Pangkor Island is a resort island in the Manjung District, of
Perak, Malaysia.
The centre of the island is forested and home to 65 reptile
species, 17 amphibian species.
Pangkor Island is a place very dear to mine and Mr. R’s
heart. For six years we visited this beautiful island twice a year- each visit
for two months. We made some amazing friends,
and on each visit felt more and more part of this small little community. Having
a four year respite, to explore more of Malaysia and other countries we finally
returned yesterday.
HOW TO GET THERE:
A three-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur, by car or bus to
Lumut. Public ferries depart from Lumut to Pangkor from the old Lumut jetty, and
Lumut waterfront.
The ferry services start from 7.00am till 8.30pm, every 20 minutes.
Cost of ferry: Ringgit 14/£2.50/€2.97/₽184.48/$3.23 RETURN TICKET.
There are two stops at the
east side of Pangkor Island. The first stop is at Sungai Pinang, SPK jetty. Mainly
for local residents, fishing-people, and guests for some guesthouses. The
second stop is at Pangkor Town Jetty, the main drop for tourists.
Taxi service available to all
hotels.
