The Kapuas River in West Kalimantan is not only the longest river in Indonesia but also the heart of an unforgettable Borneo River Adventure. Stretching 1,143 kilometers from the Muller Mountains to the South China Sea, the Kapuas offers travelers a chance to explore remote villages, pristine rainforests, and the living traditions of the Dayak people.
This journey takes you deep into Borneo’s untouched wilderness, where rare wildlife such as hornbills and freshwater dolphins thrive along the riverbanks. Along the way, you’ll discover traditional longhouses, experience communal living, and learn about Dayak rituals that have been preserved for centuries.
Traveling the Kapuas River is both a cultural encounter and a natural exploration. With every bend of the river, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes, from dense forests to peaceful villages accessible only by boat.
