4-daagse privétour orang-oetans en Borneose mensapen vanuit Pangkalanbuun

Fully recommend this Trip and orang applause. We had a great time on a great boat as the food Was very nice, all was organized perfectly from cleanness as well as the drive itself. Our guide jeffrey was explaning all about the Park and the animals and was always very much taking care of us that we enjoy the trip with a.positive attidude..also communication in advance with dessy was super smooth an. Would immediately go again on this tour ????

This was absolutely one of the best experiences of our lives!! The Orangutans, people, and rainforest will forever be in our hearts. The crew went above and beyond to make this unforgettable and the experience was made complete by our amazing tour guide, Guh! The crew kept the boat tidy, served amazing meals and even refreshments in between outings. They were so gracious and always asked if we needed anything. The bed was comfortable, we slept very well, and there is a western toilet, shower and sink on board! Guh shared stories and information with us every step of the way and kept us smiling! He had an iPad to show pictures and videos and elaborate on what we were seeing. He even played a traditional Dayak instrument for us over candlelight dinners that brought us to tears. And we can’t forget his Orangutan puppet “Jojo” and his crocodile he uses to deter the macaques from climbing on board hahaha! Amazing!! Adults and children alike would be blown away by this trip. 10/10 recommend this for anyone that ever has an opportunity to go!!

I 100% recommend Orangutan Applause for your Borneo / Orangutan adventure. After contacting 5 different companies, I decided to go with OA because Dessy was extremely responsive to my questions and her communication was clear and concise (all done via WhatsApp). Dessy also booked our internal flights (at no extra cost) which was helpful because some of the airlines would not accept a non-Indonesian credit card payment. We sent her a screen shot of the flights we wanted, she booked them and then we reimbursed her with a money transfer via Wise. We did the 3 night / 4 day trip which was the perfect amount of time. We’d come so far for the experience, 2 nights wouldn’t have been enough. On the extra day we did a trek for a few hours and then a canoe trip down one of the small side rivers which I recommend to give you a different perspective. We saw everything we’d hoped and more. I lost count of the number of orangutans we saw; such a privilege to see them in their natural habit. The feeding stations were a great opportunity to observe them interacting with each other but seeing them hanging out in the trees along the riverbank was really special. Also I’ll never forget sitting on the bow of the boat at sunset watching proboscis monkeys at play in a nearby tree, more entertaining than you can imagine. Our guide Ippin was very knowledgeable and did a great job of pointing things out and educating us but also knowing when to give us some privacy and alone time. Our cook, Appi fed us until I thought I’d explode. One day when we came back from a feeding station he presented a huge plate of grilled sweet bananas, I declared that there was no possible way we could eat a portion so big and 10 minutes later the plate was empty. Needless to say, the food was great. I swear I put on about 4lbs in 4 days. You have been warned! Sleeping on the deck of the boat was all part of the experience. We love to camp so we were totally comfortable with the set up. It was magical going to sleep and waking to the sounds of the forest and bugs were not a problem especially with the mosquito net. This not an inexpensive trip but when you factor in a private boat, a guide, a chef, a captain and captains mate, park fees and food for 4 days, it’s totally worth it. Plus, did I mention orangutans? *Device charging advice from someone who spends a lot of time on boats. Bring a battery pack and charge that from the boat power, then charge your devices from the battery pack. If you charge your devices directly from the boat and there is a power surge, your devices will likely get fried*
