We had a 2N/3D houseboattour and this was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Indonesia!The pick up from the airport was as perfectly organised as the rest of our trip from our friendly manager Nur.The whole crew and our guide Johannes solicitous accomponied us, that we felt absolutely relaxed on that trip. The food was delicious and in fact, all of our needs got satisfied.Our Guide Johannes could give us all the insights in perfect english. He created such a special flair on the boat that we could absolutely enjoy it. It was such a good balance between relaxing by ourselves, interesting talks with the guide and exploring the rain forest.We saw a lot of Orang Utans and several other monkeys.Because our flight back was in the afternoon, we even got a short city tour and a lunch before we were taken to the airport.Thanks to all the Crew!

This tour was an amazing surprise. Everything was well organised. We booked with the help of local guides and had Nur has guide.The klokok is really nice and peaceful. You sleep in the jungle with these amazing sounds of the animals and the nature. In october there were not so many people so it was quite nice ans of course seeing the orangoutans is something to do.The food on the boat was perfect! Too much! We tasted so many local food and really tasty. The breakfasts were complete.Our guide, Nur, contacted us by whats app before to ask us our specific requests. We were in contact and that was a nice thing.He and his team did they best for us. We had an amazing time and Nur is an excellent guide. He knows a lot about the area and answered all our questions. He is always smily and it is really important fpr him that we are happy.We saw a lot of animals and he explained a lot about the plants.We planted a tree for the reforestation and we really think that it should be mandatory. After 3 days in the jungle you understand the importance od it for the nature and animals.Please note that the bathroom is not supposed to be a 5 stars hotel, it is somethin traditional. And it’s amready goog to have a shower in the jungle. You will have a million stars sky for your nights in the jungle.I recommand this tour and this guide.

We had very high expectations of our Tanjung Puting tour, and it still exceeded our expectations! While cruising along the river sekonyer using klotok, we saw many bekantan and birds. The first feeding place there were some orangutans in tanjung harapan station, and then we set out again down the river and staying near the jungle lodge, a delicious diner completed the fascinating day! We slept under the mosquito nets although it was not really needed, and the jungle sounds made it so surreal! The other days were simply a continuation of the tremendous fun!Please be informed that the tours always end in the morning with all travel operators. unlike what others suggest, we found this extremely transparently communicated, and we were more than surprised when we even got a free city tour at the including lunch before we were dropped off at the airport to get to our late departing flight. i am very grateful to Local Guides (local-guides dot org) as a trusted travel agent .. very recommended!Kriss

We booked a 4D/3N tour quite late into our planning as we had to move our plans following the earthquakes in Indonesia. Both the staff at Local-Guides and our assigned guide Nur were incredibly helpful before the trip began and provided lots of information to us.We stayed a night in Pangkalanbun before we set off on the tour. Nur and our actual guide Chris met us at the hotel on time and took us to the harbour to get onto the boat (Hanesa 70). We were introduced to the rest of the crew and provided with some hot and cold drinks while we waited for the boat to be fully prepared.From here, the tour was absolutely amazing. The scenery of the park as you move through the river is incredible. We were lucky enough to see wild orangutan, proboscis monkeys and wild birds on the way to the feeding stations too.The tour took a leisurely pace and gave us plenty of time at each feeding station to watch the orangutan and other animals. Chris was always on hand to answer questions and even at one point provided us umbrellas when it started raining. We also took the opportunity to visit the nearby village, a reforestation project for a tree planting (take a donation with you!) and go on a night trek through the forest too to see tarantula and scorpions. After the end of the tour, we also managed to visit some other local attractions before going to the airport.What impressed me most was the amazing service on the boat. We had the top deck of the boat to ourselves and the staff would come to prepare the beds and then remove them each day for us. We had dinner on the deck and slept there too which was an incredible experience (a mosquito net and bedding is provided – but bring your own towel). There was an opportunity to shower every day – this was a cold shower but works perfectly for us as we wanted to reduce environmental impact.The food was incredible. We were treated to breakfast, lunch and dinner and even snacks each day – including a surprise lunch just before we left to the airport! Nur, Chris and the team were able to provide us a vegetarian diet to meet our request and the food was amazing. The rice and vegetables were great and the fruit was so amazingly sweet and tasty.I really recommend a booking here. Thanks everyone!Iago
