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 and transfer to Kumai port. Board your private klotok and begin your journey up the Sekonyer river into Tanjung Puting National Park. Visit the Tanjung Harapan feeding station for your first encounter with wild orangutans. Enjoy dinner on deck as the sounds of the jungle surround you.
Pondok Tanggui & Extended Jungle Trek
Early morning birdwatching from the boat before cruising to Pondok Tanggui feeding station. After the morning feeding session, your guide leads an extended jungle trek through the rainforest. Learn about the ecosystem and track wildlife through the canopy. Afternoon cruise deeper into the park with wildlife spotting along the river banks.
Camp Leakey
The highlight of your journey. Visit Camp Leakey, the legendary orangutan research centre. Spend an unhurried morning watching the feeding session and exploring the surrounding trails. With no rush to move on, your guide helps you find wild orangutans on the forest trails. Learn about decades of groundbreaking conservation research. With extra time at this special location, you may encounter orangutans on the trails and boardwalks around camp.
Remote Tributaries & Night Walk
Spend more time cruising the Sekonyer river, where the quieter stretches offer excellent wildlife viewing — proboscis monkeys, macaques, hornbills, and kingfishers are commonly spotted. After dinner, your guide leads a night walk along the riverbank, searching for nocturnal wildlife.
Village Visit & Second Night Walk
Visit a riverside village to learn about the indigenous community and their sustainable relationship with the forest. Meet the villagers and learn about their connection to the forest. Return to the river for a final afternoon of wildlife spotting. An optional night walk may reveal insects, frogs, and sleeping birds up close.
Return & Departure
Enjoy a final sunrise and breakfast on the river as your klotok begins the journey back to Kumai. The return trip offers one last opportunity for wildlife spotting along the banks — keep cameras ready for proboscis monkeys who are most active in early morning. Transfer back to Pangkalan Bun airport, carrying memories of the ultimate Borneo experience.

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...

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!
