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.
