About this activity

The Borneo Orangutan and Dayak Trekking Tour 6 Days 5 Nights is a remarkable journey into the heart of Kalimantan’s tropical rainforest. This adventure combines a river safari to see wild orangutans with an authentic trekking experience through the jungle where the traditional Dayak tribes live. Travelers will explore one of the world’s oldest rainforests while discovering rare wildlife, indigenous culture, and untouched nature.

During this immersive journey, guests cruise along peaceful jungle rivers, visit orangutan rehabilitation areas, and trek deep into the forest guided by local Dayak communities. As a result, this tour offers both wildlife encounters and cultural discovery, making it one of the most authentic rainforest adventures in Indonesia.

Your journey begins in Central Kalimantan, where vast rainforest landscapes and winding rivers create one of the most important habitats for orangutans in the world. Travelers board a traditional river boat to cruise through the jungle waterways while observing the unique ecosystem that surrounds the Sekonyer River. Along the riverbanks, you may see proboscis monkeys, hornbills, macaques, and other tropical wildlife living freely in the forest.

One of the highlights of the journey is visiting the orangutan feeding stations located within the national park. These protected areas help rehabilitate orangutans before they return to the wild. Watching these gentle primates swing through the forest canopy is an unforgettable wildlife experience and a rare opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat. The Borneo Orangutan and Dayak Trekking Tour can help you learn about the Dayak’s daily life.

The adventure continues with a deeper exploration of Borneo’s rainforest through a guided jungle trekking experience. Led by experienced Dayak guides, travelers walk along forest trails while learning about traditional survival skills, medicinal plants, and the unique biodiversity of the jungle. The dense rainforest offers incredible scenery with towering trees, exotic plants, and the sounds of wildlife surrounding the trail.

Another memorable part of the journey is visiting a traditional Dayak village. The Dayak people are the indigenous inhabitants of Borneo and have preserved their culture and customs for generations. Visitors can learn about traditional longhouses, local handicrafts, and the fascinating history of these forest communities. Cultural interaction with the Dayak people adds a meaningful dimension to this wildlife adventure.

Throughout the tour, travelers experience both the tranquility of the rainforest and the excitement of wildlife exploration. From peaceful river cruises to adventurous jungle treks, this journey reveals the natural and cultural treasures of Borneo.
