Facilities


The orangutans at the Orangutan Haven live on large, naturally vegetated islands surrounded by water moats. Each has an indoor area attached so the animals can get out of the rain and find somewhere dry and warm to sleep.
Guided tours of the orangutan islands leave regularly according to a daily schedule. To buy a ticket and reserve a place on a tour click here.
