KATA PENGANTAR

Pariwisata Indonesia adalah pariwisata yang berbasis budaya dengan


menitikberatkan kepada pelestarian sumber daya alam dan budaya
serta mengedepankan keanekaragaman atau ke-bhinekaan sebagai
jati diri bangsa dalam satu bingkai negara kesatuan yaitu Republik
Indonesia. Keragaman ini adalah anugerah yang patut disyukuri dan
menjadi kekuatan dalam menjadikan pariwisata Indonesia sebagai
pariwisata berkelanjutan.

Dalam upaya mewujudkan pariwisata berkelanjutan tersebut wajib


diperhatikan tentang ketersediaan sumber daya manusia pariwisata
yang berkualitas, memiliki kompeten unggul dan professional. Salah
satu elemen penting yang layak dikuasai untuk mencapai kompetensi
tersebut adalah penguasaan bahasa asing utamanya Bahasa Inggris.
Hal ini menjadi sesuatu yang sangat mutlak diperlukan terlebih
dengan telah dicanangkannya pariwisata sebagai salah satu sector
unggulan penopang pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Sementara disisi
lain dengan maraknya globalisasi dunia dan berlakunya Masyarakat
Ekonomi ASEAN menjadikan pasar tenaga kerja pariwisata semakin
terbuka dan kompetitif baik ditingkat nasional maupun regional.

Merespon perkembangan tersebut penerapan penguasaan Bahasa


Inggris bagi generasi muda Indonesia sangat dibutuhkan dan hal
ini dapat dilakukan secara intensif di institusi pendidikan formal
pariwisata ditingkat sekolah menengah melalui SMK Pariwisata.
Merujuk pada Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan, No.
70 th. 2014 Tentang Muatan Lokal Kurikulum 2013 Pasal 4, sekolah
diberikan ruang bagi pengembangan muatan lokal yang diperlukan
termasuk bidang Bahasa asing seperti bahasa Inggris. Pemerintah,
melalui Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi sangat mendukung dengan adanya
inisiatif pendidikan dan pengajaran Bahasa Inggris bagi siswa-siswi
di lingkungan SMK Pariwisata melalui pengembangan muatan lokal
tersebut.

ii
Kami menyambut baik dengan tersusunnya buku English for
Tourism sebagai wujud nyata pengembangan muatan lokal tersebut.
English for Tourism ini disajikan dengan materi yang sesuai dengan
kebutuhan industri pariwisata dan disertai dengan metode
pengajaran yang menarik untuk mencetak lulusan SMK Pariwisata
mampu mengisi kesempatan bekerja di dunia pariwisata.

Buku English for Tourism ini menjadi lebih berbobot dan istimewa
dengan mengangkat dan mempopulerkan khasanah budaya lokal
khas Tanjung Puting kepada generasi muda sebagai bagian yang tak
terpisahkan dari beragam upaya melakukan pariwisata berkelanjutan
melalui pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di SMK Pariwisata. Dengan
demikian selain siswa-siswi dapat mahir berbahasa Inggris, karakter
mereka ikut dibangun melalui nilai-nilai kearifan budaya lokal yang
terkandung dalam materi pembelajaran English for Tourism ini.

Semoga melalui langkah mulia ini SMK Pariwisata mampu


menghasilkan sumber daya manusia pariwisata Indonesia yang
berkualitas, memiliki kompetensi dan professional sehingga mampu
berkompetisi dan memiliki daya saing yang tinggi di pasar pariwisata
nasional maupun international.

ACTIVITY #18
Study the following Telephone Etiquette for a hotel receptionists

Presenting a professional image, both in person and on the


telephone is a very important in the office skills profession. Taking
care of your customers over the telephone and making them feel
well informed and appreciated is essential. Whether you are a front
office receptionist, or an executive secretary, the following phone
tips should always be followed.

1. Speak clearly. A picture paints a thousand words but the


caller on the other end of the phone can only hear you. They
cannot see your face or body language. Therefore, taking the
time to speak clearly, slowly and in a cheerful, professional
voice is very important.

2. Use your normal tone of voice when answering a call.


If you have a tendency to speak loud or shout, avoid doing so
on the telephone.

3. Do not eat or drink while you are on telephone duty.


Only eat or drink during your coffee break or lunch break.

4. Do not use slang words or poor language. Respond clearly


with “yes” or “no” when speaking. Never use swear words.

5. Address the caller properly by his or her title. (i.e. Good


morning Mr. Brown, Good afternoon Ms. Sanders). Never
address an unfamiliar caller by his or her first name.

