Overview of your George town tour:

In Compliance With ToursByLocals' Animal Protection Policy - Rescue - Rehabilitate - Educate & Awareness - Research * Neither a "zoo" nor an amusement park Orangutans are three distinct species of great apes—Bornean, Sumatran, and Tapanuli—each found exclusively in Asia. These remarkable creatures are native to Indonesia and Malaysia, and can only be found in the lush rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. Over the last 60 years, the Bornean OU population has dropped by 50%. Their natural habitats are rapidly vanishing, driven by deforestation, forest fires, road expansion, and the conversion of large swathes of tropical forest into palm oil plantations to meet global demand. This journey takes you across the impressive NEW Penang Bridge (24km) to the BMOUIF, and returns via the iconic OLD Penang Bridge (13.5km). Recommended for passengers of: - Oceania Cruises, Silversea, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Celebrity etc. > 7-hour (FULL-DAY) tour guide service + Licensed tour van for up to 12 visitors.
