RATING ★★★★★
TOUR: #264807, [1~4 paxs] Orang Utan Island + Penang_Tour, George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
We had a very good trip with Lawrence to the Orang Utan Island to see the sanctuary there and heard all about the efforts that are being made to grow the Orang Utan population. We were only in Georgetown Port for the day and Lawrence ensure that we were back on board in good time for sailing. He is very knowledgeable about the sanctuary and the orang utans and we can thoroughly recommend his tour.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: I wish you were a TERMINATOR and told me “I’LL BE BACK” the moment you walked back to the ship.

Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation, Perak
The Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation stands as a beacon of hope for the critically endangered orangutans of Malaysia. Established in 2000 on an island sanctuary in Bukit Merah, Perak, the foundation's primary purpose is the rehabilitation and conservation of these remarkable primates.
The history of the foundation is rooted in a commitment to protect orangutans from the threats of habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Through dedicated efforts, the sanctuary provides a haven for orphaned, injured, or displaced orangutans, offering them a chance to learn essential survival skills before eventual release into the wild.
Over the years, the foundation has achieved significant milestones in orangutan conservation, including successful rehabilitation and release programs, scientific research, and community outreach initiatives. Through these efforts, the foundation not only safeguards the orangutan population but also raises awareness about the importance of preserving their natural habitat.
For those interested in witnessing the inspiring work of the Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation firsthand, visitors can book a licensed tour guide with a car, a mini tour van, or a bus to this destination. It's an opportunity not only to observe orangutans in their natural habitat but also to support crucial conservation efforts aimed at securing their future.
