RATING ★★★★★
TOUR: Relaxing Penang Tour (Full-Day by SUV)
Lawrence was so good at sensing our shifting wants and needs - and quickly adjusted our itinerary to make the best experience possible. His ability to navigate traffic with his own car made the entire tour more enjoyable and convenient. He was always willing and eager to share his insights, favorite places and favorite foods (he was always bringing us unique things to sample). We felt we saw Penang, not some touristy facade of Penang.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE:
Thank you for your words so kind,
A sweeter gift is hard to find.
I’m glad you had a journey bright,
Hope to see you in new daylight!

Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation, Perak
Nestled within the lush landscapes of Perak, Malaysia, the Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation stands as a beacon of one of the world’s most endangered species—the orangutan. Established in 2000, this unique sanctuary spans 35 acres and serves as both a rehabilitation centre and a research facility, dedicated to the protection and preservation of these remarkable primates.
Orang Utan Island is not just a refuge for orphaned, injured, or displaced orangutans. It is also a hub for education and awareness. The foundation plays a critical role in rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans, to reintroduce them into their natural habitats. Through its breeding program, the foundation has successfully increased the population of these critically endangered animals, contributing to global efforts to prevent their extinction.
Visitors to the island are offered a rare opportunity to observe orangutans up close in a semi-wild environment. Guided tours provide insights into the behaviour, diet, and social structures of these intelligent creatures, fostering a deeper understanding of their plight. The foundation also focuses on the importance of habitat conservation, highlighting the devastating effects of deforestation and illegal wildlife trade on orangutan populations.
Beyond its conservation efforts, the foundation actively engages in research, collaborating with international organizations to advance knowledge about orangutan biology and ecology. By combining conservation, education, and research, the Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation is a vital force in the fight to secure a future for orangutans and the biodiversity of our planet.
