Excellent just an Excellent experience

What a fantastic place this is, such a worthwhile sanctuary these beautiful creatures look so happy, a good mix of young babies and young adults to be seen here, from the feeding tables and to seeing them in the trees above.
We were lucky enough to see them for two feeding sessions one in the morning and one later in the afternoon , less orangutans in the afternoon but caught a great video of mum with her baby eating a coconut.

There are also three areas opposite of sun bears, not so easy to see, but eventually we did see them.
Superb!

Couldn't ask for the best tour ever. Our local tour guide Mr. Darwis and driver Ah Fat, were just so knowlegeable. He kept us informed on any activities of the Orang Utan. Was told not to have high expectations of seeing Orang Utan that day, but we did. It was unusual they were few of them on that day. We seen couple of sun bears and went on to The Buddhist temple on top of hill and last stop was fishing village. Overall it was a great day. Thank you again to our amazing tour guide for making our trip a great one! Terima Kasih.
