How to get to Pangkor Island
The island has its own airport but the only airliner that flies between Kuala Lumpur and Pangkor Airport is Berjaya Air (they suspended their service a while ago, but it got reinstated again).
There are daily buses that depart from Kuala Lumpur (and also from other places, like Penang or Ipoh).
The bus is by far the cheapest solution to get to Pangkor as it only costs around RM25 (one-way, VIP 4 hour trip).
Buses depart all throughout the day, many of them from Pudu Sentral bus station.
We once used Plusliner which was a good experience. Right opposite of Lumut Jetty is the bus station; so it is only a small walk to get to the Jetty. Also right in front of the jetty are car parks with 24/7 surveillance; where you can park your car for RM10 per day. As driving to Pangkor is very popular and cars cannot be brought onto the island; there's no other choice but leaving your car secured at the car park. We once rented a car in Kuala Lumpur (withHawk Malaysia ) and drove to Pangkor ourselves as it is only a 3,5 hour drive.
It is possible to get a taxi from KLIA, LCCT or Kuala Lumpur City Center to Lumut, but this will be quite an expensive taxi ride. The driver probably doesn't want to use the meter, and also wants an extra fee for the way back (as chances are slim he's able to pick guests up in Lumut). Expect prices above RM400 for a one-way trip.
The island itself is accessible by ferry from the small town of Lumut, a boat ride of approximately 40 minutes.
A return tickets costs RM10 and leaves every 30 minutes. There are three different boat operators at Lumut Jetty.
They all bring you to Pangkor Town (2nd stop). Mesra Ferry is the best of those three, as you get to sit on the outdoor upper deck and watch the scenery. If you have reservations at Pangkor Island Beach Resort; you will use a different ferry. The same goes for Pangkor Laut reservations; they too have their own ferry service to the resort.

3 ways to get to Pangkor from Kuala Lumpur by car
- Drive towards Ipoh and take the Gopeng exit. From there follow signs to Batu Bajah (Kellies Castle) and after that the signs to Lumut. This is the most used route that is used to get to Pangkor. It also takes the longest time from KL.
- Another way to get to Pangkor is by taking the exit at Bidor. From here you follow the signs to Teluk Intan and after that the signs to Lumut. This too is a route that is often used to get to Pangkor as this is probably the quickest route.
- There also is a more scenic route; which also takes the most time to get to Lumut. When you are on the Federal Highway towards Ipoh, take the exit at Tapah. From here you can follow the signs to Kampar where you can also visit the Gua Tempurung Caves. From there follow signs to Ipoh and then take the ext at Malim Nawar; this is where you will go through an area that was known for its tin mines. After that follow the road to Kampung Gajah, from there to Bota Kiri. At Bota Kiri you will see the signs that lead you to Lumut.
邦咯岛虽然你们会认为是乡村,但是他可有注意安全的需要,游客是需要多了解的,
尤其是交通上的注意,不然旅程就不愉快了。
#1
别以为邦咯岛是乡村就骑摩托车不用戴安全帽,这里的警察是天天出来找吃的。
为了省下不必要的”肉干“,请骑摩托车时注意要戴上安全帽。
#2
对于骑摩托车技术不是很高明游客们要特别注意,那就是请不要超越Teluk Dalam Resort,或是吉灵丸的垃圾焚烧场,
因为那段的山路是极度的危险,整段斜坡是保持大约30度的斜度而且还是一段2公里长又没平坦的路程,
加上山脚处会有几个突然的180度急转弯,转弯除外就是山崖,如果煞车不及,那就山崖底下找回你了,**曾经死过人。
#3
对于技术高明者,劝告选择由垃圾焚烧场那带上坡,下坡到Teluk Dalam Resort那带会比较安全。
因为出事的多数是从Teluk Dalam Resort上坡后,下坡时一个不小心就跌出山崖或翻摩托。
#4
从邦咯后岛Teluk Nipah的山路请放慢速度,路途急转很多,见识度被山坡遮挡,加上对方汽车常快速的驾驶,
所以不可当这带是Project D的"秋明山”。当雨中或后山路上积水,更要小心,*曾有人自翻摩托当场丧命。
#5
如果选择脚踏车作为你的交通的话,普通体能的游客应该可以在邦咯后一带骑到吉灵丸,
但是那么长的路途加上许多上坡会让你操劳过度。
如果你坚持要利用脚踏车上山路去到Teluk Nipah 那一带,劝告小心为事,
请上下坡是不可骑着脚踏车,反而要用推的。因为上坡时脚踏车应付不了,
下坡时脚踏车的刹车器功能简直是没用的,一个不小心就翻天覆地的滚下坡,*曾这样出事过,还死过人。
#6
普通平路上,无论你是骑摩托还是脚踏车,请多注意四处的交通工具,
因为不习惯邦咯交通路线和岛民驾驶的惯性下,出了车祸你都不知什么事。
邦咯岛路有很多出入口,是所以会有许多没打指示灯就突然杀出或转弯的车辆,特别注意。
如果进入住宅区更要放慢速度,家中的小孩是不看路就穿越马路的,不少小孩出事过。
尤其是大丸货仓码头那一带马来区,他们经常都不多注意交通就穿越到马路对面,
如果你一撞到那带的马来人,那你要尽快去到警察局报案,不然后果不堪设想。
#7
如果游玩的时间刚好遇上大退潮,Teluk Nipah 和珊瑚岛之间会浮出一条沙滩路,可以行走到对岸的珊瑚岛,
不过涨潮时间会急速的到来,所以很多时候到了珊瑚岛就倒不会头,只有等待救援,
也有不少游客正走到途中的因为突来的涨潮来不及逃离到岸,结果溺死在海中。
据说这座坐落在邦咯岛码头的1 Malaysia logo,
是全马最大的??
是不是最大的我就不知道了,
但是我只知道现在游客到来这里,
一定会跟它拍张合照,哈哈。。。
你也拍了吗??
