Trip by motorized canoe with a capacity for 3-4 passengers to Punggualas in the Sebangau National Park as one of the best peat swamp forest. Depending on the water level, we may need to walk more or less to reach the camp. In low water conditions, we need take a walk from the Punggualas estuary to forest camp. However, during the rainy season, the canoe can sometimes take us directly to the camp and accompanied by a local guide and porter service. Observe wildlife such as birds, lizards, otters, among others. Another way to explore Sebangau National Park, take a small local boat or klotok to the Koran River the closest border of the park. There is a boardwalk to enjoy the forest where if lucky you can see wild orangutan, or climb the observation tower to enjoy the scenery and watch many species of birds.
