Can’t recommend enough! Incredible 5D/4N tour

This tour was absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience to see orangutans in the wild. Our guide, Nur, went above and beyond to make sure that all our needs/wants were taken care of, and was enthusiastic to explain all about the wildlife and conservation challenges they face. The 5 days/4 nights was a perfect amount of time to get in a ton of orangutan sightings and experience what became my favorite jungle in the world. It was a great balance of being on the boat and hiking in the jungle, with the additional benefits of cool night hikes for rare animal sightings. Being on the klotok was so relaxing, the food was amazing, and all the staff were all great at their jobs and made us feel well taken care of. It also allowed close up photos of all the wildlife, most of which didn’t mind the boats. We highly recommend this tour to any who want to experience the wonders of this national park. Thanks again to the amazing local guides! – Giovanni and Isabel
