Borneo, one of the largest islands in the world, offers extraordinary natural beauty with stunning exotic destinations. From rainforests rich in flora and fauna to charming white sandy beaches, Borneo is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers. If you’re looking to explore pristine natural wonders, here are some must-visit destinations for your travel list.

1. Lake Sentarum, West Kalimantan

Lake Sentarum is a unique wetland area that serves as a habitat for various species of rare fish and birds. During the rainy season, this area transforms into a vast lake, while in the dry season, the water recedes, revealing fascinating marshlands to explore. You can visit the lake using a traditional boat while enjoying its untouched natural beauty.

2. Derawan Island, East Kalimantan

Derawan Island is a dream destination for ocean lovers. Its crystal-clear waters and rich marine biodiversity make it one of Indonesia's best snorkeling and diving spots. You can swim with stingless jellyfish in Kakaban Lake or watch green turtles lay eggs on Sangalaki Island.

3. Tanjung Puting National Park, Central Kalimantan

For those wanting to see orangutans in their natural habitat, Tanjung Puting National Park is the perfect place. Aboard a klotok (traditional wooden boat), you can cruise along the Sekonyer River and visit Camp Leakey, a well-known orangutan rehabilitation center.

4. Kelam Hill, West Kalimantan

Kelam Hill is known as one of the largest monolithic rocks in the world. The hike to the summit offers a challenging adventure, but the breathtaking view from the top is well worth the effort. For adventure seekers, this place provides thrilling trekking routes and spectacular natural scenery.

5. Mahakam River, East Kalimantan

The Mahakam River serves as the lifeline of East Kalimantan communities and can be explored via a river cruise. Along the journey, you can witness the life of the Dayak tribe, traditional stilt houses of Kalimantan, and even spot the rare freshwater dolphins known as Pesut Mahakam.
