Penang: Orang Utan Island & City Flexible Full Day Tour
This is a private tour, meaning only you or your group join this tour, no one else. A full day 8 hours tour, starting with a drive over Penang bridge to Orangutan Sanctuary Island on mainland Peninsular Malaysia to see some 14 Orangutan up close and personal. Get to know them by their names - BJ, Adam, Manu, April and others.
We, the human, are being enclosed, not the orangutan. Alpha may weigh up to 300 kilogram, so be careful, it has the strength up to 7 adults! They shared some 97% of human's DNA; no wonder they are fun to watch.
