Raptor Watch 2015 @ Tanjung Tuan or Cape Rachado

The annual Raptor Watch event is around the corner. This is an event not to be missed! We have already detected the presence of raptors since late February. Hopefully on that day we will witness hundreds of them flying by like D-Day bombardiers in the sky.

The following are the promos to this event. I hope they don't mind me helping out to spread the news a bit. In case you are a bit confused with the stated Malacca location its actually true. A part of Malacca is bordering Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan. More specifically the border is located at the junction of Pantai Cermin and Blue Lagoon aka Tanjung Biru.




Since you are already here, why not hike up to the historic lighthouse and down to the beautiful beaches of Pulau Intan. The rock formation sculpted by waves and green algae covered mangrove trees are great for photography. Live corals and fishes can be seen here through the clear waters. There is one other beach that has remnants of Dutch wells and if you are observant enough you might locate some very old bricks lying on the beaches.

You might want to visit a small natural history museum located across Ilham Resort that is air-conditioned. Hope I've given enough hints about the weather here.





Raptor Watch this year is no longer held on the grounds of Ilham Resort and it is a one day event only. Come extend your stay here with us in Bella Casa Holiday Bungalows. Its only 4 km away. Give us a call @ +6012-7505313.
