Borneo Orangutan Boat tour – wildlife & river safari is our best-selling travel destination.

Orangutan faces threat as the big number of Orangutans keeps decreasing in the past years. By signing up for the orangutan trip with us, you have taken part in supporting the orangutan conservation project.
