Because of the island’s remarkable topography, there are a lot of activities to do here. Other than jungle trekking, some of the activities in the island include scuba diving, snorkeling, cultural trips, camping along the seaside and bird watching. These activities will let you get near nature and make for a great bonding moment with your friends or family. Pangkor Hill is a common trekking place in the island. Located at the foot of the hill is the Foo Lin Kong temple, another popular site to visit in the island, boasting beautiful water garden and stunning landscape. Besides Pangkor Hill, you can also try Tortoise Hill.
Along the trails to the hill, you can find some exotic flora and fauna. The site is home to dozens of flowers, plants and animals. Rare orchids can be found along the way while colorful birds like giant hornbills perch on the trees at the steep hill slopes. Catch a glimpse of the Macaque monkey swinging on the tree branches. When you reach the hilltop, you’ll see a tall viewing tower to witness the panoramic view of the countryside, the Strait of Malacca, the lush forests and the Tortoise Bay. The Tortoise Bay, also known as Teluk Ketapang in Malay, is a stunning and peaceful beach, sandwiched in between Pasir Bogak and Teluk Nipah. In this beach, you can witness a clear view of Pangkor Laut Island and Mentangor Island.
You should not miss trekking in Tortoise Hill because this is only one of the few untouched natural sites in Pangkor Island. You can snap great photos of the island watch different species of birds and animals and witness the orange sunset on top of the hill. You can also bring some food and enjoy a book while sitting under a shady tree.
So listen here people, whenever you happen to have a vacation in Malaysia, don't ever forget to come visit Pulau Pangkor too!!!
