Cruising the Seikonyer River

Step aboard your private riverboat from the elegance of SEQUOIA and journey deep into Tanjung Puting National Park a place where rainforest and mangrove intertwine in a wild, living labyrinth. On this luxury Borneo yacht expedition, glide along the inky waters of the “black river”, where macaques bound through the branches, kingfishers dart in flashes of electric blue, and the curious proboscis monkeys laze high in the treetops.

Encounters with the Great Red Ape

At Camp Leakey, one of Borneo’s leading orangutan research and rehabilitation centres, you’ll gain a rare insight into the intelligence and emotion of these remarkable apes during your orangutan safari experience. Guided by expert conservationists, watch mothers cradle their infants, youngsters tumble playfully through the branches, and the great males emerge from the forest with quiet, commanding presence. It’s an encounter that leaves a lasting impression, a glimpse into a world few ever see.

Moments of Stillness on the River

As night falls over Tanjung Puting’s blackwater rivers, the mangroves glow with fireflies while frogs and cicadas create a low, rhythmic chorus beneath the forest canopy. It’s a quiet, spellbinding moment in your Borneo yacht expedition, the rainforest alive around you, yet perfectly still. Aboard SEQUOIA, handcrafted teak and attentive crew ensure comfort without intruding on the raw beauty of this remote landscape.

Elevate Your Journey: The Datai Langkawi

For those seeking to extend their Borneo luxury yacht expedition, we recommend combining your journey with a stay at The Datai Langkawi, a serene retreat where rainforest meets the Andaman Sea. Nestled between ancient jungle and white-sand beaches, this award-winning resort offers elegant villas, world-class dining, and holistic wellness surrounded by nature.

Slow down and reconnect with the world around you. Float in turquoise waters, dine among the treetops, or join marine conservation workshops through The Datai Pledge sustainability initiative. After days of exploration, this is a place to unwind, reflect, and stay close to nature in complete comfort.
