Sekonyer River Klotok Cruise
Sungai Sekonyer
A two-deck wooden boat takes you deep into the rainforest along the Sekonyer River to see proboscis monkeys, hornbills and fireflies, sleeping on deck overnight. It is the park's signature experience.
The Sekonyer River flows east from Kumai Bay into the national park. In the lower reaches, the banks are lined with palms and nipa mangroves. Further upriver the channel narrows until it reaches a black-water tributary the colour of tea. The klotok wooden boat is the only way to explore the park. The lower deck holds the crew and kitchen, and the upper deck serves as the viewing deck. During the day you eat while watching the riverbanks slide past. In the evening, proboscis monkeys gather in the riverside trees to roost. At night the boat is moored by the bank, and you sleep on deck under mosquito nets, watching fireflies and a sky full of stars. The three-day, two-night trip includes meals and a guide. Book in advance, and confirm that the park entry permit is included.
