Board the traditional klotok boat, a classic and historic wooden vessel designed for river cruising. Your crew will welcome you aboard and will travel with you throughout the entire experience. As we cruise through the Bornean waterways, keep an eye out for the magnificent wildlife we could spot along the riverbanks. Think proboscis monkeys, macaques, birds, and possibly even crocodiles. The klotok is also like a houseboat. We will explore the river onboard by day and rest with the gentle rock of the river by night.

Visit the amazing Tanjung Harapan Orangutan Rehabilitation Center for orphaned orangutans. It offers a unique opportunity to see these magnificent creatures up close in a semi-wild environment. Embark on a short trek around the area to see the grounds through the rainforest. We'll then have the chance to witness an absolute highlight of the day—the orangutan feeding session. Watch as these intelligent primates descend from the treetops to receive bananas and other fruits from the park rangers. This is a unique opportunity to observe orangutans up close in their natural habitat.

Head out on a night trek excursion to explore the forest by moonlight. This is an excellent opportunity to discover nocturnal animals like frogs, insects, and hopefully even slow lorises. Grab your flashlight or headlamp, put on some comfortable walking shoes, spray on some insect repellent and let's explore!

Visit Tanjung Harapan Village, a small settlement nestled within the lush confines of Tanjung Puting National Park. Visiting the village provides a glimpse into the daily life of the local people and their relationship with the rainforest. Stroll through the village, observing the traditional stilt houses built along the riverbanks.

The journey to Camp Leakey is a significant part of the experience, offering stunning views of the Sekonyer River and its surrounding rainforest.The boat will slowly navigate the river, providing ample opportunities to spot wildlife along the riverbanks and in the trees. Each meal will be enjoyed on the klotok and cooked by our fabulous hosts onboard. Delicious meals and the natural wonder of the rainforest as our show! Tonight we arrive to Pondok Tanggui area, where our boat will dock for the evening.

Cruise through the beautiful Tanjung Puting National Park, from Pondok Tanggui, Camp Leakey, along the Sekonyer River, to Kumai Port.

Get to know them, enjoy their amazing traditional meals and learn about life along the river. This is our last night on the klotok boat, so make the most of it.
