Description:
Kumai is a port town in Central Kalimantan province and is a gateway to Indonesian Borneo’s gold mines and timber forests. It lies about 10NM from the Kumai River entrance.
Cruiser Highlights:
This is the best place to arrange a tour of the Tanjung Puting National Park, an important conservation area because it preserves the endangered species of Orangutan (Pongo Pygmeus) known to live on only two islands: Sumatra and Indonesia Borneo. See Kumai/Shore Services/Activities for more information.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
If arriving at night, there is an anchorage in Kumai Bay. Visibility can be poor here and there is an abundance of fishing boats to watch out for, which tend only to be lit by small red flashing LED lights. There are also uncharted fish traps outside the river entrance. A daylight entrance is recommended.
Position:
02° 54'21"S, 111° 43'35"E (Kumai bay)
