Australian travel company Womens Own Adventure have sent their first clients on the Jungle River Cruise and Longhouse trip. Transferring direct from the airport to the Rahai'i Pangun, the two adventurous women made themselves at home in the comfortable cabins for the 5 day journey up the Rungan River. After sighting orangutans, canoeing the lakes and rivers spotting proboscis monkeys, stretching out on the deck sofas, visiting villages and learning the 'welcome dance', Nicki and Kate set off for their 4WD trek, along roads just being built, to the traditional longhouse at Malahoi.

'Hard to beat' was their last appraisal of the trip after their final refreshing night at the Rungan Sari Resort!
