Tanjung Puting Park

Tanjung Puting Orangutan Jungle Cruise Kalimantan

Explore Tanjung Puting Park by klotok boat in the heart of Kalimantan, where you can experience the rich heritage of the rainforest and its iconic wildlife, especially the orangutans. During your river safari cruise, you have the opportunity to trek through the dense jungle for birdwatching or to spot various primates that call this part of Indonesian Borneo island their home. Tanjung Puting Nature Reserve, which is almost as large as the island of Bali, is a vast expanse of lush forest canopy stretching along the Sekonyer River. The river infrastructure system acts as the only backroad to cruise through the National Park, offering a unique way to explore the jungle and its wildlife. Tanjung Puting Park features several distinct ecosystems, including lowland tropical rainforests and dryland forests, making it a paradise for nature lovers. You can easily cruise by klotok boats to experience a gentle, family-friendly ecotour into the habitat of the orangutans on the Indonesian island of Kalimantan.
The Tanjung Puting Park is home to a variety of wildlife primates, which you can spot during your journey as your klotok boat sails along the river banks deep within the heart of the dark Borneo rainforest.
You may have the chance to see proboscis monkeys and troops of light brown monkeys, which leap from tree to tree or even into the river in front of your klotok boat, which serves as your comfortable cruise accommodation. Among the other wildlife you might encounter are macaques, gibbons, clouded leopards, sambar deer, and importantly, the majestic orangutans, all of which are synonymous with Tanjung Puting National Park. The park gained international recognition when Dr. Birute Galdikas, founder of the Orangutan Foundation International, established Camp Leakey as the first orangutan rehabilitation center in the world.
This orangutan wildlife eco-tour can be booked through our agency as an all-inclusive package trip.
The most popular option among travelers is a 3-day / 2-night itinerary, which is considered the preferred minimum time frame for an off-the-beaten-path jungle trek, allowing you to explore the hidden wildlife in the remote corners of Tanjung Puting Park. For accommodation, you have the choice between the only luxury Rimba Lodge hotel, which offers western-style, air-conditioned rooms with hot and cold water showers, or the traditional Kalimantan wooden klotok houseboat.
The klotok houseboat is a simple yet comfortable cruise boat facility that provides an authentic experience of the jungle.
Your accommodation on board includes all the essentials—washing, eating, resting, and observing the jungle creatures that pass by as you cruise. The boat crew consists of three members: a guide, a private cook who can prepare meals according to your preferences, and a captain who stays below deck. Tourists have their own private rest area on the top deck of the boat. During the day, this space features furnitured chairs and tables under a sunroof, but at night, it is transformed into a sleeping area with matrasses and mosquito netting for a comfortable night’s rest. The open-air bivouac-style accommodation on the klotok houseboat, located at the edge of the jungle near the riverbank, is an excellent way to experience the breathtaking light show created by fireflies and to wake up naturally with the sounds of the awakening rainforest. You can enjoy your breakfast and a cup of coffee while listening to the sounds of the jungle, making it an unforgettable experience.
