About this experience

Step into the heart of Kalimantan on this immersive 4D3N Orangutan Experience, where river journeys, dense rainforests, and rich Dayak culture come together. Travel comfortably aboard the spacious Borneo Escape boat as you cruise along peaceful jungle rivers, including a visit to the BOSF pre-release island, where rehabilitating orangutans can be observed directly from the boat with insightful explanations from professional guides.

Venture deeper into the forest in search of wild orangutans in their natural habitat—a truly special experience shaped by nature itself. While sightings cannot be guaranteed, every trek, river cruise, and village visit offers meaningful encounters with wildlife, local traditions, and untouched landscapes. This journey is designed for travelers seeking an authentic, educational, and respectful connection with Borneo’s wilderness.
