Borneo: the name conjures exotic images of the best types of travel adventure: wild, remote and utterly unique. Kalimantan, which occupies over half of Borneo's landmass, is Indonesia's least visited province, and a wonderful place to explore in the company of a knowledgeable local guide. Arrive in Balikpapan and get ready for adventure on your private East Kalimantan tour!

Your guide can plan a one-day or multi-day excursion from Balikpapan into the heart of Borneo's jungles. Take a boat along the Sesayap River to the vast Kayan Mentarang National Park, where you may spot macaques, gibbons, hornbills and sun bears hidden among the lush foliage. Kutai National Park offers a great chance to see orangutans in the wild. If you're hoping to explore the coast, head to Pulau Derawan, where you can snorkel with sea turtles and manta rays amidst colorful coral.

Your guide will ensure you see why this part of the world has long captured human imagination on your private East Kalimantan tour.
