Do a Night Jungle Trek: After docking for the evening, join a guided night walk near one of the camps (like Tanjung Harapan) to spot nocturnal creatures such as tarantulas, pit vipers, glowing mushrooms, and various insects and frogs.
Visit Pondok Tanggui Rehabilitation Center: Stop at this other key feeding station to observe younger or rehabilitated orangutans and learn more about their conservation efforts.
Take a Canoe Trip on a Blackwater Stream: Transfer from your klotok to a smaller, non-motorized canoe to explore the narrow, quiet side creeks where the water is dark and reflective due to peat swamps—a truly immersive jungle feeling.
Plant a Tree at a Reforestation Site: Contribute directly to the conservation efforts by participating in a tree-planting activity, often offered at locations like Pesalat.
Go Birdwatching: Keep an eye out for Borneo’s rich avian diversity, including various species of hornbills, colorful kingfishers, and eagles from the deck of your klotok.

Search for Fireflies in the Nipa Palms: In the evening, the klotok often cruises through areas where thousands of fireflies congregate on the nipa palm trees along the riverbanks, creating a magical light show.
Local Tips & Transport
Flying to Pangkalan Bun (PKN):
The gateway to Tanjung Puting National Park is Iskandar Airport (PKN) in Pangkalan Bun.
Direct Flights: The easiest way to get there is by flying directly from major Indonesian cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, or Semarang. There are typically no direct international flights.
Connections: If traveling from Bali or other destinations, a transit in one of the major cities listed above will be required. Allow for ample connection time, as domestic flights can be delayed.
River Transport (Klotok):
The Klotok is Key: The only way to explore the National Park is by a traditional wooden river boat, the klotok. This boat is your primary mode of transport and your accommodation/restaurant for the entire tour.
Transfer to Kumai: Your tour operator will arrange a car transfer from Pangkalan Bun airport or your hotel to the port of Kumai, where the klotok cruise begins.
Speedboat Option: Shorter, faster day trips to Camp Leakey are possible via speedboat, but they miss the immersive, multi-day experience of the klotok.
Conservation and Ethics:
Orangutan Etiquette: Maintain a respectable distance from the orangutans, especially wild ones. Never feed them anything, and flash photography is discouraged as it can stress the animals. Follow your guide’s instructions at all times.
Support Local: Many tour operators are locally owned and managed, with a portion of the fee often going towards conservation efforts and local community support, which is the most ethical way to visit.
Required Permits: The National Park charges an entrance fee (approx. $12 USD per day) and a boat docking/photography fee, which is usually included in your klotok tour price.
Logistics and Comfort:
Accommodation: Klotoks offer a rustic but comfortable experience. You will typically sleep on a padded mattress on the open-air top deck under a large mosquito net. Western-style toilets and showers are generally available.
Best Time to Visit: The drier season from June to September is the most popular, offering pleasant weather and high wildlife visibility. However, the shoulder months (April-May and October) can also be good, with fewer crowds.
Cash and Connectivity: ATMs are readily available in Pangkalan Bun but not in the park. Carry enough Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) for tips and local purchases. Cell service (4G) with a provider like Telkomsel is generally available in Pangkalan Bun but becomes spotty or non-existent deeper into the park.
What to Pack: Lightweight, quick-drying long-sleeve shirts and pants are essential for protecting against mosquitoes (DEET repellent is a must) and sun exposure during treks. Good closed-toe shoes are recommended for jungle walking.
Hidden Gems and Sights:
The Blackwater River: As you travel deeper toward Camp Leakey, the Sekonyer River turns into a beautiful, spooky blackwater river, caused by the tannins from the peat swamp, creating an incredible mirror reflection of the jungle canopy.
The Sounds of the Jungle: The experience of sleeping on the klotok is defined by the sounds of the rainforest at night and the morning calls of gibbons and birds—this is one of the trip’s greatest highlights.
Pangkalan Bun’s Old Town: Before or after your cruise, take time to explore Pangkalan Bun, especially the older harbor area of Kumai, to see the traditional Indonesian seafaring culture.
