This extraordinary cruise takes us through the lush jungle of Tanjung Puting in Kalimantan, where adventure and discovery await. On board of our private traditional boat, the klotok, we navigate the Sekonyer River and observe the wild fauna, including long-nosed monkeys, long-tailed macaques, and tropical birds. We visit rehabilitation centers for orangutans, including the famous Leakey Camp, to see these incredible animals in their natural habitat. We explore the dense and colorful jungle and visit local villages to learn more about their way of life. Each evening, we spend a peaceful night on board our boat, admiring the starry sky and listening to the soothing sounds of the surrounding nature.

By booking with us, you participate in the protection of the environment and biodiversity of Tanjung Puting.
