5 Days & 4 Nights
5 Day Borneo Trek
Tour overview
Our Most Popular Adventure
An extended journey deeper into the rainforest with more time at feeding stations and additional time for wildlife encounters along the Sekonyer river. The 5-day trek gives you the perfect balance of orangutan encounters, jungle exploration, and river life.
With an extra day compared to our 4-day trek, you'll have time for a guided night walk to spot nocturnal wildlife (weather dependent), a visit to a local village to learn about indigenous culture, and more relaxed time at each feeding station. This is our most comprehensive short tour.

Your journey
Tour Example
Wildlife is unpredictable, so we don't follow a strict day-by-day itinerary. Below is a sample of what your tour might look like — your guide will adapt each day based on wildlife activity, weather, and your interests.
Arrival & Tanjung Harapan
Arrive at Pangkalan Bun airport where your guide meets you for transfer to Kumai port. Board your private klotok and begin your journey up the Sekonyer river. Visit the Tanjung Harapan feeding station for your first wild orangutan encounter. Settle in for your first evening on the river with a freshly prepared dinner as the jungle comes alive at dusk.
Pondok Tanggui & Jungle Trek
Rise early for the dawn chorus and enjoy breakfast on deck. Cruise to Pondok Tanggui feeding station for the morning session. After the feeding, embark on an extended jungle trek through primary rainforest with your guide, tracking wildlife — you may spot proboscis monkeys, macaques, and other species in the canopy. Return to the klotok for a lazy afternoon on the river.
Camp Leakey
The highlight of your trip. Cruise deep into the park to visit Camp Leakey, the world-famous orangutan research centre. Watch the feeding session where wild and rehabilitated orangutans gather at the feeding platforms. Explore the surrounding trails and learn about decades of conservation work. With extra time at this special location, you may encounter orangutans on the trails and boardwalks around camp.
Night Walk & Village Visit
Today offers unique experiences you won't find on shorter tours. Visit a local village along the river to learn about the indigenous community and their relationship with the forest. In the evening, your guide leads a night walk along the riverbank and into the forest edge, where you may spot nocturnal wildlife including insects, frogs, and other creatures.
Return & Departure
Enjoy a final sunrise and breakfast on the river. As your klotok cruises back towards Kumai, keep watch for wildlife along the banks — early mornings are prime time for proboscis monkey sightings. Transfer back to Pangkalan Bun airport for your onward journey, taking with you memories that will last a lifetime.

Unforgettable Orangutan Trek with Amazing Comfort
Our trip with Orangutan Trekking Tours to Tanjung Puting National Park was an absolute highlight of our 3-week journey through Indonesia. The klotok boat was clean, comfortable, and had AC — a huge bonus in the hot, humid rainforest...
If you are a serious wildlife photographer, this tour is for you.
Living on a klotok for 5 days as it meandered down the Sekonyer River, we had numerous encounters with orangutans and other primates like gibbons and proboscis monkeys. The boat was equipped with all the amenities of a hotel...
Epic houseboat experience in the Borneo jungle
Orangutan Trekking Tours 4D/3N was the highlight of our trip to Indonesia. Sailing on the Klotok on the river was such a beautiful way to experience the jungle and wildlife. The crew spotted wildlife as we sailed along the river...
Definitely recommend!
We absolutely loved our 4D/3N trip — our crew and guide were fantastic and our boat was so comfortable (and it felt so luxurious that we had it all to ourselves, with just our crew!). The freshly cooked meals were so tasty and varied...
Great Customer Service
Had a great customer experience getting quotes from them for a trip. Orangutan Trekking Tours was very responsive to emails and replied quicker than any other tour operator. They were highly organised, we will book with them when we return to Borneo!
Great wildlife and tour but time your visit!
Great tour out searching for wildlife in Tanjung Puting National Park. The crew were great and we were lucky enough to see and photograph a range of wildlife including Orangutan, Proboscis Monkey, Kingfishers...
