Pioneering small-ship expedition cruise company Heritage Expeditions has released a brand-new voyage exploring the wilds of Indonesia and Borneo, including a visit to renowned Orangutan rehabilitation centre Camp Leakey.

The family-owned and operated cruise company's Commercial Director and Expedition Leader Aaron Russ said the new 14-day voyage, Indonesia’s Forgotten Islands, had been carefully curated to celebrate both the incredible diversity and ancient customs and traditions of Indonesia’s remote islands.

“This really is an authentic expedition experience, we’ll be sailing well-off traditional tourist routes to experience some of Southeast Asia’s most captivating and rarely-seen wonders,” he said.

Sailing from Darwin to Singapore, highlights of Indonesia’s Forgotten Islands include walking with Komodo Dragons, snorkelling world-famous Pink Beach and visiting world-renowned research facility and Orangutan rehabilitation centre Camp Leakey.

Guests will also have the opportunity to snorkel some of the world’s most pristine reefs, he said, and explore rarely visited jungles looking for Proboscis Monkeys, Tarsiers, elusive Clouded Leopards and Sun Bears, East Javan Langur, Giant Squirrel and the hundreds of species of birdlife calling these islands home including the recently rediscovered Wetar Ground Dove, one of the world’s most elusive birds.

With Indonesia’s human history dating back almost 2 million years, guests will also be privy to experience ancient customs and thrilling cultural exchanges including meeting the Lamalerans, one of Indonesia’s last subsistence whaling communities on Lembata Island, and experiencing the unique tradition and practice of Water Buffalo racing on Sumbawa Island.

Then there were the geographical highlights with guests visiting Kelimutu National Park to experience its famed trifecta of coloured ‘boiling lakes’, all named Kelimutu, and Satonda Island’s jungles and crater lake - one of Indonesia’s most underrated and least-visited treasures.

“There really is something for everyone on this voyage, and we can’t wait to share this special part of the world with our guests on this incredible adventure."