6. Listen to the caller and what they have to say. The ability
to listen is a problem in general but it is very important to
listen to what the caller has to say. It is always a good habit to
repeat the information back to the client when you are taking
a message. Verify that you have heard and transcribed the
message accurately.

Unit 1: Handling Reservations 37


7. Be patient and helpful. If a caller is irate or upset, listen to
what they have to say and then refer them to the appropriate
resource. Never snap back or act rude to the caller.

8. Always ask if you can put the caller on hold. If you are
responsible for answering multiple calls at once, always ask
the caller politely if you may put them on hold. Remember
that the caller could have already waited several minutes
before getting connected to you and may not take lightly to
being put on hold. Never leave the person on hold for more
than a few seconds or they may become upset and hang up.

9. Always focus on the call. Try not to get distracted by


people around you. If someone tries to interrupt you while
you are on a call, politely remind them that you are on a
customer call and that you will be with them as soon as you
are finished.

ACTIVITY #4
Study the following passage about tour itinerary.

TOUR ITINERARY
Tour itinerary is a tourist route that includes visits to various historical
sites, places of cultural Interest, natural attractions, or an itinerary
undertaken for cultural, educational, health, or sports purposes. Tour
itineraries may be worked out by tourist agencies and organisations, or
by the tourists themselves.

In terms of their directional orientation, the various types of itineraries


include linear, circular, and radial ones. Itineraries are also distinguished
in terms of mode of travel, for example: walking, cycling, automotive,
or water transport. In terms of time of tour operation, for example:
year round, seasonal, or one time itineraries. In terms of the different
arrangements that may be involved for group and individual itineraries.

Tourists may follow organised or preplanned tour routes (on the basis
of tourist organisation travel vouchers), or they may work out their own
independent itineraries. Organised tour Routes are specially designed
and equipped to offer tourists services such as excursions, tourist
centres, and campsites. A special category of itineraries consists of
fixed railroad, bus, ship, and airplane routes, or a combination of these.

Tourists may work out their own itineraries for example, for a day’s
holiday, for a trip of several days’ duration, or to engage in sports
activities. Such itineraries are usually organized and arranged with the
assistance of tourist clubs or tourist stations, or through the offices
of physical education groups. As many as 50 million persons go on
independent hikes or trips each year. On sports tour routes, difficult
hikes of several days’ duration are governed by the rules of sports
tourism.

In some countries, both domestic and international tour itineraries


are worked out and arranged by special state or public tourist
organisations, by the many private tourist firms, and by such agencies as
transportation company affiliates and hotel chain subsidiaries.

Adapted from Shtiurmer (2016)

Study the following example of Tanjung Puting National Park
itinerary. It is a 3-day tour itinerary based on a Kalimantan Specialist
Tour (2015). Pay close attention to the contents and language,
including the consistency.

https://larkingourwaythroughlife.files.wordpress.com

Tanjung Puting National Park 3 days


Tanjung Puting National Park / Code : KAL-003-STD 3 Days / 2 Nights

72 Unit 2: Guiding
1ST DAY
Arrival in Pangkalan Bun - Kumai - Houseboat - Tanjung Puting
National Park (L/D) After arrival at Pangkalan Bun airport (approx
10 am) your personal tour guide will meet you at the airport. It
takes approximately 30 minutes from Pangkalan Bun airport to
the harbour city of Kumai. In the harbour you will then board your
houseboat, your home for the tour. A late lunch will be served on
board. After lunch the houseboat will depart from Kumai and enter
the mouth of the Sekonyer River and continue upstream. Here you
have the possibility to relax on the deck and observe the passing
flora and fauna. The Sekonyer River is also a habitat for a very rare
species of crocodile (thus swimming in the river is not allowed). Just
sit back and enjoy the silence as well as the sounds of nature.

As evening arrives our personal on board chef will prepare a


delicious dinner. Once dinner has finished the team will prepare
mattresses and mosquito nets on deck for the night (on the deck/no
cabins available). Shower/toilet facilities are very simple but efficient
and very clean. (Lunch and dinner is inclusive)

2ND DAY
Tanjung Puting National Park - Pondok Tanggui / Orangutan feeding
- Camp Leakey /Museum / Orangutan feeding - Pondok Tanggui -
Houseboat (B/L/D)
After breakfast on board the houseboat our first stop in the Tanjung
Puting National Park is at Pondok Tanggui. Tanjung Puting National
Park is not only a habitat for orangutans but for a many different
animals including the long nose ape (Nasalis larvatus), rare bird
species, and a variety of colourful butterflies. These animals can
be spotted throughout the tour. Pondok Tanggui is particularly
known as a place where orangutans are observed and registered.
After our arrival at 9:30am, here you can take part in the feeding of
orangutans.

