Arowana Marina Village Fish SPA

The fish spa here is relatively cheaper than other places. It costs only RM15 per adult for 20 minutes, and RM10 per child. The owner was friendly and welcoming. He has a sweet daughter as his little helper. I notice the business was not good, if you happen to be here, please consider supporting locals. Other than fish spa, they also sell a variety of dragon fish, and some souvenirs.

Buffet Breakfast by the Lakeside

We booked a stay in Bukit Merah Laketown Resort and Waterpark. It came with a free buffet breakfast. The dining area was spacious and windy, and had a nice lake view. There were two sections, indoor and outdoor. Indoor provides a salad bar, toast, porridge and drinks. Outdoor serves Nasi Lemak, Mee Goreng, Fried Fish, Half Boiled Eggs, and so on. Even though the buffet spread was simple with limited choices, the taste was decent. Ample seating to accommodate the crowd. Service was good, the staff were quick to replenish the food and clean the tables. Overall value for money.

Bukit Merah Laketown Waterpark

Kids would have fun here even though it is just a small waterpark. The facilities are well maintained. There are slides, Boomerang, wave pool, rain shower, river safari and more. The staff were helpful and welcoming. Quite a number of lifeguards around. Outside food is not allowed. Even though there was a limited dining option in the park, there was a food street outside the waterpark, I recommend Nasi Goreng USA and Cekodok Pisang, so delicious. Please note that once you come out, you are not allowed to re-enter the waterpark, unless you are staying in the resort, and the reason for coming out is to check out the hotel. Overall a satisfying trip.

It’s a park that’s perfect for a day’s retreat together with your loved ones. Situated at Taiping (1hour from Ipoh Perak), Bukit Merah Laketown Waterpark lets you unwind and have tons of splashing fun with its water rides. It is just an old school water park which is abit rundown. However, the ticket price is cheaper than sunway lagoon ticket, so can't complaint about the place. Ample of parking spaces are available. The food sold in the waterpark is just normal... nothing fancy to shout about. Kids may like this place very much. Hope the hygienic condition can be improved next time especially during covid.

Wow so amazing Island

Orang utan Island is located at bukit merah and is one of the best orang utan rehabilitation and conservation centres in the world. A verry educational tour you will be accompanying by a staff that will explain the conservation efforts as you walk along 200m cages area.We got to see many orang utan. The tour begin with a 15 min boat ride to the island.Best to visit at earliest opening time 9am for 1st trip.#perak #mytripvlog #tripblazers

Bukit Merah Orangutan island

Bukit Merah orangutan island is a sanctuary for rescued orangutans, it is only accessible by boat, I think it was opened in 2000, it looks after critically endangered borneo orangutan. It has beautiful jungle paths to walk and the orangutan are in massive enclosures, I think there was 12 orangutans there when I was there, you get a guide to take you round and they explain all the work that is happening. It was an amazing experience #Orangutan

Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island 🦧✨

Definitely worth a visit. Good educational place for a family outing. We enjoyed it thoroughly although the place is quite small and the tour was short. We got to see many orang utans. We went in the morning when it was not too hot and no crowd. 👣 Its a great place for the general public to understand and appreciate the primates and conservation efforts more than ever without having to travel to Borneo or Sumatra. 🦧 Very highly recommend as a must see place to visit the island. 👍🏻✨ #best_trip_by_trip #awesomepic #mytripvlog #summervacation #mustvisit #learningtour #besttrip
