very emotional.
As well as learning so much about orangutans, we were also told how difficult it had been trying to keep things going, firstly during Covid and later after a fire demolished the admin block. But volunteers have helped with the rebuild and the place is now immaculate. It is superbly run. Little financial help is seemingly available locally and so donations from the public are desperately needed. Be warned - although you can buy small items in the shop using credit cards, you can only donate with cash, so come well armed with notes and help this amazing project!

We went to this island with a degree of excitement but sadly what it delivered was not what we expected. I went by taxi from KL and on arrival our driver took us to the ticket booth. We crossed to the island on a tourist boat that was reliable safe and well piloted. When we eventually got onto the island it was however found to be run down to the degree whereby I thought it was perhaps an old attraction that was coming to the end of its existence. There were not many orangutans to look at or pavements to walk around to see the animals. Sightings were limited although we could hear banging in the hidden areas so they were perhaps locked inside. Further the guide was not very informative and seemed conscious that there was not much for us to see. Even the taxi driver said the attraction had declined massively since he was there about 18 months ago. A disappointment and I would not recommend wasting your valuable holiday time visiting it.

Wanted to go there since long. Take your children, because their children may not see an Orang Utan. We must look to preserve this species, we are their relatives.

We really enjoyed this trip . We saw many orangutans and the guide was very informative about all the individuals on the island. These primates are very intelligent and guickly learn anything new. A must see if you are in the area.

It should be a lesson to all of us to see what the disappearance of jungle means to these beautiful creatures. we hired a driver to take us there and lucky we did as it is not as easy to find unless you are a local who can speak the language . once we got to Laketown Resort which was practically deserted as it was out of school and public holidays. the resort is very unkempt and in dire need of spit and polish. from there you take the ferry to the Orang utan Island, where we were met by a guide who told us about the history and need for the place like that if we want to preserve the Orangutang species. oh my god they are so much like humans its scary. we were told a story about each one of them , Adam who cannot be released as he was too humanised from infancy from him they have learned that they are animals and need to be with their own to learn how to survive. Chachi four years old who was brought to the island from Sabbah after his mother was killed when the jungle was cleared for more Palm oil plantations, and was adopted by one of the mothers who already has a two year old , but like some step moms she doesn't show him love and attention like she does to her own. as we were in the enclosure and they were in the jungle environment it was mesmerising to watch them and learn from the professionals how important it is for their survival. the looks, the mannerism and the attention to each other is so much like human species. I could have stayed there longer just to watch their behaviour but, maybe next time. the organisations survives from donations and it is a great way to teach children and adults alike of their importance. great work

It's about 10 minutes boat ride to reach the island. Boat fee is a bit expensive. Orang Utan on the island is much active at morning, as compared to afternoon

Drove here from Georgetown. We were lucky as only tourists on the boat and island. Guide was charming. No doubt th ed orangutans would rather have been roaming on their original habitat, but that's disappeared due our palm oil habitat which isn't down to the sanctuary staff. It would not however be worth the 400-500 rm that lots of companies charge. Hire a car or take a cab and arrange yourself. We paid around 190rm for family of 5 entrance fee Inc the boat. If driving from Georgetown you need some cash for the toll roads, around 10 rm 5 or 6 times depending upon the route. Roads ar good quality and Google maps gets you there. After you get down the step hill turn into the Resort complex With large orangutan sign by the water park. Free parking. Takes about 1 hr 15 mins in the car. You can hire a car for 2 days for < 400 rm for 5.

I initially wasn't sure if I wanted to go here based on some of the negative reviews here on TA but actually glad I did.
It costs 36 Ringgit each if you are non Malaysian.
A short 5 minute boat trip from the laketown resort area takes you to the island surrounded by the beautiful lake.
As mentioned there are around 14 Orangutans of various different ages and apart from one which has been there since an infant who cannot be released, all others come here, get taken care of and then are placed in the wild.
The place is relatively small and you walk in an enclosed walkway, the orangutans are free to roam. This is true up to a point since the Orangutans are indeed free to roam within their large open air enclosure areas but certainly not like a zoo where the roaming area is minimal.
When we went, we were the only people on the island visiting and so had our guide to ourselves and saw various animals feeding- so felt like a personal tour.
The animals are great characters and I hope they do get released back into the wild where the belong and I hope I have contributed a little bit for preserving this endangered species.
There is a shop as well if interested in souvenirs.

Can we do this without an organized excursion? If I don't want to rent a car, how do I get there from Penang? Is there a guided tour if you don't do it privately?
كُتب بتاريخ 26 يونيو 2019
We had our own car but am sure you could get as taxi from Ipoh.
Coming from Penang might be easier with a tour group. There are lots of options.Otherwise you could catch a bus to Ipoh and suss it out from there.

Are we likely to see the orang utan even if it's raining?
كُتب بتاريخ 21 سبتمبر 2017
The Orangutan are wild and roam the island freely therefore you may not see one but the guide calls them and whilst we were there they reacted to the calls and came to the fence. I believe you have a very good chance of seeing one

Hi, i am thinking of staying at Centara Grand Karon for 5 days in dec. there will be 2 adult and 2 small toddlers (both below 5yrs). can anybody help:
- do they allow my two childs to stay with us for free? we all should fit in the same bed (so, dont think we require additional bed)
- is there any sofa in the bedroom (standard spa room)
- can kids also rise down the water slide? (is there any age limit to use it)?
- also is the pool where water slide located is really deep? (we cant swim)
- i am concern as a bit far from outside restaurants. is there any decent restaurants outside the hotel nearby (ie walking distance?)
thank you
