Communication with Arif went very smoothly, he send also a lot of useful information before departure.
 We were very enthusiastic with having Alan as our guide. He knows a lot about Tanjung Puting, the animals and orangutans in particular. He even knows the names of the orangutans. And on top of it, his sense of humor ia great. We recommend Arif and Alan and we surely come again.

Was an absolutely amazing trip. The boat was incredible! The food was amazing! Don't fill up on breakfast at your hotel, you are going to be fed a lot and the food was amazing. Alan was our guide and was fabulous! Excellent English and incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Have taken tours across the globe and his was possibly the best. And the orangutans! Incredible! And the day ended at sunset along the river bank with an absolutely magical firefly display! Could not have been better. From the cook, captain, deckhand, and our guide Alan. You will not be disappointed and be prepared to be completely amazed! Also, the communication during our original planning and leading all the way up to our hotel pickup was greatly appreciated. A top notch operation top to bottom!!

Had a really nice day exploring Pangkalanbun and Kumai.
 The visit to Istana Mangkubumi was super special because the host also my guide, Monica shared real family stories that made the place come alive. Istana Kuning was interesting too, even though the staff weren’t really around when I visited.

What made the day even better was Monica, my guide. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and shared so many real stories about the local culture, myths, and daily life. It didn’t feel scripted at all, just real and honest.
 The canoe ride along the Arut River was peaceful and a really cool way to see how people live along the water.

I was actually not feeling very fit, but Monica's stories make me feel awake and energise!
 Overall it’s a simple, genuine experience. Nothing fancy, but thanks to Monica, it felt personal and really memorable.