After this unique experience you return to the houseboat and head
upstream to Camp Leakey. Lunch is served on board. You will reach
Camp Leakey after a 2 hour journey through lush tropical rainforest.
At the Camp you will find the museum and documentation centre of
Camp Leakey/Tanjung Puting National Park which was established
by Mrs. Dr. Biruté Galdikas. First you will visit the museum and then
late afternoon you will continue, under the guidance of one of the
rangers to the feeding place of the orangutans. The trek to the
feeding place of the Orangutans starts around 2:30pm and takes

Unit 2: Guiding 73
about 45 minutes. Please always follow the instructions of your
ranger and note that you are not permitted to feed the orangutans
by yourself, or to eat or drink in front of them.

After this visit you will return to Camp Leakey and board your
houseboat again. After exploring more flora and fauna, you will
return to Pondok Tanggui for a second overnight on the houseboat.
Dinner will be served on the houseboat. Enjoy this unique
experience of the tranquillity and natural sounds of the rainforest.

3RD DAY
Pondok Tanggui - Kumai - Pangkalan Bun - Transfer to the airport
After breakfast on board, you will proceed back to Kumai harbour,
which takes about 2 hours. After reaching Kumai harbour you will

end. (Suitable for flights from Pangkalan Bun to Semarang) (Breakfast
included).

ACTIVITY #14
Study the following guiding commentary of the 3 day tour
to Tanjung Puting National Park. Guiding commentary from
Pangkalan Bun back to Pangkalan Bun

GUIDING COMMENTARY DAY 1

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Pangkalan Bun.


How was your flight? Did you enjoy it? My name is Nina Yanti. I am
your tour guide from the Sister Tour Agency. I would like to welcome
you all to Pangkalan Bun. Now it is 11.00 o’clock local time here. 1
hour difference from Bali. Please change your watch to local time. If
you are all ready, we will take the bus to the harbour city of Kumai.
The journey is about 30 minutes. On the way we will pass through
Pasir Panjang village where you can see the famous Betang house.
Please get on the bus.

74 Unit 2: Guiding

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now heading to Pasir Panjang village.
Pasir Panjang means long sand, it is inhabited by people from the
Dayak tribe. The population of this village is about 350 families. Most
of them work in farming, planting rubber trees, palm oil, and other
activities for their living. Now, look on your right side, there is a Long
House called Betang.
A Betang is the traditional home of the Dayak tribe in Central
Kalimantan. The building and poles are made of Ulin, the hardest
wood in Borneo. A Betang is usually used for welcoming guests and
other official ceremonies. The house has been standing for about
100 years or more. It is built in form of a stage at a height of about
three to five feet off the ground. The purpose of this is to avoid
flooding during the rainy season and to protect the community from
wild animals and other people outside their community.


Ladies and gentlemen, we have almost arrived at Kumai harbour,
please get ready to depart. This is Kumai Harbour. Let’s get off
the bus. Please be careful and watch your step. Please take a look
around while I will transfer your luggage to the boat and prepare
everything to go. Everything is ready now, please follow me to the
boat. Welcome on board. In the next couple days we will use this
houseboat as our base for our journey into Tanjung Puting National
Park. Please make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the silence, as
well as the sounds of nature. Ladies and gentlemen I would like to
introduce you to our crew. The boat captain, co captain, cook, and
cook’s assistance. Our chef has the very important job of preparing
you a delicious selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner on board.
Every evening for sleeping, clean mattresses will be prepared and
placed with mosquito nets on deck. Shower/toilet facilities are very
simple but efficient and very clean.

We start the tour by leaving Kumai harbour, entering the estuary of
the Sekonyer River and going upstream. It will take approximately
half an hour to travel from our entrance into Tanjung Puting National
Park to the first camp, Tanjung Harapan. During the journey look on
your left and right sides and enjoy your first glimpse of the jungle.
Please take pictures and feel free to ask me any questions.

