Day 1 : ORANGUTAN ISLAND – JAHANJANG – TALAGA

On arrival in Palangka Raya, we pick you up from the airport and in our air conditioned private charter car. From here we travel to Nyaru Menteng and board a simple local canoe to see the beautiful orangutan island, home to rehabilitated orangutans prior to their release into the wild. We watch from a distance that will not disturb this process as they adapt to the natural forest environment of the island. After return to land, we visit the Foundation’s Education Centre and have lunch in a favourite Dayak grill warung, before returning to the cars for a 2 hour drive to Jahanjang port on the Katingan River. Here we board the Spirit of Kalimantan for a welcome drink and snack as the boat heads down stream to the village of Telaga. Walk through the village and join some games with the villagers, and look at the local fishing home industry. The boat finds a quiet mooring for the night.
