    from the getgo our guide Wassu greated us with the biggest smile. he fed us with ton of interesting knowledge of ipoh and cameron highlands as well as ton of delicious snacks and indian meal for lunch. the milkcorns were so sweet and juicy both streamed and raw form, absolute must try. also the lady at the produce store was really friendly and let us try lot of different fruits and veggies. the indian meal was so good we left our external battery at the table when we left, maybe subconsciously wanted to go back for a 2nd meal (thanks for going back and retrieving it for us Wassu). also the lempeng pisang was very delicious! coconuty grilled pancake! also the views at both tea plantations and the waterwall also were gobsmackingly beautiful. the weather was switching back and forth between cloudy foggy sunny and rainy. but each weather made it even more memorable and we were so lucky we avoided rain at all the outdoor activities (thankyu for the prayers and weather power Wassu haha). The fogs made the tea valleys even more mystical. and of course Michael Jackson the orang asli, very entertaining fella. Overall the tour was an amazing experience for us and would absolutely recomend the tour with Wassu. (thank you)

    Fun! It was very nice to see the castle ruin with a unique story and the amazingly huge cavern, plus hillside cave temples with amazing sacred images, and a forward-thinking agarwood plantation. It was a very memorable day, and the driver and guide was very careful and polite.

    Amazing to see the work of the sanctuary and see the orang-utans being looked after so well. The santuary relies on guests so you are contributing with your visit. Rajan our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, history and then later we stopped at the caves.

    Great day

    Thank you to our tour guide John for a great day out. John picked us up from our hotel in Ipoh at 8am and we headed straight for Orang Utan Island. It was about an hour drive and the vehicle was very comfortable. Visiting the island in the morning was a good choice as the orangutans were all visible and responsive in the cooler temperature. We had a great time at the island and the orangutans were just neat and so well looked after. After the island John took us to a range of places around Taiping and Ipoh before returning to the hotel around 4pm. Thank you John, we really enjoyed our day.

    Interesting experience. The rescue centre is based on an island and the management of the transition from mainland to island was smooth and troubled free.

    The Island had several Orangutang that could viewed and they looked well cared for and healthy.

    Overall a worthwhile experience

    You do not see the orangutans, just book that tour, as I should have. I booked this tour on a Saturday, for a Monday. I finally contacted the tour operator Sunday late afternoon to ask for confirmation as all I'd had was the tripadvisor automatic confirmation. Never mentioned the orangutan foundation being "closed." Because it wasn't? Telling me the day before left time for me to do something about it right? Like message them? For them to tell me they've BEEN open? And REMAINED OPEN? Yeah...like I did after the operator left the poor driver to he the one to tell me. See, I had a fat tip set aside, but no one seemed interested in getting me what I was promised so... owner got abusive and blackmailing with me over WhatsApp when I asked for a partial refund. I'd like to say: as a solo ride, it was $190. I asked for an $80 refund because I missed The. Biggest. Attraction. Of Ipoh. Everyone asked after, oh did you see the monkeys? No. Owner offered me $60 refund with threats to take the money back if I wrote a negative review. You can't do that sir, and if you play, I'll contact my credit card company and you'll get nothing because they don't accept partial refund requests. You're lucky $60 is all you lost, but I'm leaving a review because I'm not stupid and I know my rights. Use the difference to tip your driver, he at least did his best to recover the disaster you created. My driver was good, dealt with traffic well, polite, made time for stops to Ipoh (the boss pitched a fit on the way back because of our convo and that negated that, as he ordered my driver to drop me off at my hotel as expeditiously as possible). I got the impression the poor driver will get beef from the boss, I hope not. To everyone else: believe the low reviews of the company. I read them and decided to give grace as they seemed to be more complaints about the airport than the company. I gave them a chance and yeah...I'll never use or recommend them. To the operator: just take the orangutans out of the description if you can't be bothered to fulfill the request. I have a screenshot of my conversation with the orangutan sanctuary, your driver insists you spoke with them that morning or some such. Also, don't make threats, you're doing your country a disservice in the travel industry because this is the experience I'm taking home with me. The operator will tell everyone he offered me "alternatives" but more random temples that I'm not told anything about or history is not a substitution for an animal sanctuary. So yeah...I didn't realize that that's what those other temples were, especially as one that WAS listed actually was closed when we got there. I was so confused and frustrated by the end of the day....anyway, yeah don't take this tour....I hope my driver finds better employment, he deserves better than what I witnessed. It was a mess.
    The biggest highlight was Kellie's Castle, it was cool, got some neat pictures and I liked to hear the story behind it. The cave would've been more awesome if the power hadn't gone out while I was alone between platforms 4 and 5 after I paid to go to 5. I will say this as well: either just go to Ipoh and stay for a few days, or make arrangements to stay longer here, the fun and adventurous tour is 4 hrs and the park has a penchant for opening late. My self tour was supposed to be 1 hr (I was told 45 mins by driver) but I knew I could climb fast because I have a lot of hiking and cave experience, so I chose that one. Very beautiful, worth it to see.

    The driver and tour guide Kassim is punctual and polite. We really enjoyed the trip to Ipoh, especially the Kelly Castle and the Cave Temple (Kek Lok Tong). Kassim is very knowledgeable on all aspects of the sightseeing spots. He introduces the scenery and explains the local people's livelihood along the way. The trip included the entrance fee to Kellie's Castle, lunch with local chicken rice and a cup of Ipoh white coffee, in which the food and drink were very authentic. Kassim also drove very safe and efficient for the whole journey. The vehicle was large and comfortable.
    We really enjoyed the trip to Ipoh, especially the Kelly Castle and the Cave Temple. We really enjoyed the tour. Was just amazing I recommend! You’ll visit the castle, the beautiful temple in the cave where you can see the local streets also! Try local food and taste the white coffee. The city of Ipoh is very pretty and historic!!!
