Travel with Confidence. Explore with Care.

Conditions vary by date, wind direction, and specific park sector. While firefighting and containment efforts are active in parts of Central Kalimantan and Tanjung Puting, not every route or departure date is affected in the same way. We assess each planned departure individually against official data and direct reports from our boat crews and park guides.

Smoke or localized fire activity can influence visibility, air quality, and access to specific forest trails or feeding stations. Our assessments examine whether we can deliver a safe, comfortable, and rewarding wildlife and reforestation experience—including our visits to Tanjung Harapan, Camp Leakey, and Friends of Nature, People and Forest (FNPF) at Jerumbun, where we are one of the few who visit.

We monitor BMKG air-quality updates and on-river visibility reports from our local captains and guides. If air quality or smoke reaches levels that compromise guest health, comfort, or river navigation safety, we will not operate the affected route as planned and will contact you to review appropriate alternatives.

If our operational review determines that your itinerary cannot reasonably meet our standards for safety, wellbeing, and travel quality, we will contact you directly to discuss verified alternatives. Depending on the situation, these may include route or timing adjustments, rescheduling to new dates, or other options consistent with your booking agreement.

Under our standard booking terms, reservations require a 30% deposit upon confirmation and the 70% balance 30 days before travel. Date changes are permitted up to 45 days before travel, and within 45 days are handled on a best-effort basis subject to boat, guide, and operational availability. If TRB must suspend or modify an itinerary due to unsafe local wildfire conditions, we work directly with you on rescheduling or applicable booking remedies.

Yes. We conduct destination-specific reviews leading up to your departure—including checks at 14 days and 72–48 hours prior to boarding—and communicate directly with booked guests whenever there are material updates or operational considerations.

There is no need to wait to plan or enquire for future travel seasons. Private klotok availability for small groups (maximum 8 guests) is limited, and planning ahead allows us to reserve your preferred dates while keeping you updated on local conditions.

No. Borneo is the third-largest island in the world, and fire or smoke activity is localized to specific areas and shifts with rainfall and wind patterns. We assess conditions specifically for Kumai, Pangkalan Bun, the Sekonyer River, and Tanjung Puting National Park rather than treating the entire island as a single travel situation.

Responsible tourism means putting guest wellbeing, local crew safety, and forest conservation ahead of short-term commercial pressure. Every expedition supports local livelihoods in Sekonyer village and habitat restoration with Friends of Nature, People and Forest (FNPF) at the Jerumbun reforestation site, while strictly following National Park guidance.
