Review Body: We had a great tour with Vonny and the Look Orangutan team! The team were friendly and knowledgeable and we were looked after well with lots of good food, snacks and drinks. I was there as a solo traveller and it was great to meet 4 other guests onboard. I loved the whole tour - it was so peaceful to cruise along the river spotting monkeys in the trees and watching the world go by. The highlight of course was seeing the orangutans. We were very lucky at the first feeding station and were surrounded by orangutans for a couple of hours. It was completely magical. The night hike was also fantastic. We saw plenty of wildlife, including a snake and a frog. Some things to note for other guests - the boat is basic but equipt with toilet, shower and (solar-powered) electricity. If you are there as a solo traveller you will likely need to share a bed but I had no problem with this, and on my trip they put the two female solo travellers together. Bring a head torch and mosquito spray, and I'd recommend binoculars (although I didn't have any). Thanks to the team at Look Orangutan!

Review Body: 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

Review Body: 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.

Review Body: 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!

Review Body: An unforgettable experience! 🦧🌿 This tour was truly one of the highlights of my trip. Sailing through the jungle on a traditional klotok, seeing orangutans, proboscis monkeys and so much wildlife in their natural habitat was absolutely magical. Everything was very well organized, the crew was wonderful, the food delicious and our guide was knowledgeable and caring. Sleeping on the boat surrounded by the sounds of the jungle made it even more special. A unique adventure that I will never forget. Highly recommended! ❤️

Review Body: 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 🌿🦧✨

Review Body: Great trip. Places were great. We hade the chance to see like 20 orangus, plus a numerous of monkeys in the wild. The trekking during night showed us a new world of night animals and insect, which we saw only in documentaries. The boat is a klotok so do not expect luxury boat of course, but was really comfortable, 3 people in it had a lot of space. Enough for 4 . The crew has been great , cooking for us and delivering best experience. We must save Kalimantan

Review Body: Was everything I could hope for. Went during the worst forest fires in a decade but still was a perfect trip that I wouldn't have any other way. Toilet wasn't working during the last hours but that wasn't really an issue. Team was great, we were well taken care of. Food was amazing and diverse and there was always a flow of included bottled mineral water and coke. Thanks Annie!
