Tanjung Puting (Camp leakey) – Speedboat Tour

Q: Will we definitely see orangutans?

Orangutan sightings are highly likely, especially during feeding time at Camp Leakey, but wildlife sightings can never be 100% guaranteed because they live freely in the rainforest.

Yes, this tour is suitable for most ages. The jungle walk is relatively easy and the trip is comfortable using a speedboat.

Q: What should we bring for the trip?

We recommend bringing comfortable clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent, hat, camera, and comfortable walking shoes.

Q: How long is the jungle trekking at Camp Leakey?

The walk is usually around 20–40 minutes depending on the feeding schedule and trail conditions.

Q: Can we see other animals besides orangutans?

Yes. During the river cruise and jungle walk, you may also see proboscis monkeys, macaques, hornbills, kingfishers, exotic insects, and other rainforest wildlife.

Q: Can I use a drone during the tour?

Yes, but drone use requires a special permit/ticket which is not included in the package. Local regulations inside Tanjung Puting National Park must be followed at all times

Q: Is there internet or phone signal during the trip?

Phone signal and internet access can be limited or unavailable in some parts of the national park. This trip is perfect for travelers looking to disconnect and fully enjoy nature.
