🏔️ Adventure itinerary

Day 1 - Journey to Jakarta 🇮🇩 Indonesia

✈️ Fly SIN 10.50am > CGK 11.45am 

Suggested Flight: Scoot

(S$290.63 as of Thu 25 Dec 2025)

Afternoon at Leisure, Meet for Dinner or OTOT


Day 2 (L/D) 🦧 Orangutan River Safari 🌴 Night Walk ✨

✈️ Fly CGK 5.30am > PKN 6.45am 

(S$202.1 as of Thu 25 Dec 2025)

Arrive in Kalimantan 🌴 the Amazon of Asia. Borneo is the 3rd largest Island in the World, with Kalimantan spanning covering over 70% of Borneo. Upon arriving, we'll be transferred by car to board our traditional Indonesian Houseboat, also known as a "Kelotok", where we'll spend our next 3 nights.

Enter the 🌴 Kalimantan Jungle by River as our Wildlife guide introduces us to the Rainforest and the Animals that live within.  😌 Homely Indonesian meals will be prepared by our very own Chef on Board. After lunch, we hike (30min) to our first Orangutan Camp & Feeding Station. 🥾

Watch as both Wild & Semi Wild Orangutans appear & descend from the canopy to grab some extra food to supplement their diet. 🦧 If lucky, perhaps you will also get to see some of the younger Orangutans & babies, & watch their so human like behaviour between the mothers & their children.

🌅 After the sun sets, embark on a night walk (~1hr) in the Jungle for a chance to spot some unique nocturnal life, ie. insects, spiders, sleeping birds, glowing/smoking mushrooms, tracks left by wild animals, & don't forget to look up in the sky! For some amazing stars due to the dark, remote location. 🌌

Experience your 1st out of 3 nights sleeping on the deck. ✨ Mattresses with mosquito nets, pillows and bed sheets will be set up for us! 😌 Waking up in the morning to the serenity of the Jungle is truly a wonder by itself.

* Subject to final change and adjustments.

Day 3 (B/L/D) 🌴 Contribute to Reforestation, Plant a Tree 🌱

Learn more about Kalimantan's struggle with Palm Oil production and deforestation. Kalimantan is a major Palm Oil production hub, accounting for nearly 40% of Palm Oil production. 🌴

 

Even protected areas still runs the risk of illegal logging. 🥲 With 65% of the national park still in need of recovery, join the reforestation effort & plant a tree with your name! In the afternoon, we'll visit a 2nd Orangutan Camp.

 

Day 4 (B/L/D) 🛶 Sampan Ride through the River

For a change, we'll do a (morning) 3rd visit to an 🦧 Orangutan Camp. In the afternoon, get closer to the river with a sampan ride (~1 - 2hrs) through some narrower / tighter creeks of the river that cannot be accessed with our Kelotok houseboat.

 

A refreshing change of angle and perspective, at river / eye level, after spending most of your time on the upper deck of a large houseboat.

our reviews

“This trip truly delivered much more than I expected! Orangutans may NOT be the most epic or glamorous wildlife to photograph but having observed them, these Great Apes are truly incredible!

Once the trip started, everything fell into place. The boat, our guide Arif and especially the food & service provided was superb.

Will definitely recommend based on my experience & to top it off, I had some fantastic captures of the Great Apes.

Thanks to Adventure Together especially Nicole for all the arrangements.”

“Highly recommended! Had the most wonderful experience - semi wild, semi luxurious adventure!

 

Highly recommended trip for anyone in need of a break from the concrete jungle, and yet still want some of the comfort!!

 

Nicole is a superb organiser and planned my trip so smoothly that my friend and I were so well taken care of.

 

The three nights stay on the kelotok was most memorable and pampering... with four men and a woman meeting our needs and ensuring our comfort!”
