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.
