Kayan River Adventure Tours
The Kayan Rivers ecological wealth and cultural treasures
survive
deep within the rainforest jungle of Indonesia ’s largest
island. Kalimantan ’s dense jungle and wide terrain
of wetlands have traditionally kept the region isolated from all but
the adventurous travelers, and along the upper reaches of the Kayan and
Bahau rivers, you can discover the rich Dayak Kayan Culture. The
indigenous Dayak settlements along the Kayan and Bahau Rivers of East
Kalimantan is an ideal way to experience the incredible Dayak culture,
where village elders practice traditional medicine and mark their
status with intricate body tattoos and remarkably heavy ear adornments,
we will be warmly welcomed guests in their traditional
longhouses. At Borneo you can enjoy a sightful experience of
traditional Dayak culture and grand diversity of exotic flora and
wildlife from black orchids to fresh water dolphins and orangutans, and
venture ashore for captivating jungle explorations and unforgettable
encounters in our village visits. Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime
exploration of the Kalimantan Island!
The Kayan River Tour Expeditions are a collection of exploratories and
Indonesia dream destination journeys that reflect the particular
passions and favorite places. We created the Borneo adventure tours for
those who search a indigenous Dayak Culture in the deep dense jungle
with it's exotic flora and fauna. Borneo travelers will have
an unforgettable experience trip in Indonesia,
