Patricks extensive adventures in Malaysia


Azli and his family

Azli and his family came for a short visit. They came by car from Kuala Lumpur and although it was quite a long journey, they directly went on to explore Pangkor. You can read their story here. Azli also created his own photo page with dozens of photos of Pulau Pangkor and the family.


Johanna (7 years old) and her rope course adventure

Of all the outdoor adventures, I find the rope course as we offer here in Teluk Batik, one of the best, even for children. Johanna asked me to bring her to the rope course and do it herself. Together with 10 km cycling, 1 hour hiking (some very steep parts), 2 hours swimming plus of course 10 km cycling back home, Johanna had her full day of adventure:

Nazlina's bicycle tour

Naz from Penang came in 2006 twice to Pangkor Island. The first time she took her bicycle but left her children in Penang. This is what she experienced when she cycled at Pangkor. Check her own website: pickles-and-spices.com

Naz liked Pangkor very much so she came a few weeks later back. This time she brought her children with her. She stayed at the Nipah Bay Villa and she and her children loved it.

Special for the Pulau Pangkor website she wrote a full page about traveling to Pangkor with children.
