4D3N extended itinerary on the most comfortable houseboat with air-conditioning!
This 4D3N private orangutan deluxe adventure is the most comfortable way to explore Tanjung Puting National Park and see wild orangutans.Unlike most traditional klotok boats where you sleep on a mattress out on the main deck, this one comes with your own private, air-conditioned cabin for up to 4 guests - a game changer in the humid rainforest. You’ll have a proper bed, 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.What sets this boat trip apart is its longer itinerary. While most Tanjung Puting cruises run for 3 days and can feel a bit rushed, this 4-day journey lets you slow down and take it all in. You’ll have more time at the orangutan feeding stations, more moments to relax on deck and enjoy the river views, and additional activities like canoeing along the peaceful bamboo river. There’s also an extra stop in Pangkalan Bun town, where you'll learn more about and appreciate the local Dayak culture.This is perfect for conscious travellers, wildlife lovers and families who want an immersive jungle experience 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 moreEnjoy canoeing on the bamboo riverStop at traditional Dayak longhouse for a brief introduction into Borneo's tribesExpert guidance from a passionate guide with decades of experienceGood to KnowThis is the most deluxe klotok available - AC cabins and 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.

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.
