Tours in Borneo
The orangutans of Tanjung Puting with a night on the river
1 tour
Tanjung Puting in Borneo is the only place in our programme where you spend the night on the river and meet wild orangutans a couple of metres from the boat in the morning. The pace is slow and contemplative — just what you need after the bustle of Bali.

FAQ about Borneo
Do I need a guide in Borneo?
It isn’t essential, but the trip goes more smoothly with one: the guide translates, bargains and keeps an eye on timing. Each tour card shows its format — “With a guide”, “With a driver” or “Private”.
When is the best time to go?
The dry season is more comfortable, but routes run in the rainy season too: downpours are short and usually come in the afternoon. We’ll tell you which days are best to keep for the sea.
Is it safe to book a tour in advance?
We operate officially and confirm the itinerary and all extra charges in writing before you pay. Refunds and rescheduling follow rules you see in advance, not “depending on the situation”.
