About this Journey
A 4-day, 3-night journey through Tanjung Puting National Park, exploring the rainforest by klotok along the Sekonyer River. The trip includes three main stops such as Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui, and Camp Leakey, with more time to experience each location at a relaxed pace. The extended duration also allows for a slower exploration along the Sekonyer River with more opportunities to observe wildlife such as proboscis monkeys, birds, and the possibility of spotting crocodiles in their natural habitat while enjoying a more unhurried journey.
