Great to be able to see how salted eggs are done in this factory. Production runs in the morning until 1pm. Packing is in the afternoon. They have a nice souvenir shop to sell their products. They even made their own kaya@coconut jam and mooncakes.

I initially wasn't sure if I wanted to go here based on some of the negative reviews here on TA but actually glad I did. It costs 36 Ringgit each if you are non Malaysian. A short 5 minute boat trip from the laketown resort area takes you to the island surrounded by the beautiful lake. As mentioned there are around 14 Orangutans of various different ages and apart from one which has been there since an infant who cannot be released, all others come here, get taken care of and then are placed in the wild. The place is relatively small and you walk in an enclosed walkway, the orangutans are free to roam. This is true up to a point since the Orangutans are indeed free to roam within their large open air enclosure areas but certainly not like a zoo where the roaming area is minimal. When we went, we were the only people on the island visiting and so had our guide to ourselves and saw various animals feeding- so felt like a personal tour. The animals are great characters and I hope they do get released back into the wild where the belong and I hope I have contributed a little bit for preserving this endangered species. There is a shop as well if interested in souvenirs.

This is a conservation initiative that looks to be just treading water financially at the moment but will hopefully survive as it very much deserves to. It's a lovely 15 minute boat ride across a large attractive lake and you are given a highly informative and fascinating guided tour of part of the sanctuary where you are the caged one in the 200m long visitor walkway, but as a result are able to get very close to these wonderful animals in a way that is not threatening or disturbing to them. This is not a zoo - it's a conservation facility doing valuable work for the welfare of this threatened species, so don't go expecting to be entertained. You might not see all of the orangutans living there. Nevertheless, we saw half a dozen of them and it was a hugely enjoyable as well as educational experience for all of us, especially our young son who loved the chance to pass fruit to a couple of the orangutans. Currently (July 2020) they are open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only. Note that google maps has the location slightly wrong (as does Waze if you're driving there). You need to head to Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, which is where the boat leaves from. You can park for free there and there's a nice, excellent value café in the resort where you can get something to eat or drink on the way there or back.

I've involved myself in responsible ecotourism since secondary school. I'd learnt Mangrove, birds in my major. Mangrove is one of the very important landscape to support balance of ecosystem worldwide. It is a very unique forest which they developed themselves and well equipped themselves in the most horrible environment on Earth. Without an expert, what you see of Mangrove will be just an ordinary tree. So join me for the deep walk, you will be amazed and in loved with Mangrove just like me.
