They convert traditional Kalimantan river vessels into comfortable cruise boats, inviting guests to connect with unique local traditions and the extraordinary diversity of the flora and fauna.

Occupying three-quarters of Borneo, the third largest island in the world, Kalimantan, or rivers of diamonds, is home to the Dayak, or indigenous upland people, generally living along the edges of the vast rivers which flow directly from the mountainous interior. The rivers are the highways, and distinct Dayak languages are spoken along their courses.

Venturing into this park’s extraordinary biodiversity, the iconic orangutan is always to be seen. It also abounds in other remarkable wildlife, including endangered proboscis monkeys, gibbons, wild boar, stunning red monkeys, birdlife, and fireflies.

Here they take guests on a trek into the park to spot a wild orangutan (not guaranteed) and other wildlife. They also visit villages here and experience a warm Dayak welcome and cultural displays.
