Have you ever dreamed of waking up to the sounds of a tropical jungle, drifting down a mirror-like river, and coming eye-to-eye with a wild orangutan?
Welcome to Tanjung Puting National Park on Borneo Island. Often called the "Amazon of Indonesia," this is one of the few places left on Earth where nature still calls the shots.
The Journey start cruising the "Sekonyer River"
Forget cars and buses. The only way to access this paradise is by Klotok, a traditional wooden houseboat.
As you navigate the tea-colored waters of the Sekonyer River, the world slows down. It’s a literal "jungle cruise" where the riverbanks come alive. Keep your eyes peeled on the treetops this is where you get your first glimpse of the legends:
- The Orangutan: The true icon of Borneo! It is a magical moment when you spot these "People of the Forest" swinging through the canopy or resting near the water's edge right from your boat.
- Proboscis Monkeys: Famous for their big noses and long tails (found only in Borneo!).
- Macaques: The playful acrobats of the trees.
- Hornbills & Kingfishers: Vibrant flashes of color flying overhead.
Your Jungle Home : Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge
While the Klotok is your chariot by day, your sanctuary by night is the Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge.
As the only solid-land accommodation within the park, this "ecostay" offers a unique blend of comfort and wilderness. Imagine walking along wooden boardwalks over the swamp forest to reach your room, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the deep jungle. It’s the ultimate way to stay grounded in nature while supporting sustainable tourism.
The Great Apes: A Three-Stop Adventure
Tanjung Puting is the world's most iconic habitat for orangutans. During your journey, we’ll visit three legendary feeding stations where you can witness these gentle giants living freely:
- Tanjung Harapan: A beautiful introduction to the lush forest.
- Pondok Tanggui: A great spot to see younger orangutans showing off their climbing skills.
- Camp Leakey: The world-famous research center where the history of orangutan conservation began.
