Orangutan Trek in Bukit Lawang! - Life changing experience. The trek was hard but rewarding. Ibnu and Fian were outstanding guides, patient and caring. We were spoilt in camp and Jeri’s food was amazing. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour with outstanding guides (Nasir and Rozi)!!!! - The best 3 days ever! Our guides, Nasir and Rozi, were the most welcoming, informative, attentive and happy people - they made the 3 days amazing! Our chef Jakky made some of the BEST food we’ve eaten in Indonesia! Nasir found a mother and baby orangutan and we were able to get really close. We saw lots of orangutans, monkeys, birds, snakes, insects and amazing plants and trees. I’d recommend this tour to everyone! You won’t find better guides anywhere else!

3 days Into the Wild - I went for the 3-day trekking with 3 portuguese friends and we have had an incredible time exploring Bukit Lawang’s jungle in the company of two incredible guides and the rest of their crew. We were able to see several different species of monkeys, lizzards, and insects. This while getting explanations from our guides that always made us feel at home. Besides this we have such good feists. I am still not sure how they managed to carry that much food with them all the time, but from the 4 different local plates they have given us every day for dinner to the 6 different types of fruits we have ate every meal, I couldn’t ask to have been treated better. That being said, I believe this was one of the best parts of our trip, which then continued on to the island of Bali. This experience offered a truly authentic way to discover the real Indonesia — to connect with its wildlife, understand how the locals live and think, and get a glimpse of their roots. It’s something you don’t really get to experience in the more touristy and mainstream areas of the country. A huge thank you to our guide Waka, who felt like a brother to us, to our legendary guide Jungle Boy (a.k.a. Mowgli), and to Jerry — the best chef in the jungle!

Great 3-Day Trek with Sumatra Orangutan Trekking - We had a great 3-day trek with Sumatra Orangutan Trekking. Big thanks to Syaipul, Rizky, and Ekong for taking such good care of us. They really listened to what the group wanted and gave us choices each day like how hard the hike would be and which camp we’d stay at. We succeeded in finding the orangutans and several other monkeys species. Everyone in our group had a great time. I really recommend this tour!

3 Days Orangutan Trekking – An absolute highlight of our Indonesia trip - The jungle trekking over three days was one of the most beautiful experiences of our trip. We booked the 3-day tour and spent two nights in the middle of the jungle. Our guides were always in a good mood and infected us with their positive energy. They have lovingly taken care of all our concerns. During the tour we were able to observe a total of four orangutans and Thomas Monkeys in the great outdoors. The moment you encounter the orangutans is truly unforgettable and will be remembered for a long time to come. The guides also gave us some very informative information about the life of the orangutans. Another highlight was the refreshing swim in the waterfall near our camp – just beautiful! Tip: Be sure to take enough change clothes with you, because you sweat heavily while trekking and it can rain sometimes. Long clothing is recommended because of the mosquitoes, as are good shoes, as it is sometimes steep uphill and downhill. Our guides were very considerate throughout the trekking and always took enough breaks to allow us to enjoy nature properly. Everything was perfectly organized from the beginning – from the uncomplicated airport transfer arranged via WhatsApp to the entire tour. This adventure will definitely remain unforgettable!
