Short on time but still want to an amazing wildlife experience? This one-day private speedboat safari is the best way to explore Tanjung Puting National Park and see wild orangutans - all in just one action-packed day.Unlike the classic multi-day houseboat trips (klotok tours), this high-speed adventure takes you deep into the park quickly, without missing the highlights. You’ll visit orangutan information center in Tanjung Harapan, see wild orangutans, and still have time for a jungle walk and canoe to the black water channel (Sungai Buluh).What really makes this stand out is the guide. You’re not just ticking off your bucket list - you'll be guided by a trained wildlife expert who brings the rainforest to life with stories and insights about orangutans, the forest, and the local ecosystem.It’s perfect for conscious travellers who want the depth of a private multi-day tour, but only have one day to spare.What to ExpectVisit orang utan information center in Tanjung HarapanPrivate or small group speedboat trip - no crowded group boatsSee orangutans up close during feeding timeCanoeing to the black water channel Sungai BuluhShort jungle walk to learn about forest ecology from a trained wildlife guideLearn from expert guides passionate about conservation and local cultureDepart from a private harbour in Kumai and avoid the traffic and wait of the public harbourGood to KnowThis is a fast-paced day trip - great for travellers with limited timeAll permits and Park entry fees are includedLunch is provided, on the village rest areaItineraries may shift due to river conditionsSuitable for all fitness levels - short jungle walk is on flat terrainTour can start from your hotel or Pangkalan Bun AirportAmenities/facilitiesPrivate speedboat transport with scenic viewsEnglish-speaking wildlife-trained guideInclusive of lunch, permits, and ranger donationsRound-trip transfers from hotel or airport