As we travel up the Sekonyer River, I will explain about Tanjung


Puting National Park. More than 600 species of trees, 200 species of
orchids, nearly 250 species of birds, 28 species of large mammals,
9 species of primates and many forms of life share their space in

Unit 2: Guiding 75
Tanjung Puting National Park. If we are lucky, we will spot some
wildlife, possibly crocodiles and several species of monkeys. Tanjung
Puting National Park is one of the natural wonders of the world
and a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Orangutans are the main
reason to visit this part of Kalimantan, on the Indonesian side of
Borneo. Wild orangutans only live in Sumatera and Borneo, and
Borneo is one of the last places in the world to see orangutans in the
wild. Unfortunately the orangutans habitat is rapidly disappearing
due to deforestation from palm oil plantations and mining. There
is also plenty of other wildlife to see, as Tanjung Puting is a mega
biodiversity hotspot.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now going up the Sekonyer River


to see Nypa fruticans. Commonly known as the nipa palm forest,
you can see this on both sides of the river in the 18kms to Tanjung
Harapan. The nipa palm trunk grows beneath the ground and only
the leaves and flower stalk grow upwards above the surface. It grows
in soft mud and slow moving tidal and river waters that bring in
nutrients. The palm can be found as far inland as the tide can deposit
the floating nuts. Thus, it is an unusual palm tree, and the leaves can
extend up to 9m (30 ft) in height. The interesting thing is that until
3-5 years ago, the local people have taken the leaves to make house
roofs. Young palm leaves of coconut trees can be woven to make the
roofs and walls of the house. Local people name them kajang.

76 Unit 2: Guiding
Ladies and gentlemen, take a look on both sides of the river. Entering
the Sekonyer River on our right (south) is part of the national park
forest. While on the left (north), is the buffer zone of the forest
(forest buffer). It is separated by the Sekonyer River. You will see
the river looks a muddy colour, this is partly due to the run off from
illegal gold mining in the area.

Ladies and gentlemen, the original name of the Sekonyer River


was the Crocodile River. The name Sekonyer was taken from the
name of a ship that sank in the estuary. The original name of the
vessel was modified based on the Malay word Sekonyer. The story
goes that during the Dutch colonial rule, in the estuary of Sungai
Buaya, there anchored a pirate ship. The ship sank in the right
of the estuary of Sungai Buaya when it was fired at with a small
cannon by a man named Bujang. Called a “Palembang”, this cannon
belonged to a Muslim preacher, “Kyai Gede”. The cannon can only
be fired by descendants of Kyai Gede, or one of the tribes of Dayak
Gambu. After the ship was sunk the river was renamed the Sekonyer,
although local people still often refer to the original name, the
Crocodile River.

Along the river you can find over 250 species of birds, the long nose
ape (Nasalis larvatus), also called the Bakantan, rare bird species,
and a variety of colourful butterflies. Fireflies and other monkeys
also live in the surrounding areas of the Sekonyer River. You can see
some of the animals hanging on the Rasau trees and Nipa Palm.

Ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes we will arrive in Tanjung


Harapan. I would like to give you some information about this area.
The first guard post in the park was constructed here in the late
1970’s. Tanjung Harapan was the original site of the Sekonyer Village,
which was moved across the Sekonyer River. The surrounding area is
designated as a utilisation zone. In this area, several facilities for park
management, as well as for visitors have been built. Tanjung Harapan
is also serves as an alternative orangutan center.

We have now reached Tanjung Harapan. We will stop here and I will
collect your ticket. In a few minutes, lunch will be served. Here you
are. The lunch is ready. Please enjoy your lunch.

Unit 2: Guiding 77
Ladies and gentlemen, how was the food? I hope you enjoyed it.
Now we will go to Tanjung Harapan feeding camp, please prepare
yourself. Please wear boots or shoes, and you should bring sun
protection as it’s very hot and plenty of insect repellent to protect
yourself from the jungle insects. Ladies and gentlemen, before we go
I would like to share a bit of information about the 3 feeding camps
in the National Park. There are 3 feeding camps, the first is Tanjung
Harapan, second is Pondok Tanggui, and the last is Camp Leakey.
Tanjung Harapan is part of the rehabilitation process that provides
daily feedings at the jungle platform to help assist in the release
of the orangutans. Positioned at the west entrance of the National
Park, Tanjung Harapan and this region are utilisation zones for the
development of nature tourism activities. The facilities include an
information center, guest house, hotel and control towers.

