WOW Borneo Kumai
Ship Overview
Operated by: WOW Borneo
WOW Borneo’s newest boat, the six-passenger, 19-metre Kumai was originally a fishing boat but has now been remodelled to offer true small ship expedition cruises into the orangutan-rich Tanjung Puting National Park in Indonesia Borneo. Named after the river it operates from, Kumai's cabins are the Superior Large with a small terrace on the bow, a Double Cabin, and a Twin cabin. The deck has plenty of space to enjoy the river views from the comfort of rattan sofas and sun lounges, ideal to spot orangutans and proboscis monkeys high in the forest canopy. This boat has all of the features which set WOW Borneo apart from the others – air-conditioned cabins powered by solar panels, en suite in each cabin, spacious unimpeded viewing decks, and great food. Cruises are accompanied by three crew and an English-speaking guide.
The cabins are fitted with inner-spring mattresses, reading lights, sheets, pillows, bedcovers, towels, and basic toiletries. The cabin windows have mosquito netting and sliding shutters for privacy. Cameras and phones can be charged on board, and the viewing deck and all cabins have sockets. The deck has waterproof blinds with clear inserts for rainy periods.
