Kahayan River Cruise

Kahayan River Cruise is a popular river tourism activity on the Kahayan River in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan. Operating from piers such as Dermaga Flamboyan Bawah and Dermaga Rambang, it uses traditional wooden boats (klotok) to explore the river. The cruise is notable for views of stilt houses, daily river life, and sunset scenery, offering visitors an introduction to the river-based culture of the Dayak Ngaju people.

Visitors can expect a guided boat ride on the wide, brown-water Kahayan River aboard a wooden klotok or motorboat departing from central Palangka Raya piers. The route passes stilt-house settlements along the riverbanks, floating houses, local fishing activity, and the Kahayan Bridge. Sunset cruises are most popular, with open-deck seating, photo opportunities, and commentary from local boat operators about river life and surroundings.