Before we go to the feeding camp I would like to share some rules


and regulations. You may take pictures of the orangutans, but please
don’t use any kind of camera lighting when you take their pictures.
Do not throw any plastic or other rubbish in the area. Please put
your rubbish in your pocket or bag and take it with you. Do not drink
water or eat in front of the orangutans because it will attract them to
you. Keep your distance from them, please don’t to try touch them,
and make as little noise as possible. Stay away from the fence at the
feeding station, and never stand in between a male and a female
orangutan. If you are ready now, please get off the boat. Be careful,
watch your step, and I will wait for you at the dock. Please follow me.
If you have any questions on our way to the feeding camp, please
don’t hesitate to ask. Ladies and gentlemen, to reach the feeding
station requires a short walk of about 15 minutes through the jungle.


Ladies and gentlemen we have arrived at the feeding area. There is
a building shaped like a stage to put food or fruit for the orangutans.
This includes banana, mango, lemon, watermelon, sweet potato and
others. This is done to avoid competition with other animals such as
squirrels or wild boars that may steal the food served. Once the food
is placed by an officer or person called a ranger, ritual feeding begins
and the rangers usually call the orangutans by shouting aloud. When
the orangutans hear that voice they know it’s time to eat. Please,
make yourself comfortable, and sit back and watch.

Watching & Feeding Orangutans

Ladies and gentlemen, now you’ve seen the orangutans let’s go back
to the boat for a break. Cold drinks and snacks will be served. After
that you can relax, enjoy the afternoon and sunset in the jungle.
Please don’t forget to use insect repellent as it heads towards dusk.
Your dinner will be served at 6.15pm.

It is time for dinner. For dinner tonight we have soto manggala. It is


a traditional dish made from cassava. The ingredients include: 1kg
of cassava, 1/2kg of fish, leeks, onion, celery leaves, fried onions,
1 cinnamon stick, 2 liters of water, garlic, pepper, salt, fried eggs,
chilli, and 2 slices of lime. So, how do we cook soto manggala? First
puree the garlic, pepper, and salt. Dice the cassava and boil until half
cooked. Remove the water. Boil the minced catfish. Puree the other
ingredients and boil until it becomes a broth. Cook the onion. Mix
the cassava stew with the herb broth. Serve with celery, fried onions
and cassava crackers. Some local people substitute the fish with
chicken. There you are, the soto mangala is ready to serve. Please,
enjoy your dinner.

Now it’s time for you to take a rest. We will prepare a clean mattress
for you to sleep on and hang mosquito nets to protect you from both
small and big insects. Have a nice dreams and tomorrow we will visit
Pondok Tanggui (an orangutan feeding camp) and Camp Leakey.

GUIDING COMMENTARY DAY 2


Good morning everyone, how are you doing today? Did you sleep
well last night? I hope you had pleasant dreams after our tour
yesterday. Our cook has prepared a delicious breakfast for you.
Please enjoy your breakfast in the wild. After breakfast we will
continue our journey to Pondok Tanggui. Ok, have a nice breakfast.

Are you ready to continue our journey? Now we are leaving Tanjung
Harapan and heading to Pondok Tanggui. It’s located about 22 km
from Tanjung Harapan. It’s very hot, so I suggest you use a hat to
protect yourself from the sun. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like
to share a little bit of history about Pondok Tanggui’s. The name is
taken from the natural psychic phenomena that occurred in 1942
- 1945 during the Japanese colonial period when strange creatures
like humans were often seen, sitting and wearing a Tanggui (Tanggui
= hat). Hence, Pondok Tanggui.

Ladies and gentlemen, this area is home to pre wild and adolescent
orangutans. It hosts various kinds of animals like deer, pig, the
Rangkong bird (rhinoceros), the Raja Udang bird, and the Sesep
Madu bird. During our journey from Tanjung Harapan to Pondok
Tanggui, we will pass through the habitats of the Proboscis monkey
and the estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), so keep your eyes
open, you never know what you will see. This area is also rich with a
variety of interesting tropical plants. We will encounter small tropical

80 Unit 2: Guiding
pitcher plants (nepenthes), and many mosquito predators roaming
around the area. There are also leaves and moss strewn on the
ground, and rafflesia in the woods.

