- Amm_JunnetBangkok, Thailand85 contributionsCalm, Quiet, Clear Water, White Sand...Just love itI like this island and plan to go back again. Easy to go from KL, take a bus around 4hrs from TBS and arrive at Lumut Jetty and get on the ferry with 7rm ticket for round trip per person. Then the pink van took us to the resort. People are very nice and friendly. I love the beach and the hornbill feeding at 6pm at Sunset View Charlet everyday.Visited July 2020Written 24 August 2020
- Fealicia DalesPerai, Malaysia11 contributionsSólo travelerI'm a solo travelers. Due to convid-19 cases. I take my solo trip and going back to my father hometown is in a small tiny island in Malaysia. That's we call as pangkor island. Although in the Wikipedia it's written that's it's a fisherman village. Yea it's is. But the excitement cultures and different a lot you can learn and knowing about it. I was born in Georgetown Penang. Don't forget at this tiny island there were a tiny secret a lot of tourist doesn't know about. Theirs had a free Kung Fu/taici class every morning 6:30 am at the Fu ling Kong.Visited October 2020Travelled soloWritten 30 October 2020
- Departure5518884 contributionsPangkor- a bit rougher but better than LangkawiPangkor was a last minute two day trip during a three week Malaysia holiday. It was worth the trip. Relaxed few days on Coral Beach at Hotel Anjungan. Lovely pool at Anjungan. Coral beach very nice with a fish restaurant and Daddy's cafe to eat at - two hammocks came in handy. Less built up than Langkawi- good for 2-3 days of chilling.Visited January 2020Written 24 January 2020

Pangkor might be Malaysia's most underrated island. This was my second visit to Malaysia, and while Pangkor might not be as shiny and perfect as the Perhentian Islands or Langkawi, if you want to truly relax and unwind, Pangkor is the perfect place.
It's small and quaint, and since there isn't much to do, it's a wonderful place to fully slow down. It's mostly local tourists on Pangkor, but it's also a duty-free island! People are kind and friendly, and the cost is incredibly budget friendly!
Wild animals roam freely on the island, including cats and monkeys-- and best of all, hornbills. We saw hornbills every day, close by, in trees. There is even a resort you can go at 6:30 and feed them from your hand. There is snorkeling at Coral Beach, beautiful mosques and temples to explore, ATV riding, water sports.
We went to Penang, Langkawi and KL on our trip, but honestly, my favorite part of our vacation was Pangkor. It's the ultimate chill place where you can let go of your stress and worries. It's also one of the least touristy spots, which made it feel so authentic and enjoyable.

Around 3hrs++ from Kuala Lumpur to Lumut.
Take the Pangkor island ferry for an inexpensive, hassle-free, comfortable and punctual way of reaching the beach resort island of Pangkor from the ferry terminal at Lumut, Perak. Lumut Jetty Terminal is a famous gateway among the tourist to get to Pangkor Island.
- Ruins of a 17th-century Dutch colonial fort
-Pangkor Island’s Iconic Floating Mosque - Masjid Al-Badr Seribu Selawat
Most convenient travel around vehiche are - renting a motorbike.
I stay in homestay where you can find many variety in this island.

Pangkor is nice, but why is it not located a trashcan on every beach? We were picking up trash by some of the beaches, but had to walk all the way back to the place we stayed by another beach to throw it.
