★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · from $70Best value

Travel from Kuching to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver such as Eng or Wesley. Walk the center’s trails, learn how rescued orangutans return to the forest, and watch feeding time, while remembering sightings are never guaranteed.

“We had a great visit to see the Semenggoh orangutans! Wesley was an excellent guide. Not only was he knowledgeable and friendly, but he also gave great advise about where to spend our time, which gave us the chance to observe some unusually active and interesting behaviors.”

3.Wildlife & Wonders: Orang Utan Island + Perak Cave Temple Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 12 reviews · from $123

Travel from Kuala Lumpur to Bukit Merah for a ferry ride and close views of endangered orangutans, then visit a limestone cave temple near Ipoh. A private English-speaking driver, hotel pickup, and admission are included, but expect a long day on the road.

“Not satisfactory. Driver spoke limited English, and offered no insights whatsoever. Fortunately, the woman at the Orangutan facility was excellent. Car was a smallish Toyota that we sat in the cramped backseat of for a long time. The first time that I can remember where a bottle of water was not provided.”
