点评:My wife and I booked with Jenie Subaru to see the Orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park. As we are both wildlife biologists, we had asked specifically for a guide that knew their natural history and able to ID the animals seen. Deny ended up being our guide (@orangudeny) and we couldn't have ask for anyone better. He knew his plants, mammals, insects, birds and pretty much everything else we saw in on our boat trip.
Details:
The boat is very basic. Pretty much a bed with a mosquito net hanging over it. There is a solar panel charge cameras and power a fan, but not much else. It was my wife and I, our guide Deny, two boat captains and the chef. While basic, I was never uncomfortable, the bathroom was clean, food delicious and we felt very well cared for. We saw everything we had hoped to see and more. Orangutans (including a fully wild one), 3 species of ape, pit vipers, a tarsier, vampire bat, super cool insects and multiple species of kingfisher. The food was also INCREDIBLE. It turned out the chef was Deny's mom, so for 3 days we were basically just getting home cooked Indonesian food. Each meal was an absolute feast that featured a fruit or specific dish that we had never had. I can not stress enough how good the cooking was, and it is not an exaggeration to say it was the best food we had all month.
While there are other tour groups that have newer boats with more amenities, I would go with Jenie over anyone else. The service they provided and the fact that the money goes to help conserve and protect land from oil plantation development more than makes up for the lack of anything else. A truly 10/10 experience that I've thought about every day since we left.
翻译:我和妻子通过Jenie Subaru预订了丹戎普丁国家公园的猩猩观赏之旅。由于我们都是野生动物生物学家,所以我们特别要求一位了解猩猩自然史并能识别所见动物的向导。最终,我们的向导是Deny(@orangudeny),我们觉得他真是太棒了。他对植物、哺乳动物、昆虫、鸟类以及我们在乘船游览过程中看到的几乎所有其他动物都了如指掌。
详情:
船很简陋,基本上就是一张挂着蚊帐的床。船上有一个太阳能电池板,可以给相机充电并驱动风扇,但除此之外就没什么了。船上有我和妻子、我们的向导Deny、两位船长和一位厨师。虽然条件简陋,但我感觉很舒适,卫生间很干净,食物也很美味,我们感觉受到了很好的照顾。我们看到了所有想看的动物,甚至更多。我们看到了猩猩(包括一只完全野生的)、三种猿类、响尾蛇、眼镜猴、吸血蝙蝠、各种各样超酷的昆虫以及多种翠鸟。食物也棒极了!原来厨师是丹尼的妈妈,所以接下来的三天,我们基本上都在吃印尼家常菜。每一餐都是一场盛宴,都会用到我们从未尝过的水果或特色菜。我简直无法用语言形容那里的厨艺有多好,毫不夸张地说,这是我们整个月吃过的最棒的食物。
虽然其他旅行团的船更新,设施也更齐全,但我还是会选择珍妮的旅行团。他们提供的服务以及所有收入都用于保护土地免受油田开发破坏,足以弥补其他方面的不足。这是一次绝对满分的体验,自从离开后,我每天都在回味。
