Rafting down rivers and rapids with professional adventurer Pata Degerman of Finland, learning jungle survival and flora & fauna from the local tribesmen.
Getting to know the culture of the Dayak people, the infamous "head hunters" of Borneo, enjoying their warm-hearted hospitality.
Highlight of the journey was finding and observing orang-utans in rainforests of Gunung Palung National Park. Too bad the sizeable orange cousins did not really appreciate being observed...
This journey will get covered e.g. through Helsingin Sanomat and Wood magazine.
Enjoy the video below, filmed on speedboat, travelling the mighty Kapuas river (Quicktime format). More videos coming soon.
