A visit to Tanjung Puting National Park promises unforgettable sensations and lasting memories. Hospitality and excellent service are at the heart of Orangutan Travel’s mission.
All of our field staff are local professionals with deep experience and a strong commitment to the preservation of Tanjung Puting National Park.
During your journey, you can simply relax on the boat while enjoying coffee, tea, and freshly fried bananas served by our crew. Take in the peaceful afternoon atmosphere beneath the towering trees, and look up to watch proboscis monkeys as they chat and move through the canopy—an experience that is both calming and truly unforgettable.
