Just a short hop from Jakarta, Wow Borneo offers a range of orangutan cruises, post-and pre-cruise land tours, combination cruises and private charter options.

OUR CRUISES are aboard our own luxurious locally built vessels and take you through forest lined rivers to discover wildlife and Dayak culture with 3 different locations to choose from in Central Kalimantan, enabling you to observe the iconic orangutan in its natural habitat. Wow Borneo offers comfortable cabins, delicious food and great service. Although easily accessible from Jakarta International airport, we offer exclusive and unique experiences away from the crowds on the Rungan River seeing the BOS orangutan islands, on the Katingan River in the Sebangau National Park and on the Sekonyer River in the better known Tanjung Puting National Park.

Journeying along the Kahayan and Rungan Rivers, this cruse offers a combination of orangutan sightings along the river, a visit to the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation centre, as well as cultural visits to riverside Dayak villages. Join the Rahai’i Pangun with 5 cabins (2 Superior Large, 2 Doubles, all air-conditioned, and a fan cooled twin bunk cabin for guides) altogether comfortably accommodating 8 people. Scheduled cruises depart Saturdays and Tuesdays. Come with a group of friends for the weekend!

Cruise into the famed Tanjung Puting Park aboard either of our air conditioned boats, The Sekonyer or the Kumai. Offering the same standards of outstanding comfort and service as our other vessels, each has 3 air conditioned and ensuite cabins and departs on scheduled join-in cruises every Saturday and Tuesday.

The Spirit of Kalimantan accommodates 7 passengers in 3 air conditioned, comfortable cabins. She is an adventurous experience for our guests wanting to visit the famed Sebangau National Park. There is a chance to do a jungle trek, and later we explore villages and remarkable black water lake systems off the Katingan River. No other tourists there! Scheduled departures on Saturdays and Tuesdays.

OUR COMBINATION CRUISES are designed for those with a passionate interest in wildlife and range from joining 2 orangutan cruise programs or combining an orangutan cruise with a
Komodo Dragon cruise to Eastern Indonesia.

WOW Borneo’s Private Charter Orangutan Cruise Option provides the perfect way to travel on board luxurious boats, with family, friends or for businesses wanting to provide a special experience to their employees. Ideal both for small or larger groups, for meal or full day cruises, or overnights, for a few people to a maximum of 30 people on board our large Rahai’i Pangun. Our Private Charter option may be the best option for you.
Groups all enjoy fabulous cuisine on the spacious and comfortable viewing deck whilst passing through forest lined rivers to spot orangutans. The boats are a great way to relax, spend quality time with family, friends or colleagues, and immersed in the unique scenery.
