Jan n Ade do Orang Utan Island, KL - We had a great day. We had a driver to ourselves in a car which probably made it better as 3 hours on a bus would have been a hard ask. The driver was kind, informative and careful, which also made the journey relaxing. We got to the Orang Utan island park and took a boat ride accross the lake, we were in. The San teary was really good and informative staff showed us around for about an hour. This was enough, unfortunately as they are wild, there is no contact, but just being close was enough and made the journey there and back worth while.

Tour to visit Orang Utans - We had an amazing tour. We loved visiting with the orangutans and learning more about their lives and their situations. Rajan was an excellent tour guide. He was knowledgeable and accommodating!! The cave tours were beautiful. 450 steps to the top. Highly recommend this tour!!

Excellent private tour - Excellent day out. Private driver, really friendly and knowledgeable. Long day. But totally worth the drive up. And a chance to get out of KL, and see the beauty of the area

Long drive from KL - Long drive (3.5 hours) for 1 hour at Orang Utan sanctuary. That said, it was wonderful to see them roaming free and the spectators in the cage. We also had a stop at the Buddhist temple in Ipoh which is worth a look. Said lunch was provided but we had to buy on our own.

A long drive for little return. - My low rating is because of a 3 hour drive from KL to the island and a 6 hour return trip with a reckless driver doing between 140 and 150 kmph at times. All this for 2 hours on the island which did not live up to advertising or expectations.

Not worth the time - It's a six hour return journey to spend less than one hour on the island with the orangutan. We saw four which were beautiful. It's not really worth the time or money for such a short time. The driver was a really nice chap and the vehicle was modern and clean

Not the best - We travel a lot. We tour a lot. This was the worst ever. The car was smelly, the guide, apparently provided as a bonus, kept falling asleep and the driver didn’t know where to go. Our guide didn’t talk much because, according to the operator, he thought it might irritate us! He took us an hour out of our way to a restaurant that was closed for a lunch that wasn’t included. We missed the boat to the island and had to wait over an hour for the next one. All this is documented. The operator offered us a 50% refund, then retracted and said that was meant for someone else. You have to wonder how many tours they screw up.