Look at your side when we pass the estuary to Tanjung Harapan. This
is an area of brackish water where you can find native palm planta
(Nypa fruticans) growing and extending into the interior. The farther
you go inside, the higher the trees grow. You can see Bekantan
(Nasalis larvatus) hanging over the trees, jumping from one to
another, eating the young leaves as their food.
Ladies and gentlemen, one of the unique animals you will see in the
National Park is the Proboscis monkey (Bekantan), or the scientific
name Nasalis larvatus. It is a type of long nosed monkey with
reddish brown hair and is one of two species in a single genus of
the monkeys Nasalis. The main characteristics that distinguishes the
Proboscis from other monkeys is its long and large nose, found only
in males of the species. The function of the large nose on the male
Proboscis monkey is still not clear, but it may be caused by natural
selection. Female monkeys prefer males with larger noses as a
partner. Because of this nose, Proboscis monkeys are also known as
Dutch monkeys. Proboscis males are larger than females. Their size
can reach 75cm and weigh up to 24kg. Female monkeys measure
60cm with a weight of 12kg. This species also has a large belly as a
result of food consumption habits. In addition to fruit and grains,
Proboscis monkeys eat a variety of leaves which produces a lot of gas
when digested.
These side effects make their stomach bulge.

Ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes we will reach the port of


Pondok Tanggui. Please, prepare yourself and remember to bring sun
cream, water, mosquito repellent, and of course, your camera. Don’t
be in a hurry we still have enough time to see the feeding time in
Pondok Tanggui. Now, we’ve arrived in Pondok Tanggui dock. Please
be careful getting off the boat, and watch your step.

Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a short trek of about 45 minutes


to the feeding center. Prepare your camera as you never know what
you might see on the way to the feeding center. Please follow me to
the guard post to register our ticket.

Unit 2: Guiding 81

Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the guard post. I will take
your ticket to be checked. While I am checking your tickets please
write your name and put your signature in the guest book. You will
see other people who have visited this place before us.

kalimantan-yang.html

Ok, let’s make a move ladies and gentlemen. Along the way to
the feeding center there are so many amazing things to see. You’ll
find wild animals and plants, such as ferns and pitcher plants
everywhere. This area was dry for a long time, but now looks like
a newly planted forest. There is a view of the old tower stands in
the middle. Around the feeding ground, the plants grow tightly and
footpaths are less than 1m wide, and wet. You can smell the wet soil.

We are in a fern area now which is green and dense. Local people
use the old roots, which they combine with rattan, to make souvenirs
such as bracelet and rings. A rather special souvenir is the Bruta, a
locally made bracelet from tree trunks. Bruta is a fern plant that is
available widely in the forests of Borneo. The trunk is very strong and
the color does not fade easily, even after three years use. Formerly
the Dayak Pasir Panjang used to bind the saber for their traditional
weapons, but after seeing the unique character of the plants, Bruta
ferns slowly converted to become ethnic jewelry. For someone who

82 Unit 2: Guiding
is already an expert, they can make the Bruta bracelets in just 20
minutes. However, if somebody is really clever, they can make a
Bruta stem into many items, including necklaces, rings, and even
headdress. Beginners, however will need a few weeks to learn in
order to make a bracelet. It is expertly twisted in a circular motion so
it does not break. Being a very pliable material, the wonderful thing
about the Bruta is that it can pass over your wrists easily.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the feeding camp, please


don’t make any noise. The rules are the same as before. Do not
give any kind of food to the orangutans, do not take pictures with a
flash, keep your bag close, watch your surroundings, and be aware
because orangutans can come from any direction. Some of them will
swing from a tree to the stage for food, while others will just walk.
So keep your distance, at least 10 meters away, and do not drink or
eat in front of them. These rules are shown on the board here.

Notice for Visitors


Source:http://www.wisatatanjungputing.com/

As you can see now, some of the rangers will call the orangutans
to feed them. Sometimes they call them by their own name, other
times they make a sound to call orangutans. The ranger will pour
milk into the big can on the platform, as well as put fruit for them to
eat. Watch what happens now. You see there is a big male orangutan

Unit 2: Guiding 83
alone on the platform taking fruit and a drink. There are so many
orangutans surrounding him, but none of them dare to approach
the platform, they’re just waiting their turn. This orangutan is the
dominant one among the group. He’s the strongest of all, and the
others will not challenge him. This is what happens in the kingdom of
the wild animals including the orangutans. Now I will let you watch
quietly and enjoy. Here are some long chairs you can sit on.

Ladies and gentlemen, have you finished watching? If you have


already finished, we will go back to our boat via another route. Please
follow me. On the way back please be aware we are still in a wild
jungle and you need to be careful what you touch.

