The one place in Peninsular Malaysia where one can view up close the orang utan without going to Borneo. The foundation did a wonderful job to establish this place. It is well staffed with a vet and the staffs handling the orang utan are well trained and passionate in their jobs. Many orang utans were born here on the island demonstrates the success of the programme. The tickets paid is well worth knowing that it will be used accordingly for the welfare of the orang utan and care of its environment.

Excellent visit! Really knowledgeable staff who are able to share their passion confidently in English. Saw 8-9 different orangutans of various ages/sizes. You can get quite close but the humans are kept in cages as the animals roam free on half of the island
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.
Had a great time here. People were great but smaller then i expected it to be. You can only walk on certain parts which isn't very far. But good overall
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
A fabulous place to visit. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The orangutans were a treat to watch as was their feeding. Seeing them use sticks to pull and push small pieces of fruit into their enclosure was great. The place needs donations for its maintenance. They take donations in cash only so please take some along.
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!!!!
Very well done conservation efforts to rehabilitate Borneo Orangutans. Kept on an island visitors are put into a cage to walk through very cool.
