Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Banjarmasin. Board a boat and set off for Pulau Bakut, a small island in the Barito River, known for its population of proboscis monkeys.

As you approach the island, the boat engine is turned off to minimize noise, allowing you to quietly observe these shy and timid creatures. Use binoculars to get a closer look at the monkeys from a distance, watching as they move through the trees.

Learn about the unique characteristics of the proboscis monkey, including the males' distinctive large noses, which are used to attract females. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the chance to see these rare animals in their natural habitat.
