Houseboat Tours

Drift silently through Tanjung Puting and the mighty Mahakam River aboard private two-deck wooden houseboats, sleeping under the equatorial stars enveloped by the symphony of the jungle.

Life Aboard a Private Wooden Klotok

The traditional Indonesian klotok is named after the gentle 'klok-tok-tok' cadence of its diesel engine. Traveling by private houseboat allows you to become part of the river ecosystem.

Starlit Open-Air Upper Deck

During the day, the upper deck is your panoramic lounge. At night, comfortable mattresses with fresh cotton linens and mosquito netting create an unforgettable sleeping experience under the stars.

Dedicated Onboard Chef

Indulge in freshly prepared meals cooked right on the boat: fresh river fish, Indonesian curries, fresh tropical fruit, and options for vegetarian or gluten-free diets.

Private Bathroom Facilities

Equipped with clean Western-style flush toilets and showers on the lower deck.
