Apart from the natural beauty of Borneo and the fascinating insight which came from observing orangutans at close quarters Sister Tour provided a guide by the name of Adin who was so knowledgeable and had such a keen eye for all the jungle wildlife that she took my experience to another level. Well done Sister Tour and well done and thank you Adin.

Very nice and relaxed tour for a group of friends or family. It was great to see all the wildlife from so close. The pick up and logistics worked super smoothly. Food was reasonable and the sleeping was great (fresh air!). Not all the guides know as much, but there are always others around to help out.

An experience of a lifetime!
We had the most amazing trip last week, we could not have asked for more.
Our tour guide Teguh was brilliant - he was so knowledgeable and was always eager to share facts and stories about everything that we saw. The rest of the crew were also superb, the food was amazing, the boat was always clean and the captain was very good at stopping in the perfect spot to view wildlife along the river. The Seek Sophie reps that were there to greet us on arrival and wave us off at the end were very welcoming.
The activities were nicely spread out across the 4 days so that there was plenty of time to relax and cruise along the river but also lots for us to do and see. We were super lucky with the wildlife that we saw and a lot of that was down to the crew spotting them from the boat - they are all so talented.
The whole national park is set up with the welfare of the orangutans in mind and the tourism provides a large chunk of the funding for the national park. So there is no uneasy feelings about the animals, they are being really well looked after.
100% book this trip if you are having any doubts!!

Beyond my expectations, I loved my stay on the boat, it was nice, had a clean bathroom, and was very comfortable. The meals and snacks were extraordinary. The trekking was quite easy and enjoyable. I came during the low season, so I had plenty of time to relax and watch the orangutan feeding without being in a hurry. I truly loved the overall experience and would love to go back someday.

The trip was absolutely a rewarding one for my partner and I. We were hosted by Vera from Orangutan Applause and crew who made the entire live aboard experience extremely hospitable and comfortable. We got lucky with out wildlife spotting, but more importantly, it was Vera and the Tanjung Puting rangers were ensured our safety and constantly engaging us with bite size knowledge, educating us about our surroundings. On our last day, we visited folks from the Sekonyer village and we had the opportunity to interact with the elementary school kids who had the widest smiles on their faces. It was a very fulfilling 4D3N journey. Thank you Seek Sophie and Orangutan Appluase!

I absolutely loved this trip! Best part of my month-long visit to Indonesia. The guide and crew of the boat were fantastic - knowledgeable and helpful with everything. And the cook - best food I've had in a long time. Orangutan Applause runs a professional operation from start to finish - good communication about logistics and an amazing team for the trip itself.
Seeing the orangutans at the feeding stations was amazing and my guide made sure we arrived in a timely way to see all the action. But we also saw totally wild orangutans from the boat as we cruised down the river, as well as proboscis monkeys and other wildlife. The guide and the crew were always looking and pointing them out to me.
And just being on the river itself was amazing - I love being on the water and it was relaxing (even when we got a bit of rain). And I would 100% recommend doing the 4 day/3 night trip as you really get to relax and enjoy things, as well as spend more time on side excursions.
Again, do not hesitate - book this trip today!

Diese Reise hat uns von der Begrüßung bis zur Verabschiedung total begeistert. Was wir gemeinsam mit dieser tollen herzlichen Crew erlebt haben, übertraf unsere Vorstellungen. Das Boot war sauber, das von Mamri in dieser primitiven Küche stand einer Sterneküche in nichts nach. Es war noch besser, da eine so fleissige Frau sie mit so viel Herzblut zubereitet hat. Der Captain war Weltklasse, wir hatten immer den besten Platz und sahen so viele Tiere. Die Crew war stets um unser Wohl bedacht und wir hatten viel Spaß miteinander. Wir haben uns einfach willkommen geheißen. Und nicht zuletzt unser Guide Gordon. Er wusste unheimlich viel obwohl er erst 27 Jahre jung war. Er war ein hervorragender Tier- u. Pflanzenbeobachter. Er sah und fand alles im noch so besten Versteck. Wer diese Reise nicht bucht, verpasst was in seinem Leben! Vielen Dank an alle, die dieses traumhafte Erlebnis für uns möglich gemacht haben 👏😍
