Into Orangutan Country
Tanjung Puting is one of Indonesia’s best-known destinations for observing orangutans in their natural rainforest environment. Along the river and inside the park, travellers may also encounter proboscis monkeys, macaques, birds and other wildlife. Sightings are naturally dependent on weather, season and animal behaviour.
Cruising the Sekonyer River
The river journey is an essential part of the experience. As the boat moves through the waterways of Tanjung Puting, the surrounding rainforest creates a constantly changing backdrop for wildlife observation and photography.
Private, Focused & Wildlife-Oriented
This day trip is ideal for travellers who want to experience Borneo wildlife without committing to a multi-day jungle expedition. The program focuses on the river, rainforest and orangutan experience while keeping the journey private and efficient.
A Long but Rewarding Day
A Tanjung Puting day trip is a full-day wildlife experience with an early start and several hours on the river. The journey is best suited to travellers who are comfortable with a long active day. Wildlife encounters cannot be guaranteed, as animals remain in their natural environment.
Availability
This Full Day Trip can be booked for minimal 2 persons up to 6 participants.
