PRESS RELEASE

NEW FLIGHTS TO TAKE YOU DIRECT TO THE HEART OF BORNEO

Palangkaraya 25 May 2010 -

Indonesia’s Borneo, known as Kalimantan – is now easier than ever with Lion Air’s new flights.

Weekends from Singapore are now possible and what better way to escape the Metropolis than to head for the primal experience that only this part of Borneo can offer.

Kalimantan Tour Destinations introduce their unique Rahai'i Pangun Jungle River Cruise in Central Kalimantan, a pioneering eco cruise in the heart of raw Borneo where rivers remain the highways.

The Rahai’i Pangun offers guests a comfortable and safe journey, which engages with villagers en route and supports local communities develop alternative livelihoods. Passing by emerald green river islands now home to rehabilitated orangutans made famous by Animal Planet’s Orangutan Island.

Imagine sitting on a comfortable chair, eating a delicious meal, and watching orangutans peacefully in their natural environment. Knowing that by being here you are supporting the growth of eco tourism that will impact on the conservation of this rare animals' habitat.

Operating now for 2 years and already doubling our occupancy, our cruise has recently hosted amongst other well known dignitaries, Henrik, HRH Prince Consort of Denmark, and Harry Jenkins. Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Australian Parliament.

We differentiate ourselves from the already well known Tanjung Puting National Park, by being able to offer comfort and a well rounded cultural as well as nature experience.

Adding on to our boat cruises; we have a range of Longhouse Tours and other jungle adventures, including speedboat safaris and simple village Homestays. We are able to tailor design tours for guests who want an individual service focused upon particular interests.
