Samarinda

Located on the banks of the majestic Mahakam River, Samarinda is the vibrant gateway to exploring the natural and cultural wonders of East Kalimantan. While known as the province's capital, the city's true charm lies in its connection to the river, local traditions, and the adventures waiting beyond its streets.

With Dennis Tigang, Samarinda becomes more than just the beginning of your journey—it becomes part of the experience itself. Wander through lively riverside markets, enjoy authentic local flavors, watch daily life unfold along the Mahakam River, and discover hidden corners that most visitors never see. From your very first day, you'll gain a genuine connection with the people, culture, and atmosphere of Borneo before continuing deeper into its rainforests, wildlife, and remote villages.
