Kembang Island is located in the middle of the Barito river, District Alalak,
Kuala Barito Regency, South Kalimantan. The island is located approximately 1.5 km
from the city of Banjarmasin and can be reached by a traditional boat called a
‘klotok’ in about 10 minutes.
The island is occupied by hundreds of monkeys and several species of bird.
When entering the forest, the tourists will be welcomed by two statues of white
monkeys (Hanuman). The monkeys living on the island are very familiar with the
visitors. They usually wait for tourists coming on the pier. Tourists usually give them
bananas, peanuts, etc. The monkeys on Kembang Island are normally tame. They
never attack a visitor. Visitors can even feed the monkeys by putting the food on their
palm and the monkeys will gently take the food. They don’t have claws, so visitors
can safely interact with them. However, they sometimes seize things that they think
are food. Therefore, it is advised that visitors keep close watch of their valuables and
not put them in the klotok because the monkeys can easily climb on the klotok to grab
them.
On the island, lucky visitors can see one species of monkey that has become the
