I sort of did this about 10-12 yearas ago and it wasn't quite as organized as this seems to be.
I followed the suggestions in the Peiplus Borneo Book and flew into Pankalanbun (from Banjarmarsin.) The flight was a kick on a small plane where they weighed the passenger as well as your baggage --lol.
When I landed I took a taxi to get my permist and after one nite in town went upstream by slow boat/klontok with a crew of 3--
It was very relaxing, and you had the feeling of being pretty much out in the midst of nowhwere.
The Orangs were amazing, and at that time a little Jungle walking was all that was available.
