Kalimantan Adventure: Orangutans, River Cruises and Ancient Rainforests in 2026
Kalimantan is one of the last great wildernesses on Earth — home to endangered orangutans and ancient rainforests.
Tanjung Puting National Park
The best place in the world to see wild orangutans. Cruise the Sekonyer River on a klotok (traditional riverboat) for 2-3 days, sleeping on deck under the stars.
Derawan Islands
Off East Kalimantan, these islands rival Raja Ampat for marine life. Swim with non-stinging jellyfish at Kakaban Lake.
Wehea Forest
For hardcore adventurers, multi-day treks through primary rainforest with local Dayak guides.
