Pangkor Island in Perak or locally known as Pulau Pangkor is among the popular islands in Malaysia. The island has a few beaches that attract lots of tourists here.
If you want to to go to the Pangkor Island, one of the methods you can use is by using the express bus to Lumut (the nearest town to Pangkor Island which also act as the gateway to the island) which the fare will cost you around RM 25.
As of this writing, Puduraya is still under renovation and you need to go to the temporary bus station near Bukit Jalil National Stadium to buy the bus ticket to Lumut.
From Lumut, you need to board the ferry and there are 2 companies that operate the ferry service there; Mesra and Pan Silver. The ferry fare is Rm 10 and the ticket is actually two-way ticket which you can reuse to go back to Lumut town from Pangkor Island anytime you want.
