Our Difference

Build Your Tour

Wildlife is unpredictable, therefore unlike other tours within the region we don’t have a strict day by day itinerary. Instead, we offer you the opportunity of experiences and build your itinerary during the tour to make the most of the season, and most importantly the movements of the orangutans.

Below are the experiences you can enjoy on your tour. Let us know what interests you most and we’ll tailor your itinerary accordingly!

Trekking

Trekking through Tanjung Puting National Park jungle trails

Tanjung Puting National Park Jungle Trek

Trek through the thick of the jungle following the winding trails led by our knowledgeable tour guides. Learn about the native fauna and flora, traditional medicines and history of the land all while keeping an eye out for wild orangutans. Immerse yourself in 360° jungle sounds as you weave your way through with endless photo opportunities. This is your chance to get off the beaten track and absorb the beauty of this stunning corner of the world.

Night jungle trek through Borneo rainforest with head torches

Night Trek

Now this is an experience not to miss. Be guided by a local ranger and our tour guides through the jungle with only a head torch to lead the way. As the nocturnal creatures such as tarsier and various snakes and spiders come out, succumb to the senses and experience the density of the jungle.

If you’re extremely lucky, you may have the opportunity to spot the endangered Clouded Leopard which has recently been spotted in the area by our tour guide!

Rehabilitation Camps

Baby orangutan at Tanjung Harapan rehabilitation camp

Camp 1 – Tanjung Harapan

This camp meaning “cape of good hope” was originally designed as a training centre for ex-captive and orphaned baby orangutans. Also near the camp is a reforestation project which includes a botanical nursery used for growing seedlings. Follow the path loop and watch the orangutans make their way over the jungle canopy to the platform and then back into the dense jungle with a full belly.

Orangutans at Pondok Tanggui feeding station

Camp 2 – Pondok Tanggui

This feeding station was once a release centre for pre-adolescent ex-captive and orphaned orangutans after they were rehabilitated.

Today the station is designed to provide supplemental food for the wild and semi-wild orangutans, which is important in order to maintain their nutrition especially when food is hard to come by during drought seasons.

You’ll be there to witness feeding time at 9.00am which is easily accessible via a short walk into the jungle.

Boardwalk leading into Camp Leakey feeding station in Tanjung Puting

Camp 3 – Camp Leakey

A research centre for orangutans and one of the places where older orangutans are reintroduced into the rainforest, Camp Leakey is named after the legendary paleo-anthropologist, Louis Leakey.

This camp is located at the end of the black mirrored water of the Sekonyer River and is one of the most magical places on earth. Follow the boardwalk into the jungle where the local rehabilitated orangutans may make their way to the feeding platforms at 2pm daily where fresh fruit and sugar cane is left by the rangers.

Culture

Sekonyer riverside village in Central Kalimantan

Riverside Village Experience

A visit to a village along the Sekonyer River offers a rare and meaningful glimpse into everyday life in the heart of Borneo. As your klotok boat drifts slowly along the river, dense rainforest gradually gives way to small wooden homes built on stilts, children waving from the riverbanks, and locals travelling by canoe. Life here moves at a gentle pace, shaped by the rhythm of the river and the surrounding jungle.

Longboat cruise exploring backwaters of the Sekonyer River

Longboat Cruise

Longboats are commonly used by locals to travel along the river, but not many tourists are seen onboard. Our tours offer you the chance to hop in and speed up the river and explore backwaters that aren’t accessible by the larger tour boats.

Traditional Borneo cooking class aboard the klotok

Cooking Class

If the orangutans weren’t everyone’s tour highlight, then the food sure would be! Our onboard cook will walk you through traditional recipes from the region before you indulge in the meal. This is a great chance to cook and try new foods that are common within Asia that you may not have tried before such as cassava and okra.

Walking tour through the streets of Kumai riverside village

Kumai Village Tour

Before you cruise down the river into the thick of the jungle, take a short walk around the streets of the riverside village with our local tour guide. Try some local foods, look behind the scenes and immerse yourself in the Indonesian culture to see how the locals live. Highly recommended if this is your first time in Indonesia.

Conservation

Tree planting conservation activity with Friends of the National Park Foundation

Tree Planting with FNPF

Why not do your part for the forest, and plant some trees! Friends of the National Park Foundation works to protect Indonesia’s endangered wildlife while restoring forests and helping local communities become sustainable.

Take a small trek from the river bank into a reforestation site where you can purchase native trees and plant them to increase the density and diversity on the planting site. All profits go straight to the foundation to continue their restoration and sustainability efforts within Indonesia.
