Relaxing Mid Week Jungle River Cruise 3 Night (RP3)

Day 1      

ARRIVAL PALANGKARAYA - START CRUISE

Meet at Palangkaraya Airport and transfer to the Rahai’i Pangun in Palangkaraya harbor to start your journey. Cruise past the stilted and floating houses of the provincial capital and continue upriver along the jungle lined river, passing villages and to your first sighting of the magnificent orangutan. In the late afternoon as the heat of the day starts to cool, take a canoe to get a closer look of the orangutans and on through the shimmering black water lakes. Keep an eye out for proboscis monkeys, hornbills and Brahmini kites. Return to the Rahai’i Pangun for dinner and a quiet dinner in the midst of the jungle.

Day 2       MARANG – KANARAKAN

The Rahai’i Pangun moves up the Rungan River, passing the village of Tangkiling and the orangutan release island of Pulau Kaja, to Kanarakan village. Walk through the village with a local host to see how people live and work in these isolated communities. Enjoy a traditional village entertainment.
Canoe ride in lakes and return to overnight near the village.

Day 3       KANARAKAN – TANGKILING

The boat makes its way down stream, again passing the orangutan island and making its way to Palas Island. Transfer by canoe to Tangkiling Hill to see the village ‘patahu’ at the sacred Batu Banama rock, and then to climb the hill for a view of the vast, flat flood plains and catch the sunset. Return to the boat for dinner and quiet mooring on the river.

Day 4         TUMBANG TAHAI – DEPARTURE

After your final delicious breakfast, transfer from the Rahai’i Pangun for the last time to return to your hotel or to the airport.
