Orang Utan Island Bukit Merah

Orang Utan Island at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort is a lakeside conservation island dedicated to protecting and educating visitors about Bornean orangutans. Boardwalks and viewing platforms let families watch the primates in a managed setting while rangers explain habitat loss, diet and the slow recovery of this endangered great ape. It is one of mainland Peninsular Malaysia’s most accessible orangutan experiences—ideal for a half-day stop within the resort complex rather than a deep jungle trek. Book timed entries when offered, follow feeding and photography rules, and treat the visit as a learning encounter—not a petting zoo.
