See bukit lawang - highly recommended - Absolutely amazing tour. Erol and Randy were our guides. Knowledgeable and experienced guys with a fine amount of humour. Saw numerous oerang-oetangs during the tour.
Even had an accident that occurred during the tour. The guides didn’t just take us back to Bukit Lawang but also brought us to the dokter, translated the treatment where necessary and made sure we arrived back safely at our hotel.
Absolutely highly recommend these guys. Trustworthy, locals, experienced and engaged.

Bukit Lawang Primate Trek - This has to be the most amazing jungle I've ever been in. We saw male, female and baby orangutans, gibbons, pig tailed macaques, Thomas's Langur, peacocks, water monitors and some other birds- all inside of 6 hours. The guides were super friendly and helpful and packed us a great fruit spread and lunch. The river ride home was fun and refreshing. Would recommend this to anyone if you're visiting.

Fun, safe, incredible, memorable - highly recommend this experience. - This was an amazing and memorable experience!! I fully recommend this trip for anyone wanting to have fun and enjoy the company of local and highly experienced people. iZoen was incredible, he has put together an amazing team of experts that are incredibly familiar with the environment. We were privileged to indeed see Orangutans - this is not always guaranteed - but the team went out of their way to ensure we would see them. Transport was safe and fun, every moment of this experience, the trekking, the rafting, the transport was faultless. We were made to feel so welcome. I cannot recommend this experience more highly! Given the opportunity we would do this all over again without any hesitation! Thank you iZoen!

Best National Park Day Trip! - Couldn’t be happier with our experience with SeeBukitLawang. We decided to do the day tour and it was even better than we had hopped. We found 9 orangutans during our 8 hours of trekking through the jungle. Orangutans weren’t the only species we found, we came across countless other species. Our guides we super patient and let us take as long as we wanted with photos and videos. The service is top notch and I’d highly recommend using this company. We will 100% be coming back again in the future and next time we will spend a week in the jungle!

Adventure in jungle - I did a day hike with Henry and Hafiz as my guides. The hike was so much fun! We saw so many animals including 8 orangutans. The guides knew a lot about nature and were great fun too. We rafted back by the river which was super fun! One of the most magical and best experiences of my life. Thanks guys!❤️

Wildlife viewing at close range - Did 3 individual half day treks of around 4 hours. Saw orang utan, gibbon, thomas leaf monkey, flying lemur.
Saw orang utan mother breastfeed. Later in the day saw orang utan mother building sleeping nest for the night.
Especially interesting was also the snake tour offered by Ipol. Saw colorful snakes, mostly vipers.
The forest was very full of tourists.
Did not do rafting.
