3 wonderfull days with Jennye and his crew ! One of the best meet of my life in a stunning park with these gorgeous orangoutangs !
ReplyDeleteThank you to share with us your knowledge
My daughter (12), son (10), wife and I spent an amazing 4 days/3 nights with Jenie and his crew exploring the delights of Tanjung Puting National Park. Jenie brought the park to life with his encyclopedic knowledge of its flora and fauna. I would highly recommend both visiting this amazing area and using Jenie as your guide!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and myself start our Indonesia trip in Kalimantan’s Tanjung Putting National Park by the end of past June; although the rest of the journey in the other islands was great, both agree the 3D/2N tour we spend in the National Park was the most extraordinary experience.
ReplyDeleteFrom the very beginning, Jenie, his brother Turis and all his “klotok” crew make this tour unforgettable.
Orangutans, proboscis “long nose” monkeys, macaques, water snakes, crocodiles, kingfishers, nice sunsets, nights with trees plenty of fireflies, sunrise hearing thousands of jungle sounds, etc…
Everything surrounded with the detailed explanations of Turis and Jenie, which love their Island, the park biodiversity, and specially these “almost human” orangutans.
Most important; Jenie have a mission to work for in Kumai, protect the orangutans environment in Borneo, thank you very much for let us feel as part of it.
As conclusion, we highly recommend everyone visiting this paradise and do it with Jenie and his team to make the trip memorable.

Jenie – Sorry it’s taken so long to write!
ReplyDeleteThis is James and Laura. We visited the Tanjung Puting National Park with your tour in October, 2014.
It was an amazing experience from start to finish. The crew were great fun and really looked after us. They showed us all sorts of wildlife at every opportunity. The main attraction was the Orangutan’s which were incredible to observe, but we were so impressed to see crocodiles in the wild on route to the base camps. In addition we saw a Monitor Lizard as well as a variety of different species of Monkeys as we drifted through the waterways.
We loved sleeping on the boat in the rainforest, it was truly an unforgettable experience. The fire flies were spectacular. The food was amazing, as was the crews knowledge of the surroundings.
It was so fantastic that we have recommended it to many people. Our friend Brooke has now also just been on your tour and we’re sure she also shared an amazing experience.
We want to Thank You so much as it was one of the highlights of our 4 months travelling. It was truly an unforgettable experience. We thank you so much for inviting us into your home and for showing us such an amazing experience. You all had some fantastic stories to share with us.
We would recommend this to anyone who wants to see Orangutan’s amongst other wildlife. It’s a truly unforgettable experience!
Jo and I spent 2 incredible days chugging along the Skonyer river on a traditional Klotok in Tanjung Puting National Park. Jenie and his wife are among the kindest and most friendly people we have ever met, they will do everything they can to make sure you have the most wonderful trip. Jenie arranged a fantastic guide and crew for us, all of whom never stopped smiling the whole time we were with them. The food cooked on board, was fresh and delicious and just kept on coming! During our trip, we were lucky enough to see wild orang utans, gibbons, troops of proboscis monkeys, macaques, a variety of interesting birds, hundreds of fireflies, glow in the dark mushrooms and even a wild tarantula!
ReplyDeleteWe were totally thrilled and enthralled the entire time.
We can't recommend Jenie and his team highly enough. It really was the trip of a lifetime and will stay with us forever.

In 2013 heb ik een soloreis gemaakt door Indonesie en had de mogelijkheid om mijn reis af te sluiten met een paar dagen op de boot met Jeni en zijn crew door het beschermd jungle gebied op Kalimantan. Wat een ongelooflijke ervaring is dit geweest. Ik kan het iedereen aanraden, hier moet je echt eens in je leven geweest zijn. Het was een echte wildlive ervaring dus geen mobiele telefoon, geen verkeer..alleen maar jungle gebied en leven op een boot in het water. Jeni en zijn crew zorgen er echt voor dat je een paar onvergetelijke dagen hebt. Het eten is verrukkelijk en je hebt, als je dat wilt, je privacy momenten op het dek. Ik koos er zelf voor om merendeels met Jeni en zijn crew mee te eten want dat was erg gezellig ;-).
