Easy-Moderate
Borneo Orangutan Boat Tour – wildlife & river safari is our best-selling travel destination. However, it is not simply about bringing visitors to see the Orangutan in Tanjung Puting but to raise awareness. Orangutan faces threat as the number of Orangutans keeps decreasing in the past years.
The interesting part of the Orangutan tour itself is the boat that will be used. Klotok is a wooden riverboat with a roof that forms the upper deck. From the upper deck, you can view the rainforest as it glides by. On the peaceful afternoon of your tour, we can slowly explore the quiet river by klotok while observing the monkeys along the riverside. It will be a fun experience to have overnight in klotok too.
As soon as you go along the riverbeds, you will instantly have the feeling of being in an exotic land. Our tour guide will then inform you about the different native animals that you will encounter, such as crocodiles, owls, proboscis monkeys, and the Borneo pygmy elephants. The ultimate goal of the tour is to catch sight of orangutans
