Indonesia – Blue Planet Odyssey in Kumai

After Lombok, the BPO participants sailed to Kumai on Kalimantan to see the orangutans’ conservation area. At first it looked like a visit would not be possible due to the uncontrolled mass forest dfires on Borneo but luckily rain did stop the fire in the area (after months of damagesL. All participants did go on a river boat cruise to the different stations. Harry Rustaman is the man to see to get the best boat crew to take you to day or overnight tours: 4 to 6 for overnight/ 8-10 for day tours. The guides were excellent and the crew was great, especially the cook who had fresh and varied local meals prepared so many times a day! Orangutans and other types of monkeys were well worth the visit but so was the boat river trip itself! Filmed in November 2015!
