Experience the best of Borneo in one unforgettable journey! Start with in the far west of Central Kalimantan a relaxed wildlife encounter in Tanjung Puting National Park, home to orangutans, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles and many other species. Then, venture deep into the Heart of Borneo, meeting the indigenous Dayak and Punan tribes on a challenging yet rewarding expedition to the end of the civilized world. Finally, unwind in the Derawan National Park, a tropical paradise offering world-class snorkeling, diving, and pristine beaches. From dense jungles to crystal-clear waters, this month-long adventure is tailored to your desires—far from the main stream tourist in the East of East Kalimantan.
Orangutans, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles, and many other wild animals. A relaxing and little luxury way to overcome jet lag after a long flight from the global north. The slow motion house boats are yet simple but comfortable and the unique view of the rivers, the swamp forests of Tanjung Puting National Park, the rich wildlife, short walks into the forest and watching the proboscis monkeys going to bed in the night fall. It’s hard to see so much wildlife in one place in just a few days. A perfect start to your Borneo adventure!
Then, transfer to Palangka Raya, the capital of Central Kalimantan Province by bus and check in at Bukit Raya Guesthouse. Rest for a few days and prepare for the big highlight of the month: a journey into the innermost Heart of Borneo to the indigenous Dayak and Punan tribes. A wide selection of different tours is available, and our guests can choose their desired program based on their desire, interest, agility, stamina, and mental resilience.
After about two weeks, we continue the journey east to the Derawan Islands by airplane, car and speed boat. A piece of paradise away from the hustle and bustle of tourists! A few islands: Derawan, Sangalaki, Kakaban, and Maratua. A dream comes true, and every need can be satisfied there. Whether you’re a diver, snorkeler, or simply a beach lover, there’s something for everyone. There’s something for both the budget traveler and the discerning traveler. The sea turtles, the whale sharks (depending on the season), the manta rays, the non-toxic jellyfish, the most beautiful reefs, and simply endless lagoons and beaches. You won’t find more of a vacation anywhere else, and all so close together! After a week, your tour ends in Balikpapan. From there, you can either continue your journey to Bali or other parts of Wonderful Indonesia or return back home to your country…
A leisurely start in Tanjung Puting National Park – a challenging tour into the Heart of Borneo, outside the box – and a chilling and breathtaking finish on the beach and in the warm sea. A month full of highlights, all compactly packaged, with a decent amount of rest days in between, customized to your wishes, and all outside the mainstream tourism.