Ant in Tanjung Puting National Park


Source: http://marinetomyrmecologist.blogspot.co.id/2013/09/orangutan-
camp.html

One of these creatures is the red ant. They can bite! If they bite it
is painful for a few seconds, you will feel heat around the bite, and
then it will become red. It can be rather uncomfortable. The other
animals to watch out for are leeches. They are small, but when they
stick to your skin they suck your blood without any kind of pain at all.
Due to the high humidity, animals such as leeches grow more in this
environment, so we need to take extra care. As well as the animals,
you also need to be careful of some of the trees. For example, this
is a tree you should not touch, especially the sap. It will leave your
skin feeling very itchy and painful. So please take care, and most
importantly, don’t forget to enjoy your adventure.

Ladies and gentlemen look at this tree, it’s a wonderful example of
how the forest can provide such healthy food. This fruit is a kind
syzygium, it’s unique in flavour, sweet and edible, contains many
vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and is very good for the body
and health. Orangutans sometimes eat this as their snack. You can
try it.

Now, we are approaching the dock, please take a rest before


boarding the boat. Be careful when boarding the boat because we
need to pass some other boats to get to our own boat. Parking areas
at the dock are limited, so we have to climb across some of the other
boats. Now we will continue our trip to Camp Leakey. It takes about
2 hour from here. During the journey our cook will serve you fresh,
cold drinks and some snacks. So just sit back, relax and enjoy the
sights and sounds of the jungle.

Now we are heading to Camp Leakey, the last feeding place after
Tanjung Harapan and Pondok Tanggui. Camp Leakey was established
in 1971 by Dr. Biruté Galdikas and the former spouse, Rod
Brindamour. It was named after the legendary paleo-anthropologist,
Louis Leakey, who was both a mentor and an inspiration to Dr.
Galdikas, as well as Drs. Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. Originally
consisting of just two huts, Camp Leakey is now an assembly of

Unit 2: Guiding 85
permanent wooden structures designed to provide a base for
scientists, staff, students, and Park Rangers.

Over the years, Camp Leakey has supported the research efforts
of dozens of scientists and students including undergraduate
and graduate students from Indonesia (Universitas Nasional &
Universitas Gajamada) and North America. Many have gone on to
receive their Ph.D. degrees. Projects have ranged from orangutan,
Proboscis monkey, gibbon and leaf-eating monkey behavior
and ecology, to studies of orangutan sign language abilities and
cognition, to leech behaviour, and river system ecology. As an active
research facility, Camp Leakey welcomes day visitors with local
guides. Visitors are not allowed to overnight at Camp Leakey. OFI
staff ask that you come with the appropriate permits, check-in with
the rangers, observe the orangutans from a safe distance, and do not
disturb the scientists conducting research.

This camp is quite different from the others we visited before. It


is very famous among travellers who visit Tanjung Puting National
Park due to its comprehensive research and information about
orangutans, the wildlife, flora and fauna found in the National Park.
I hope you enjoy it.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing you will notice is the black river.
Watch it carefully as the water is very different to the water further
upstream where it is very clear and fresh. As we turn to the right and
look at the water, you will see, it is very different.

86 Unit 2: Guiding

It continues to change along the way until we approach Camp Leakey


becoming more and more clear and fresh. You will also notice the
waterway becomes narrower and narrower as we approach Camp
Leakey, with only one boat being able to pass through. Make sure
you look out for the beautiful wild lilies on both of sides of the river.

Ladies and gentlemen, before going into Camp Leakey, the cook will
prepare and serve lunch. After lunch, we will dock and continue our
tour by visiting the last feeding center in Camp Leakey. Have a nice
lunch everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have finished having lunch, please


prepare yourself and to get off the boat, we will now explore the
camp. Please follow me along this wooden footpath, watch your
step. This wooden footpath is made from hardest local wood, and
will last for many years. You might like to take a picture. The guard
post is at the end of this pathway.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will collect your tickets for inspection. Please
wait while I check the tickets. Ok, we are ready, let’s go. The first
building we will see in this camp is the information center, it is right
in front of us. Let’s go inside.

88 Unit 2: Guiding
First I will tell you a bit about the orangutans of Camp Leaky. There
are two dominant orangutans in Camp Leakey, the male is called
Tom, and the female Siswi . Tom has been the king of all orangutans
in Camp Leakey for years after he defeated his own father, Kosasih.
There was no information about Kosasih until now. Some of the
local people here said that he died in the jungle, but some said he
disappeared and still lives in the jungle. The truth is not known. The
jungle rules say the strongest is the king of all. Local people said
this is Tom as the king, and Siswi as the queen. If we are lucky we
will meet Tom. However, nowadays Tom rarely reveals himself to
people, he’d rather be alone somewhere in the wilderness. While
Siswi sometimes shows herself to tourists, lying down on the dock at
Camp Leakey. People call her the receptionist because she looks like
she receives the guests who enter the camp.


