5 DAYS INDONESIA BORNEO PHOTO TOUR
KALIMANTAN - BORNEO.
Wildlife, Landscape & Culture
5 days. 9th - 13th July 2024
Early Booking €450*
Occupying three-quarters of Borneo, the third largest island in the world, the Indonesian province of Kalimantan is an adventure in every sense of the word. Remote jungle, snaking rivers and interior mountains serve up endless opportunities for exploration.
No trip to Kalimantan would be complete without glimpsing the orangutans in the wild. This is the best place in the world to see the noble orang-utan sharing the remaining jungle canopy with acrobatic gibbons and proboscis monkeys.
Independent travelling in a small group of up to seven participants. A great way to bond with other like-minded travel photographers!
* Usual fee €550. Early booking before 20th April 2024.

Enjoy!
This is an add-on to the Java-Bali Photography Travel workshop and tour.
The Borneo photography workshop tour is open to most levels of photography experience and physical condition. We will wake up rather early (oh god....!). This is when we have the best light and less crowd. However, don't forget that you can always take a siesta during the day!
Needless to say, you'll get better deals for summer the earlier you book your flights and hotels.

I believe in transparency and accessibility to the tours. Each of us have personal budgets, different comfort expectations but a common goal of travel photography and great images. Over 14 days, through the workshops and tours, we will explore many photography techniques, improve your photography skills along the way while working together.
Apart from the personal attention you'll be receiving, you will have your own free time. There will be opportunities as well to share costs with fellow photographers to do other activities not included (optional excursions).
The most important components of the tour are already included.
Tour participant's profile
- You are a free independent traveller with a lust for adventure and photography. You are capable of making your own accommodation arrangements at each location. Everything else is taken care of. Relax and enjoy yourself.
- You believe in mindfulness photography, not mindless photography (as in shooting everything you see and tons of selfies) ;-)
- Minimise the use of plastics.
- Bummer..... You should have some basic knowledge about photography, understand exposure and handling your camera. If you are not a photographer, you can follow our schedule.
- Another one....Wake up early. It will be easy! You will love to greet the morning sun in its glory in the middle of nowhere! Photography is more important than sleep! Remember, you have the day to take a siesta and at the end of the tour, extend your stay and wake up at your leisure.
- This is NOT a luxury tour. The facilities on the boat are limited but comfortable and not cramped. You will have individual open air make shift beds on the deck, individual mosquito nets, cold showers, delicious food (vegetarian option available), always fresh fruits, limited electricity (charging of batteries is possible), use soap sparingly so as not to pollute the rivers that animals drink from.
- At appropriate times, no music should be played so everyone can appreciate the sound of silence and of the nature!
- You are easy going, enjoy meeting people and making new friends. We are a small group of up to 7 photographers and I want everyone to have an a wonderful time with me.
- Like me, you are passionate about travel photography and wish to get amazing photos and not snap shots!
- You can join me for morning meditation when the opportunity arises!
