This expedition is not tourism. It is a rare opportunity to live, travel, and learn alongside the Mentawai, journeying by longboat and on foot into one of Sumatra’s last remaining primary rainforests. This expedition combines cultural immersion, jungle trekking, and traditional survival skills in a remote UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Venture deep into one of the least-known rainforests on Earth during this 13-day expedition across Halmahera, the largest island in North Maluku, Indonesia. Guided by an experienced IAJG instructor and Indigenous Tabaru experts, you’ll learn essential jungle survival skills in a truly remote environment.
