Duration 6 Days / 5 Nights
Price €400 per person
Group return River tubing

6 days gives you real time to settle into the rhythm of the jungle, trekking further and deeper than the shorter tours reach. You'll spend your days spotting wildlife with Jos — macaques, Thomas leaf monkeys, pig-tailed macaques, and orangutans, with a chance of encountering a large dominant male as well. Each day includes a fresh jungle lunch and fruit snacks, and each night you'll enjoy a cooked dinner and sleep in simple jungle huts with mosquito nets, falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest around you. By the final day, you'll have covered real ground and seen a wide range of what this jungle has to offer. As with the shorter tours, you'll finish by floating back to town down the river on an inner tube. PLACEHOLDER: adjust closing sentence — what makes 6 days the right choice compared to the other lengths?