ReplyDeleteVerder hebben we inderdaad allerlei apensoorten kunnen bewonderen..ongelooflijk..zo mooi. De ochtenden vond ik het meest bijzonder, dat je dan op het dek wakker wordt en overal apen en vogelgeluiden hoort. En de avonden dat het donker begon te worden waren erg mysterieus omdat Jeni bepaalde vogelgeluiden kon nadoen waardoor vogels in de duisternis reageerden..echt super gaaf en spannend om dit mee te maken! Dus mocht je deze reis overwegen, doe het, je krijgt er geen spijt van!

Assolutamente da sconsigliare, prenotato un tour privato da 3d/2n il 13 aprile 2018 per luglio 2018, una settimana prima del nostro arrivo e solo perché lo abbiamo contattato noi, jenie subaru ha il coraggio di dirci che non ha barche diponibili per noi e che faremo un tour condiviso, poi sparisce nel nulla e non risponde alle nostre continue mail. Arriviamo il 22 luglio senza sapere se ci sarebbe stata una barca, fanno pick up in aeroporto, ci portano alla barca e ci fanno aspettare due ore e mezza sotto il sole in attesa che arrivino gli altri clienti. Dopo 3 ore e spazientiti, ci dicono che non arriverà nessuno e che siamo fortunati ad avere una barca privata, pretendendo il costo originario di 3 milioni e mezzo di rupie a persona e senza nemmeno scusarsi. Ciliegina sulla torta la nostra guida era totalmente inesperta non sapeva che due o tre parole in inglese e NESSUNA CONOSCENZA DEGLI ORANGHI!!! Unica nota positiva la cuoca eccezionale. Jenie subaru deve solo rigraziare che il parco nazionale è fantastico e ti fa dimenticare tutte le cose negative accadute ma davvero non lo consiglio a nessuno!! Grande cantonata della lonely planet! !
ReplyDeleteSi tuviera que volver a ir al Parque Nacional a ver los orangutanes, jamás repetiria con esta compañia. Muy mejorable. Lo cogimos porque amigos lo reocomendaron y una vez allí, nadie nos fue a buscar a el aeropuerto. Un poco más tarde, aparece su hermana, y nos dice que ahora viene Jenie, que está viniendo. Mentira. Al rato llega un taxi que nos lleva a un embarcadero y nos tienen alli 4 HORAS esperando, sin darnos ninguna explicación porque nadie hablaba en inglés . Cuando conseguimos irnos, nos ponen 4 botes medio llenos de agua, para usarlos de cantimplora. Y no nos dieron agua fría en todo el tour. Con un calor.... ah! y no llevábamos guía, ibamos con un un chaval de 20 años que solo sabía decir buenos días. No recomendaría ir con esta compañía aunque he de decir, que la tripulación era super agradable.
ReplyDeleteWe did a two day trip, one night sleeping on the boat. I must admit I was quite nervous about the trip. It was my partner who had chosen to do it. However, It was an I credible experience. I felt safe, secure and comfortable at all times.
ReplyDeleteFood:plentiful, tasty food-we were never hungry! Also snacks and mineral water provided in between. The only critique I'd have is that a refillable water supply would be better for the environment as we went through a lot of plastic bottles.
I felt that the crew anticipated needs all the time.
Staff: attentive, friendly, polite, could tell they enjoyed their work
The guide: great English speaker, caring, kind, organised, good knowledge of surrounding wildlife. A trail blazer for women guides! Go girl. We felt very comfortable being two women travelling alone with a female guide.
Living Arrangements : comfortable mattress in the deck with large mosquito net and blankets.
Toilet basic but good, always clean. Basic shower.
Take LOTS of bug spray! So many mosquitos! Not on the boat but mostly in the forest and when watching on the feeding platforms. I was bitten 23 times.
Orangutans:
We moored up on three research/ feeding stations where we walked to the feeding platform for about 30 min.
