Questions

Before you book

More answers on each trip page, or just ask us on WhatsApp.

Which is better for orangutans: Tanjung Puting National Park or Sebangau National Park?

Tanjung Puting National Park is the easier choice: you travel by klotok boat and see orangutans at feeding stations, often many at once. Sebangau National Park has no feeding platforms, so every orangutan you see is fully wild and found by trekking with a ranger.

When do klotok trips start and end?

Klotok tours depart Kumai around 11:00 (we can pick you up earlier at Pangkalan Bun airport) and end around 09:00 on the last day.

How do I pay?

We take bank transfer. From abroad we recommend Wise or Revolut, which are fast and cheap. We do not accept credit cards for now.

Is travel insurance included?

No. Travel insurance is not included in any trip, so please arrange your own before you travel.
