The tropical climate of Indonesia makes it an inviting place for unique wildlife. Perhaps the most well known and beloved is the orangutan, meaning "man of the forest" in Bahasa Indonesia. Make sure you don't miss the opportunity to see these creatures in their native habitat.

Our 4 days, 3 nights boat tour with Orangutan Applause was absolutely incredible. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our boat crew and tour guide were so friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and the wildlife was out of this world. We also loved the canoe ride through the black river. Seeing the Orangutans was a humbling and magical experience. We will never forget it. The team went above and beyond with checking in on flight delays and helping us navigate them - truly went above and beyond for us. Thank you again for such an memorable time.

We had a really fun and adventurous trip to see the orangutans directly. We love the facilities that the boat had, the food was really delicious it energized us to have the trekking inside the jungle. We do really love that we could blend in with the nature, seeing more of the floras and faunas. Overall, we really love the experience, really recharging, really entertaining with the natures, also entertaining with the facilities of the boat and the food.

Tanjung Puting was such an amazing experience for me.

The food was really good, fresh, and always satisfying. It gave us the energy we needed for trekking and long days exploring the jungle.

And the guide? The best!!! I was honestly so impressed. Their knowledge about wildlife, plants, and local culture was incredible. You can really feel their passion and experience.
 I also want to mention the boat crew. They were so kind and attentive. They always made sure our beds and the dining area were clean and comfortable. Every time we came back from trekking, everything was already tidy and ready for us. It made the whole experience feel so relaxing and well taken care of.

Five stars from me. Highly recommended!

Other than spending some time during the holidays with my youngest sister who lives in Indonesia, this was the highligt of my trip! I booked this as a gift to my mom and sister and did not regret it. Ami was a knowledgeable, kind and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was great. We saw so many Orangutans as well as other monkeys! Ample time was provided at each stop and our guide made sure to show us other flora and fauna on the walk in and out, so we learned so much about Borneo. The cook was a wonderful woman who provided such filling a delicious meals! It was nice to float along the river and relax from the stress of day to day and I even spotted an Orangutan hanging out as we floated by. The captain and second captain were awesome, too, they expertly guided the boat through the river and got us tied up so we could get to shore. Thank you, Ami and crew for a truly unforgettable experience

It was a three-day dream experience. My early morning flight was an hour early and I missed it, so I was at a loss. But they responded appropriately via email and we were able to fly in the afternoon and join the tour. My guide, Rusmin, and my three companions were also very kind, and I, who participate alone, was able to spend time without any worries. The many orangutans I saw up close, the gibbons I saw on Tengzal 49, and the starry sky, Milky Way and hordes of swarms of scourges I saw from the night ship were all dreamlike and the biggest adventure of my life. The food was delicious and I was able to eat it for three days without getting bored. Thank you very much. I just hope that rich forest lasts forever.

This shared trip was AMAZING. Three orangutan feeding stations? ✅ Made new travel buddies? ✅ Core memories unlocked? BIG YES. I saw three alpha male orangutans, around 20 orangutans in total, five crocodiles (still alive, thankfully), proboscis monkeys, glowing fungi on a night trek, tarantulas, giant ants, and a firefly show so magical I genuinely questioned reality.
 Add insanely good local food, an awesome guide and crew, and it all came together as an unforgettable jungle adventure 🌿🦧✨
