Tanjung Puting is quite a departure from most people's vacation plans, as there's nothing else to do in Pangkalan Bun. So you want to make sure that Tanjung Puting tanjung puting tour worth the hassle to get here.

Here are a few suggestions to help you choose a reputable tour operator, choose a top-quality boat and some ideas on items that you should bring in addition to the obvious (e.g. insect repellent, good shoes with long sleeves, sun cream) to make the Orangutan Tour even more special:

The checks for these boats must be conducted

Ask the tour operator if their boats are equipped with Western showers (as as opposed to Mandi) Mandi) as well as Western toilets (as as opposed to an squat toilet). Check that they use fresh water in the boat and not the river's water (toilets are flushed into the river).

Request an Licensed Guide

You should be sure that tour operators that are licensed only employ guides who are knowledgeable of the animals, flora, safety guidelines and English.

Do a Night Trek

If you're booking an 3D2N Orangutan Tour, usually it isn't included in the standard itinerary However, chances are that the tour operator provides the option for free upon request. Night walks are extremely special and can be a great opportunity to see beautiful glowing mushrooms. Tell your guide before you get to Pangkalan Bun that you wish to go on a night hike.

Be the first one to leave the feeding station

It is possible to visit three feeding stations where you will observe orangutans being fed on a platform. It takes around one hour to feed orangutans. The most memorable part of feedings is usually the first one, when they are swinging from tree-to-tree. You can travel through the river in total privacy if you leave prior to the crowd.

Brew Coffee and Beer

In the orangutan tour, you will be served with the standard local coffee, which is mostly hot water with filter coffee. However, it's not filtered. If you prefer a great cup of coffee you may like to bring your own French Press or instant coffee. To fully enjoy the romantic and beautiful Klotok setting, you may be thinking about bringing your own white wine. Due to muslim customs you cannot purchase alcohol in Pangkalan Bun. However, you are able to bring your own wine or alcohol with you to Pangkalan Bun so that you can drink it during the travel.

Mobile Charger

There are outlets onboard, but we wouldn't suggest using them to charge electronic devices. The boat's power engine does not provide constant voltage, so it's not advised. This is the case for all boats. It is recommended to bring an external charger for batteries, which can be bought at any store that sells outdoor products.

Hammock

If you own a hammock, take it! Sitting in your hammock on the klotok while taking a cruise through the jungle is the ultimate chill experience.
