Lok Baintan Floating Market, a 500 years old legacy. The floating
market is a market held on a river or waterway, usually using traditional
boats. This type of market is also found in neighbour countries such as
Thailand and Vietnam. In Indonesia the most prominent, authentic floating
markets are the Muara Kuin, downstream of the Kuin River in Banjarmasin, and
the Lok Baintan on the Martapura River in Banjar. Both are in South Kalimantan
province. It is a privilege to witness this ancient trade in action, as it
dates back to the reign of the Banjar Sultanate.
The Lok Baintan
Floating Market is usually held from just after dawn until the boats disperse
mid-morning. The traders are mostly women offering goods to anyone on the
river, including tourists in modern motor boats. The traders approach in their klotok (traditional
boats) and hawk their goods, ranging from fruits, such as rambutans, bananas,
guavas and oranges, to vegetables like cassava leaves, water spinach and
cauliflowers, to traditional snacks.

Visit Cempaka, the small
village 10 km from Banjarbaru, and 45 minutes from Banjarmasin. It is an old
site of traditional diamond digging using very simple equipment. The digging is
a collective work by a group, usually consisting of one family and its close
relatives.
Try Loksado’s bamboo
rafting and its definetly a unique experience, rafting here is different to the
usual safety get-ups and high-tech boats found elsewhere. These are simply
plain yet sturdy bamboo logs tied together into a long raft. It may look
frightening at first but it is actually pretty stable! It helps that the rapids
in the Amandit River are not as strong as others used for more heavy-duty
rafting.
