Note
Please note: This tour is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties as it requires an extensive amount of trekking for about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers), over uneven and natural terrain with some elevation. Walking shoes, light comfortable clothing (with long trousers), bug spray, and sunscreen are recommended. Orangutans sights are common but not guaranteed. Local conditions may be challenging, therefore we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit these unique, and somewhat remote destinations. Guides and transport are the best available in the area.
