The tour was perfect! Budi (driver for today) arrived on time, drove safely and we got to Tumpeng Menoreh to see the sunrise. Then went to the coffee farm (Menoreh Coffee Farm) and met Marwiyah. The coffee roasting with traditional methods was definitely exciting (I have much to learn). Highly recommended! The early morning wakeup is worth it.

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.

Good communication regarding the activity. Pickup was on time. All timings were as scheduled. The driver was kind and courteous. The guides on the boat were lovely, considerate, kind and helpful. Our group was small but it was enjoyable. The cave was spectacular and we really enjoyed the snorkelling in a spot where it was just the 4 of us and we saw fabulous marine life. AND finally the sunset at Ameilia Hill was spectacular. Could not have asked for a better day... really had fun.

I have visited a few places around South East Asia where you can see orangutans (Leuser National Park in Sumatra, Kinabatangan River in Sabah and Semenggoh in Kuching) and this place by far was the most impressive in terms of abundance of wildlife. Not only did we see orangutans at the feeding platforms where it's a fairly high probability, but also loads along the river banks. In addition to orangutans we also saw loads of proboscis monkeys and macaques. Plenty of hornbills and kingfishers and even a quick glance of a crocodile. I would also highly recommend Dessy's and Arif's team for this trip as their company focuses on slow cruising letting visitors enjoy wildlife in their natural habitat. We ended up seeing more orangutans eating in the trees than we could count! We did get lucky with fruiting season as it was happening during our visit in mid April (but it can vary!) The guides are incredibly knowledgable, full of stories of the local orangutan lives and behaviours. The crew is super friendly and the food is very good! Do be prepared for the boat trip. Although relaxing, it is exposed to the elements so do bring bug spray, sun protection and change of clothes (for hot, wet and cooler weather). Highly highly recommend!!

What a beautiful experience!!! Can’t say enough about this trip. Communication with the owner and staff was second to none. We were treated meticulously from start to finish, picking us up at the airport at the beginning to personally taking us to our hotel on our return. Our guide Vera was so friendly and enthusiastic and so much fun by giving us her “fun facts on birds, crocodiles, primates and bird nest houses to mention a few. We learned so much not only about the orangutan but Indonesia and their culture. The food was some of the best we have had in the country and many courses and snacks. More than enough for us. The captain and his right hand managed the riverboat safe and smooth. Staff were always looking for wildlife to show us. They truly love their job and it shows! We saw wild orangutan not only at the feeding stations, went on a night walk which was amazing. The ranger was very kind and knowledgeable about the forest and its inhabitants. The bed on the boat was comfortable and the loungers worked great for spotting with our binoculars. Thanks so much to the owners for giving us the trip of a lifetime!! Mike & Paula from Canada.