We then stayed by the feeding station quietly for up to 2 hours, which is about 5metres away from the platform which the rangers put out bananas and milk for them.
The orangutans in Tan Jun Puting National Park are semi wild, ex captive orangutans. They're no longer released here but the ex captives continue to thrive. They don't rely on the feeding of bananas by the rangers, they get their own food from fruits and termites but there are set times that they are fed, to attract them to the viewing platform for visitors to see.
We were so lucky to see the alpha male orangutan, Terry, at camp leaky! Several females and their babies and a very cheeky macquae! We also saw wild boar family and a black squirrel type animal on the forest floor scooping up the left overs!
We saw amazing butterflies everywhere!
At night we went on a night trek in the forest where we saw smoking spores from the trees, emitting a mushroom earthy smell, tarantulas, a mouse deer, learned about a plant that helps with the treatment of malaria and saw glow in the dark mushrooms!!
We went to bed under our net and it was a really good night's sleep. Much better than I had expected. The rainforest is noisy, teaming with cicadas and bird and frog noises but strangely hypnotic.
On our way from the final feeding station the final day, we saw
Proboscis monkeys (of which only 1000 are known to remain in the wild) playing in the trees by the Riverside. I caught a glimpse of a monitor lizard too through the trees on the river!
On the way back after candle lit dinner we saw fire flies in the trees- it was like a Xmas tree with fairy lights! We definitely saw a crocodiles head lurking above the water too at one point!
In between all the wildlife spotting we snoozed on the deck whilst watching the world go by and enjoying the river breeze.
This is a truly unforgettable experience and a great way to experience the borneo rainforest and see the wildlife before it becomes extinct.
We greatly support the work that jenie subaru does for the orangutan and its habitat and hope that visitors continue to visit and support this venture for many years to come.

Interesting experiences with orangutan Kalimantan. The scenery and the wildlife are awesome. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMy wife adult son and I did the tour back in 2018. It was awsome and great fun. The staff really takes care of you. Please book with this company...
ReplyDeleteThe most impressive tour I've ever made, with a Klotok through Tanjung Putting to see all this beautiful nature and animals, including a night hike and excellent food.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to spent my money for this as I can be sure it will be used for good things, and still support whenever I can with some donation.
It is my best example that tourism can help to preserve our world with its amazing places!
The greatest and most impressive tour I've ever made. Beautiful spots, animals, night hike and we enjoyed excellent food on the Klotok.
ReplyDeleteJenny and his team are my best example that tourism can help to preserve our nature with all such amazing places like Tanjung Putting, and I'm happy to support this whenever I can with some donation.

Guys you are a blast. Adi the best guide, crew super sweet, the captain did not kill us and a special mention to the cook!!! These people leave their homes for half a year so we can enjoy real experiences. We had the best three days in Indonesia thanks to you. Slept like babies, had super exciting experiences in the forest and ate like kings and queens. Orang utan, macacs, fireflies, and crocodiles, what else could we ask for? We are happy some dedicate their life to protect the little nature there is left. Do not doubt it. Best thing we have done so far. Btw, do not forget a tip at the end!!! Terima kasih guys!!! Gemma and Carlos.
ReplyDeleteWe loved this trip and cannot say enough about it. It was spectacular. The boat and crew were amazing. Iman was our guide and he was over the top knowledgeable about so many things but especially birds and the orangutans. We saw so many orangutans, both wild and rehab animals. The jungle walks at night were absolutely amazing. We highly recommend those. The food was fantastic, Hanni our chef was the best!! Jenie the owner of the company was extremely thorough and responsive. He does an incredible job of organizing these trips. I would highly recommend this tour operator.
ReplyDeleteWe were on tour with Jenie‘s team in May 2023. Iman was a great guide. We saw already at the first evening a group of Dutch Monkeys moving along the river, what was really amazing! Seeing Orang Utan was one of the best experiences we ever had. We appreciate there are people like Jenie and his team, taking care for them and sharing the experience to see Orang Utan in nature with people like us. We loved the time on the Klotok and the nights in the Jungle. Why did we chose Jeanie? We were afraid, the raintime is still not finished. On my question „Is it raining every day?“ Jenie answered: „Well, yes. That‘s why we call it rainforrest!“. Save the Orang Utan! Take care for nature! Avoid palmtree products! We highly recommend Jenie for the tour!
