Visit Tanjung Puting National Park to see the cute and hairy orangutan in the largest wild orangutan population. You will aboard the klotok boat and cruise along the Sekonyer River to get close to orangutans. Observe the way they live and don't forget to prepare your camera to snap a lot of pictures of the slow apes and other cute monkeys before they hide over the tree because they're a bit shy! Enjoy your time on a klotok boat and fill your belly up with the lunch and dinner that will be provided on board.
The Orangutan tours we provide are not just holidays, but a truly special window into human evolution. Orangutans, the only great ape in Asia, share 97 % of their DNA with human beings and fittingly, 'orangutan' means man of the forest. The Orangutan Guided Tours highlights all of our shared similarities with these special great apes.
We start from Pangkalan Bun and then head to Kumai, where we board a "kelotok" a traditional houseboat. We then cruise into the river that runs through an ancient rainforest, the home of numerous indigenous animal species. The Proboscis Monkey, aptly named because of its enormous nose, and the amazing bird, the Hornbill, are just two examples of endemic species. Once we are off the boat, we'll walk into the forest, where flora and fauna sightings only increase accordingly.
We provide truly unique wildlife experiences, and most importantly, the opportunity to see Asia's Great Apes.
Traveling within Tanjung Puting National Park, is a wonderful trip. Just lay down on the deck of the kelotok, enjoy a cup of coffee and observe the natural wildlife. We are honored to be a part of your time in Wonderful Indonesia.
Staying on the Kelotok is an unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime.
