Borneo Private Cruise + Orangutan Watching

Description

Day 1: Pangkalan Bun - Kumai -Tanjung Harapan

On the first day of our adventure, we'll pick you up in Pangkalan Bun at the agreed time and hit the road to Kumai. Our superior category boat will be waiting there to take us on our cruise in Borneo.

We'll travel up the Sekonyer River towards the Tanjung Harapan National Park, which is one of the most spectacular places in Borneo. While we're here, we're likely to see our first orangutans.

Day 2: Tanjung Harapan

Our second day will be spent exploring the Tanjung Harapan National Park as we go in search of orangutans.

Let's go! We'll visit two different reserves where we'll be able to watch the orangutans as they eat and interact with each other. In addition, we'll meet some of the other animals with which the orangutans share their habitat, such as gibbons, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and many other endemic species.

In the evening, we'll dock near one of the proboscis monkey colonies or a nipa palm area where thousands of fireflies will light up the jungle.

Day 3: Tanjung Harapan - Pangkalan Bun

After having a delicious breakfast on the boat, we'll return to Pangkalan Bun and take you back to the airport or your hotel so you can continue your Indonesian adventure.

4-day cruise

If you'd like to spend an extra day exploring the fascinating province of Kalimantan, we recommend opting for our 4-day private cruise. In this case, we'll spend an extra day meeting the friendly orangutans that inhabit the Tanjung Harapan National Park.

Accommodation

During the cruise, you'll travel and sleep on a 62-foot (19-meter) long private, superior-category cruise ship with a capacity for five passengers (two in an extra bed). It has a fixed cabin on the lower deck and a mobile cabin that's set up on the upper deck at night. The main room also has air-conditioning and a private bathroom for guests.

Important! Availability

Due to the high demand for this tour during the months of July, August, and September, you must contact us before booking the activity to make sure that there is availability.

Private cruise for backpackers

This is a very popular activity, so if there's no availability, you can try booking this other private cruise in Borneo with orangutan-watching and an English-speaking guide. This activity is perfect for you if you're looking for more of a backpacker experience and you're on a tighter budget. In this case, the cruise will take place on a standard category boat.
