Well worth the visit

The sun bears are in the same area as the Orangutan Islands. Both places are definitely worth the visit. In fact we flew to Balikpapan to stay at the Lodge and see the Orangutans and Sun bears and we weren't disappointed. It is amazing to see the work the BOS is doing to save both species. Great place to support!

    Such an Amazing Experience
    This place is one of my favorite places, it provides a lot of things and knowledge that can be obtained, even though it takes about an hour to get to this place. Sun bears are protected animals in this place, when we arrive we will be directed by their guides to see everything. From sun bears until flora and fauna information centers. In this place they also provide a souvenir center, dining area, flower gardens, playgrounds, and a lamin house that can be used for documentary film shows, educational panel appearances, and other events. One of the most enjoyable things is we can see directly the sun bear doing their activities such as eat, roam around, and even sleep. If I had another chance to visit this place after this pandemic I would spend more time enjoying their amazing places and explore more about sun bears. I recommend you to visit this place in the morning or evening. based on my own experience, at that time I went in the middle of the day so it made me feel hotter and drained a lot of energy to explore this place. You must visit this place! And share your experience.

    What a pleasant place for education
    This tourist attraction is very fun but not just a fun place but there was a lot of information that can educate us. In this place there was so many of information that u can see wherever you are, which is it’s good so beside we can see the animal we also can learn something new and get more knowledge. Although i had visited this place when i was in kindergarten but i still remember how this place looked like because it’s so memorable and I really enjoyed. If we visit this place of course we want to see the sun bear and we can see the sun bear at a considerable distance but we still can see the sun bear clearly but there also place for people can see directly the sun bear and the guides who will help us to see everything in this place. Beside a place where we can see the sun bear they also have another place such as souvenir center, play ground, dining area, and a lamin house. This is a fun place and if i can get a chance to visit this place again then I would like to visit.
