A 35-acre island nestled within the idyllic setting of Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, an eco-friendly 7000-acre freshwater lakeside vacation getaway in Semanggol, Perak – Orang Utan Island is today a global eco-tourism destination.

Since its inception in 2000, Orang Utan Island has progressed from being a sanctuary, where visitors experienced first-hand awareness and education on the orangutan, to a recognized conservation facility and referral centre for the endangered Bornean orangutan. A visit to Orang Utan Island will convince anyone why the orangutan has endeared itself as a symbol of Malaysia.

Get up close and personal with the endangered orangutans cared for on the island. Witness them play in their own habitat and swing from tree to tree.