Ladies and gentlemen, we will be trekking through the jungle from
here to the feeding camp, it’s about 45 minutes., I guarantee you’ll
have great experience. Please, follow me this way. As I told you
before, please be careful in the jungle, and if you see something
unusual, please tell me. I will explain, or tell you what to do. You will
notice the forest in here is more tight and dense than the forests of
Pondok Tanggui, the trees are higher, and the soil more muddy. This
is partially because of the three sites, Camp Leakey has the farthest
trekking trails into the jungle, so you get to experience going much
deeper into the jungle.

Ladies and gentlemen, please walk carefully along the track because
in a forest like this orangutans could suddenly appear without any
notice or sign. Likewise with boars and snakes and other jungle
animals. Take a look at this tree, a set of giant termites have gnawed
the roots of a 200 year old ironwood.

To the right of you there is fungi on the tree. There are some types of
fungi that can be eaten, but there are also some that are not edible,
and even poisonous. The one that you can see here is edible.

Look at the top of the tree, there is an orangutan swinging on the


tree trunk. It seems to be going to the feeding camp like us. In a
few minutes we will reach the feeding center, please take a seat
and watch the amazing activities of these orangutans. As usual the
ranger will call them.

90 Unit 2: Guiding
Ok, that is the end of our tour today. I hope all of you are happy with
tour today. Please, follow me now and we will go back a different
way to our boat. This way is shorter than before and passes by an
open area that is overgrown with green ferns. If you look on your
right and left sides there are some buildings that are inhabited by
the people who work to protect and guard this camp. They dedicate
their life to the camp, and for weeks they don’t see their families.
Sometimes they also find themselves in dangerous situations where
they can encounter illegal loggers or wild animals. We have to
appreciate that no matter who or what they are, they are part of the
life cycle of Tanjung Puting National Park.

Now we are approaching the dock. Please take a rest for a while
before getting on the boat. Ladies and gentlemen please get aboard.
I hope you have had an inspiring day and you can feel why this
wildlife should be preserved.


Ladies and gentlemen, now we will leave the port and head into the
Pondok Tanggui area, it takes about 2 hours from here. Please feel
free to take a shower, and then our cook will serve you a delicious
snack and fresh drink to accompany our journey. Please relax and
enjoy the serenity of the jungle. I suggest you prepare your camera
because some of the animals of the jungle will appear in late of
afternoon. Ok, I will leave you to rest for a while. If you need me you
can find me below deck. Have a wonderful afternoon.

Hi ladies and gentlemen. Tonight is the last night of our tour and we
will stay on the boat again. Now we will go to a place where you can
see thousands of fireflies, and your dinner will be served there.

On the way to the site we will see thousands of fireflies flying around
the trees, it really is a magnificent sight. Some of them gather
around the big trees, others swarm in the small trees. They make the
trees flicker in the dark and create a magnificent light. They do not
appear everywhere in Tanjung Puting, they only exist in areas such as
the nipa palm forest. The firefly itself is an insect that emits a clearly
visible light in the evenings. The light generated by “cold light “ that
contains no ultraviolet or infrared rays, has a wavelength of 510 to
670 nanometers, with a pale red, yellow, or green colour, with light
efficiency up to 96 % .

Ladies and gentlemen, in a few minutes we will dock the boat so you
can sit back, relax and watch the fireflies over dinner.

Ok, our captain has found a place to stop, and now you can watch the
fireflies from your seat. Our cook will prepare and serve dinner. If you
don’t mind I will turn off the lamp and light the candles, then you can
really enjoy the magnificent light shining from the fireflies. If you want
to take pictures of the fireflies you should use a special setting on your
camera because the light from fireflies too soft for a regular camera to
detect. Ok, your dinner is ready now. Enjoy your dinner everyone.

Now you have finished


your dinner, our
crew will clear up the
dishes and we will
set up your beds and
mosquito net. We will
stay here tonight and
tomorrow your tour
will end. We suggest
you pack and prepare
your things tonight as
you have a morning
flight. The journey in
the morning to Kumai Source: http://www.nomadtravellers.com/
harbour is 2 hours
from here, and then
we will transfer you to the airport. I will leave you now. If you need
any assistance during your packing please ask. Have a nice night and
have a peaceful sleep. See you tomorrow.
