Kalimantan Explorer dive boat review

The Kalimantan Explorer is a traditionally crafted vessel operating as a cultural liveaboard in the Tanjung Puting National Park, Indonesia. The 19 meters traditional klotok (boat) was built in 2008 and completely upgraded in November 2011.

.

Boat Cabins & Layout

The Kalimantan Explorer welcomes a maximum of 5 guests on-board in two very unique cabins. Indeed, it’s a more private cruise with the whole boat available for a small group of friends or a family. First, the main cabin is large and features a double bed plus a single bed, for a 2 or 3 guests occupancy. Secondly, the other cabin is the Solaria Tent, which is used as a cabin at night, located on the very top deck. It sure is perfect for those nature lovers who want to enjoy every sunrise and sunsets! See the pictures below for a better idea of how the cabin, and especially the tent cabin looks like.

The main areas on the Kalimantan Explorer are open-air spaces that can be closed-up when needed. Indeed, the lounging area is located on the top deck and adjacent to the Solaria tent cabin. The dining area is also there, which allows a stunning view of Indonesia from up there. Moreover, the boat has a full crew on-board, which includes a chef. Indeed, you’ll be served hearty meals and snacks all day so you have all the energy needed to explore!
