Indonesia (Jakarta & Kalimantan, Borneo)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Indonesia is the world's largest archipelago nation, spanning over 17,000 islands across Southeast Asia and home to extraordinary biodiversity, ancient cultures, and dramatic landscapes. Jakarta, the sprawling former capital on Java, is a major urban hub known for its vibrant street food scene, colonial history, and buzzing nightlife. Kalimantan, Indonesia's portion of Borneo — the world's third-largest island — draws travellers for its dense rainforests, mighty rivers like the Mahakam, and rare wildlife encounters including wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and pygmy elephants. Together, these destinations offer a striking contrast between fast-paced city life and some of the planet's most remote and ecologically rich wilderness.

Borneo Orangutans of Tanjung Puting: Self-Launched Klotok Adventure

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 7-day Borneo orangutan trip: fly into Jakarta, then hop to Pangkalan Bun in Central Kalimantan and charter (or join a shared) traditional klotok riverboat for three nights on the Sekonyer River. You'll self-book local guides for the Tanjung Harapan, Pondok Tanggui and Camp Leakey feeding stations, take a night trek, and cruise past proboscis monkeys and hornbills — then return to Jakarta for a day of mangroves or markets. Everything is bookable independently through local Pangkalan Bun boat operators, klook/GetYourGuide for city extras, and Indonesian domestic airlines (Batik Air, Citilink, Lion Air). Costs are backpacker-level estimates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Indonesia (Jakarta & Kalimantan, Borneo) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
