The Orangutan - Mangrove Trip is a full day private trip to discover Orangutan in their habitat. Bornean Orangutan is the largest of the three species of orangutans. Like the other great apes, orangutans are highly intelligent, displaying tool use and distinct cultural patterns in the wild. The Bornean orangutan has a distinctive body shape with very long arms that may reach up to 1.5 meters in length. It has grey skin, coarse, shaggy, reddish coat and prehensile, grasping hands and feet. Its coat does not cover its face unlike most mammals.

Orangutan Foundation rescues orphaned orangutans and entered them into their soft-release program, allowing them to develop the skills necessary to survive in the wild. When old enough, orangutans are released into the protected Lamandau Wildlife Reserve. Orangutan Foundation works to protect orangutans by focusing on habitat protection. The Bornean orangutan lives in tropical rain forests.
