Pangkalan Bun Tours & Activities: Discover Nature & Adventure

Nestled on the riverside in Central Kalimantan, Pangkalan Bun is the gateway to the lush wilds of Borneo. Bursting with natural wonder, visitors come here for unforgettable adventures—spotting orangutans in their natural habitat, drifting down tranquil rivers, and exploring local culture. It’s the perfect launchpad for discovering Indonesia’s wilder side.

A Glimpse into the Past

This riverside town has grown from a small trade hub into a popular base for ecotourism. Its story is shaped by the cultures of the local Dayak people, the rise of river trade, and its connection to the iconic Tanjung Puting National Park—a global focal point for wildlife conservation.

When to Go

The dry season, from April to October, is usually the best time to visit. With sunnier days and less rain, you’ll have smoother river cruises and more comfortable jungle treks. However, the lush scenery and active wildlife make it a worthy stop all year round.

How do I get to Pangkalan Bun?

Most visitors arrive via direct flights from Jakarta, Surabaya, or Semarang. Once at the local airport, it’s just a short transfer to the river cruise docks and nearby hotels.

What wildlife might I see here?

Orangutans are the star attraction, but you may also encounter proboscis monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, and crocodiles—especially inside Tanjung Puting National Park.