ReplyDeleteAn incredible experience! Jennie and her family are very nice. Sandy was our guide and we got to see many organutans and other monkeys, two crocodiles and other animals. The experience in the klotok is precious and highly recommended. The food that Jennie and Sandy's aunt made us was delicious. I would recommend doing this tour with them!!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a brutal experience, Jenny's entire team and especially the wonderful guide Deny have been great. We have loved the experience of living on the boat and seeing so much fauna in this way. The deal with Jeny from the beginning was great. Congratulations on the good work and the care with which they do it
ReplyDeleteIch schreibe jetzt einfach mal auf Deutsch. Es gibt sicher viele deutsch-sprachige Interessenten und für den Rest gibt es Google Translate.
ReplyDeleteDie Orang-Utan-Tour mit Jenie als Organisator war für meine Freundin und mich einfach perfekt.
Im Einzelnen:
Organisation:
Jenie hat alles perfekt organisiert und es hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Leider konnte Jenie uns nicht selbst am Flughafen Pangkalan Bun empfangen, aber sein Cousin und unser Guide Sandy hat das gleich übernommen und uns in ein bereit stehendes Taxi nach Kumai gesetzt. In Kumai hat sich Sandy gleich um uns und unser Gepäck gekümmert, uns auf unser Klotok gebracht und zum nächst-gelegenen ATM zwecks Bargeldabhebung geführt. Sandy hat uns dann auch gleich noch die ganze Tour erklärt und uns darauf eingestimmt.
Bootsfahrt:
Wenige Stunden später ging es los in den Nationalpark. Wir haben am ersten Tag gleich noch die erste Fütterungsstation angesteuert. Die Fahrt mit dem Klotok ist sehr entspannend. Wir hatten das Oberdeck ganz für uns allein, die Besatzung mit Guide Sandy, Köchin Hami, Kapitän und Helfer, deren Namen in mir nicht merken konnte, haben sich im unteren Deck aufgehalten.
Die beiden Nächte auf dem offenen Boot unter dem Moskitonetz waren himmlisch. Man schläft ein und erwacht mit dem Sound des Dschungels und ist praktisch in freier Natur.
Touren:
Wir haben unter der Leitung von Sandy drei Fütterungs-Stationen der Orang-Utans besucht und eine nächtliche Tour durch den Dschungel unternommen. Es war heiß ohne Ende, hat auch mal wie aus Kübeln gegossen, aber es war ein unvergessliches und uneingeschränkt zu empfehlendes Erlebnis.
Tiere:
Wir haben - natürlich - Orang-Utans, Nasenaffen, Makaken, Schlangen, Vögel und jede Menge Insekten und Glühwürmchen gesehen. Leider waren die Krokodile zu schüchtern und vom Motorengeräusch der vielen Boote zur Hauptsaison abgeschreckt, so dass wir keines beobachten konnten.
Essen:
Ein ganz besonderes Extra-Lob sei hier Hami, unserer Köchin ausgesprochen! Wie man zum Frühstück, Mittag und Abendessen in so einer kleinen Küche immer ein derartiges Festmahl zaubern kann, ist schon etwas ganz besonderes. Es war immer ein Augen- und Gaumenschmaus.
Bootsausstattung:
Neben dem kompletten oberen Deck mit Bett, Tisch und Stühlen und viel Platz für unser Gepäck war für uns auch eine Toilette und eine Dusche verfügbar und wir hatten immer das Gefühl, dass wir erste Benutzungspriorität hatten. Das Abwasser geht wohl direkt in den Fluss, aber wir trauen es dem Fluss zu, dass er das verdauen und verkraften kann.
Resumee:
Ein unvergessliches und einmaliges Erlebnis.
Vielen Dank nochmal an Jenie und sein Team!
