Tanjung Puting Canopy River Lodges

Immerse yourself in the heart of Central Kalimantan’s wild eco-sanctuary, where ancient riverways and protected rainforests create a serene backdrop for wildlife exploration. Settled along the tranquil, amber waters of the Sekonyer River—surrounded by dense peat-swamp forests, towering ironwood trees, and the calls of native wildlife—these riverside lodges offer a peaceful escape into one of the world’s most vibrant tropical ecosystems. Designed for nature enthusiasts and wildlife lovers, the retreat steps away from crowded mainland tourism, offering a slow-paced, eco-conscious stay deeply tied to Kalimantan’s natural wilderness.

The architecture of each lodge is built with sustainable, elevated ironwood structures and traditional thatched roofing that blend harmoniously with the surrounding canopy. Raised high off the forest floor to minimize environmental impact and catch cool river breezes, the lodges feature open-air verandas and large mesh-screened windows that bring the sights and sounds of the jungle directly into your living space. Handcrafted wooden furniture, soft cotton linens, and warm lantern lighting fill the interior, creating a cozy, low-impact haven that offers complete comfort in the middle of the wild.

Daily life revolves around gentle river exploration and unforgettable wildlife encounters. Guests can embark on quiet solar-powered boat trips down winding river tributaries to observe wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and exotic hornbills in their natural habitat alongside experienced local rangers. Returning to the lodge at dusk, guests are treated to traditional Kalimantan home-style meals served on the riverside deck, where fresh local ingredients and fragrant jungle herbs are enjoyed under a canopy of stars and flickering fireflies.
