You’ll have proper beds, a private space to unwind, and you won’t be swatting mosquitoes all night. It's perfect if you want the full rainforest experience without sacrificing comfort.Not only will you cruise through the jungle in a comfy floating home, but you’ll also be guided by a true local expert with over 30 years of experience. You’re not just seeing orangutans - you’re understanding their story, their habitat, and the challenges they face.This is a great choice for families, couples, first-time jungle explorers, and anyone who wants to connect with nature without roughing it out.What to ExpectThe most comfortable klotok in the area - air-con cabins and fresh water showersVisit all 3 orangutan feeding stations: Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui & Camp LeakeySlow river cruising through stunning rainforest scenery and blackwater creeksDay and night jungle walks to spot playful primates, glowing fungi, tarantulas and moreFirefly-lit dinner and stargazing on the riverbanksStop at traditional Dayak longhouse for a brief introduction into Borneo's tribesExpert guidance from a passionate guide with decades of experienceDepart from a private harbour in Kumai and avoid the traffic and wait of the public harbourGood to KnowThis is the most deluxe klotok available - AC cabins and properly plumbed, fresh water showers/toiletsA private experience, tailored just for your groupAll meals, snacks, tea/coffee and transfers are includedLittle to no phone signal during the trip - perfect for a digital detoxThe terrain at the feeding stations is beginner-friendly but can be muddy - bring good shoesNot included: tips, flights, or extra snacks beyond mealsAmenities/facilitiesPrivate air-conditioned cabin with bed and mosquito netFresh water shower and toilet onboard (not river water)All meals cooked fresh by an onboard chefOnboard viewing deck and dining areaTransfers to and from airport or hotel in Pangkalan BunAccommodation1 x Double Cabin (Upper Deck): Comfortably accommodates up to 3 guests with AC, featuring 1 double bed and 1 extra bed.1 x Family Cabin (Lower Deck): Comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests with AC, featuring 1 double bed and 2 single bunk bed.

Please let the crew know during your trip and they will be happy to assist.We provide mattresses, mosquito nets, and blankets for a comfortable night on the deckThe boat can accommodate a maximum of 7 people - extra guests (up to 4) will sleep on the open-air deck (1 double bed, 2 extra beds + fan), a favourite for those who love falling asleep with natural breeze and listen to the sound of jungle.

Meet your host

Riyan Momod grew up in Pangkalan Bun, right on the edge of Borneo’s rainforest, and has spent over 30 years helping others experience its wonders. He doesn’t just guide — he invites people into his world, whether that’s spotting wild orangutans from a quiet klotok boat or sharing stories in a Dayak longhouse. Riyan knows the forest like home because it is, and he works closely with local communities to make sure every journey supports the people who live there. His tours feel more like being shown around by an old friend — someone who quietly takes care of every detail, respects the land deeply, and makes sure you’re not just passing through, but truly connecting.
