EXPEDITION OVERVIEW

This 9 Day Tanjung Puting and Yogyakarta Experience tour will take you to Yogyakarta, the cultural heart of Java and the Tanjung Puting National Park, a popular orangutan viewing location in Central Kalimantan.

You will stay in a modern boutique hotel with amazing views over the city of Yogyakarta and you will eat delicious meals in delightful local restaurants. 

Tanjung Puting National Park is a unique place in itself. It is not only home to the orangutan, but also the rare proboscis monkey and the false gavial crocodile. During your time in the park, you will be living aboard our river boat known as a klotok. The klotok is well equipped with essential amenities. At night you will sleep on the deck on comfortable mattresses with mosquito nets. Our crew will cook up delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The klotok comes fully equipped with safety features including life vests and a first aid kit. When you're not walking through the jungle, you can relax on deck watching the wildlife, read a book or laze the day away. 

EXPEDITION GOALS
Our goal is to provide our guests with a unique experience whilst observing wild and semi-wild orangutans in their natural habitat. We will provide you with a safe platform to observe the wildlife that Borneo has to offer; including proboscis monkeys, gibbons and more. We will also provide you with comprehensive information about the destination you are in, so that you are fully informed about your surroundings. Our joint effort with The Orangutan Project continues to support conservation programs in both Borneo and Sumatra. Each guest's fare includes the cost of a one-year orangutan adoption package. 

WHAT TO EXPECT
You are embarking on an adventure to places and amongst people whose lives are very different from your own. Many aspects of life in Indonesia will seem unusual. Remember that these are often the same aspects that make an area an exotic and attractive destination. While boat expeditions are considered easy, no trek is easy; even those rated "easy or moderate". In addition to the personal physical challenges you may face, travel conditions can present unexpected obstacles, such as rough and bumpy roads and changeable weather. To prepare for this "pack" a flexible and relaxed attitude. Bring a spirit of adventure and inquiry, a healthy sense of humour and a willingness to encounter the unexpected and you will find your trip to Indonesia the adventure of a lifetime!
