I spent 3.5 months traveling around Indonesia and visiting Tanjung Puting NP was definitely one of the highlights! The whole klotok experience was amazing and very relaxing. Even though most of the orangs we saw were rehabbed animals, we were also lucky enough to see wild orangs in the park and it was interesting to see how different their behaviors... More

We visited Tanjung Puting National Park in April this year, and it was definitely one of the best trips we have done anywhere. When you hop on the boat and start going up the river it is really like a bit of a fairy tale journey. You slowly cruise along with the house boat, and as the river gets narrower... More

Our tour operator - Adventures Indonesia - was super. The whole staff of the klotok was amazing. The park is nice, but it is extremely sad to see how abused it is. The gold mine up the stream sends sand all the way down the river changing its color (and ecology too). One morning we also saw gasoline rainbows all... More

Visiting Tanjung Puting National Park was the most magical trip ever! Honored by visits from the orang utans, proboscis monkeys, and visiting the fireflies at night were simply amazing. Our guide Pardi (aka Fardi) is probably one of the best ever, providing us with his knowledge of the jungle, and organizing / taking care of the group with such details... More

Last year, we spent 3 amazing nights and 4 days on a boat surrounded by the beauty of Tanjung Puting National Park. This spectacular trip was made even better because of our guide Ancis. Ancis used to be a ranger in the national park and he worked with and helped rehabilitate orangutans in the park. Accordingly, he is very knowledgeable... More

I loved every minute of my time at Tanjung Puting National Park. Seeing orangutans and proboscis monkeys in their own habitat is a special experience and may not be an opportunity we will all get to experience for much longer. The guides are absolutely incredible. So knowledgeable and so passionate about what they do. The surroundings of the jungle, the... More

Very nice and interesting place to go. You really feel out of the world, welcome to the Orang Utan's country. Just keep listening and watching, have some rest on the boat on the brown river observing the jungle, meet this beautiful animals that Orang Utans are and...enjoy ! Thanks a lot to Fardi for a great trip, Hope we will... More

It so natural place and rich of knowledge of nature.. We got to tanjung puting by Klotok, where we can sleep under the enclosed deck of the boat, on comfortable mattresses under mosquito nets, then wake up to the sounds of the Borneo jungle. Western and also Asian style breakfast served 3 times daily on Klotok. Whilst enjoying the river... More

Highlights included having the opportunity to observe orangutans and proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat, walking through the rain forests, travelling the Sekonyer River and the spectacular night sky. The trip was made even more memorable because of our guide FARDI who organised everything for us perfectly. His knowledge of the region is perhaps unparalled. This coupled with his respect... More

A piece of heaven on earth!!! This is a must do/see experience. If the Palm Oil plantations keep destroying the jungle the way they are then this "Garden of Eden" won't be this way for long. Our guide PARDI, knows the heartbeat of the jungle. He was incredible in organizing and educating us on both the Orangutan and the jungle.... More
