A Life Changing Experience - If anyone is trying to decide which tour operator to go with… there is no better choice than to go with Sumatra Orangutan Treks. Before we even booked, Dedycool helped us so much with any questions we had and explained how everything works. From the moment we arrived at our villa, we were given the biggest welcome and everyone was so friendly. The villa and grounds are so beautiful and peaceful we didn’t ever want to leave! Not to mention the food at their restaurant was some of the tastiest Indonesian food we had honestly ever tried.
The jungle trek - we decided to do 2 days 1 night and we absolutely loved every minute. Our guides Erwin and Janet were brilliant, making sure everyone was okay and safe, preparing us more than enough delicious food in the jungle, explaining the wildlife to us, navigating us through difficult jungle routes - we couldn’t ask for better tour guides. Thank you Erwin and Janet!
We initially decided to go with Sumatra Orangutan treks because of their ethical and eco friendly tours, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. Of course you are seeing the beautiful wildlife in their natural habitat so you can’t guarantee what you see during your trek, but we got so lucky and saw 8 orangutans and loads of monkeys without disturbing their natural habitat … it’s a life changing experience.
This is the company to go with, thank you everyone for making this such an amazing experience we will remember this forever ❤️

What a wonderful experience! - I did the 2D1N trek with them and had an absolute blast. I really loved that the groups were small instead of huge crowds — we were just 2 girls — which made the whole experience feel much more personal and peaceful, and allowed us to truly enjoy the jungle.
They organize everything for you, and I also appreciated how eco-friendly and respectful they are toward nature. Our guides, Yoga and Bambang, were definitely the highlight of the trip — super friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and at the same time very professional. They spoke great English, which made the whole experience even easier and more enjoyable.
The food was also AMAZING. They kept feeding us throughout the entire trip, and there was always so much delicious food — I think we came back from the trek gaining weight!
I also think it’s really important to support local people in Bukit Lawang, so I loved that this is a locally owned company run by local people from the area. Supporting local businesses and communities here truly makes a difference.
This was honestly one of the best activities I’ve joined in a long time. We saw so many orangutans, including a rare male orangutan, plus many other monkeys and wildlife throughout the trek.
I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bukit Lawang!

Jungle trek in Bukit Lawang - One of the best experiences of my entire life.
I was apprehensive at first to chose the 2 day over the 1 day but I am so happy that I did. My boyfriend and I were with another couple of similar age (all in our 30s) and we had 2 guides - Arman and Azri. I cannot compliment the guides enough. They were kind, funny, attentive and skilled. Being an ethical tour, nothing is guaranteed, however we were lucky enough to see gibbons, orangutans, macaques, and Thomas leaf monkeys as well as other jungle creatures. We were constantly indulging in delicious food (we are vegetarian and had fruit, rice, egg, tofu, tempeh, biscuits, sandwich’s, tea, pancakes…) and were supplied with lots of water. The jungle accomodation was comfortable and dry - a bamboo hut with mattresses, tarp, mosquito nets, blankets and pillows. Would recommend!!!

Jungle Trek, Jungle Trek in Bukit Lawang!!! - An unforgotteable experience. We spent 2 days trekking the beautiful jungle and being lucky enough to spend the night there. We were extremely fortunate to see what we saw. Arman our tour guide was the most loving, careful and insightful operator. Azri our chef, assistant guide and friend was a joy too. Would highly recommend this tour.

We had the best time with Joko and Azria! - We had the best time with Joko and Azri! The tour (2D1N) was great! We didn't expect to see so many animals. Not only Orangutan, but many other monkeys and animals (toucan, peacock, lizzard, waran, ..). The guides always showed us the best places and we felt very safe walking through the jungle with them. We had a very small group, only us (2 people) and the two guides, which was amazing. They could tell us a lot about the animals and plants in the jungle and we're always so nice to us.
Sleeping in the little huts in the jungle was also amazing, great atmosphere there! The food super delicious. They cooked fresh food for us there and prepared fruits, always arranging it very beautiful!
The tubing at the end was is also a very cool idea a made a lot of fun!
Wen can definitely recommend this tour!

The tour guides Yoko and Azri where exceptionally kind highly professional and very funny telling us everything we wanted to know joking with us, finding the best spot for breaks and so much more. It was like Trekking with friends. We are so happy we had them as our guides if you want to take this trip I highly recommend chosing them for your guides.

Unforgettable Jungle Trekking Experience in Bukit Lawang 🌿🦧 - Our jungle trekking experience in Bukit Lawang was truly unforgettable - especially thanks to our amazing guides, Reggie and Yoga. They are young, highly motivated, and deeply connected to the local area, which you could feel throughout the entire journey.
From the very beginning, we felt completely safe and well taken care of. They guided us confidently through the dense jungle, always adapting to our pace and preferences. What really stood out was their attentiveness and willingness to help at any time - you never feel like just another tourist.
A true highlight was encountering the Orang-Utan. Reggie and Yoga introduced us to these incredible animals with great respect and shared fascinating insights about their behavior and the importance of rainforest conservation.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The airport pick-up with Godex was smooth and hassle-free - highly recommend his company as well.
This tour was so much more than just an excursion—it was a rare and meaningful experience that will stay with us for a long time.
We will definitely book another adventure like this again and would choose this company anytime! The entire team is incredibly friendly, warm, and feels like a little family - it’s simply a joy to spend time with them.
