Incredible life experience - Incredible time in the jungle. Our guides (Johnny / Hendrik) were very knowledgeable, super friendly, and made our time very memorable. Food was spectacular and we had almost a dozen orangutan / wildlife settings. Would highly recommend!

Sumatra: A Bucket MUST!!! - First, planning this adventure was a seamless process with See Bukit Lawang quickly adapting to our every need and want to create our ultimate vacation at an unbelievably reasonable price!!!!
From the moment we arrived on the stunning and mystical island of Sumatra we were received by some of the SWEETEST PEOPLE we’ve ever met in our 30 years of traveling the world!!!
And we travel A LOT!!!!!
It truly felt like we drifted back in time to simpler , better days….
We LOVE WILDLIFE, ADVENTURE and A bit of LUXURY from time to time and See Bukit Lawang DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!
First,camping deep in the jungle with the reward of UP CLOSE sightings of Leaf monkeys, Lemurs and SO MANY OTHER PRIMATES , REPTILES ETC!!!!
Of course the GRAND PRIZE was a CLOSE UP VIEWING OF A MOTHER ORANGUTAN AND HER BABY ( it was worth the otherworldly days of jungle trekking!!!!)
From remote caves to viewing sunrise at the summit of an Amazing Volcano through the billowing clouds BELOW us….
Yes , we were THAT HIGH AND THE VIEWS WERE SPECTACULAR!!!!! Well worth the early morning hike upward in the dark!!
From white water rafting to motorcycle rides through tight village side streets, to bathing and feeding rehabilitating ELEPHANTS in a jungle river it was like LIVING IN AN INDIANA JONES MOVIE!!!!
For the PERFECT, RELAXING ending to our adventure came a scenic ferry ride to a lush island on Lake Toba decorated with swaying palm trees and STUNNING SUNSETS!!!!
This was a DREAM VACATION in every way thanks to ALL of the AMAZING GUIDES AND ORGANIZERS AT See Bukit Lawang !!!!!
Big shout out to Ijun our tour organizer, camping with Henry and Nanang, Elephant sanctuary with Arnol,Lake Toba with Rendy, Sandro and Adell, Morning volcano trek with Imam. ALL WERE FANTASTIC AND PROFESSIONAL!!! Not to mention FUN AND SO FRIENDLY!!!!
Lastly, the meals were both PLENTIFUL and DELICIOUS throughout the trip!!!!!
WE CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH 🙏 !!!!!!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5)

Not like in the zoo - much better! - There’s never a guarantee of seeing animals in their natural environment—if that’s what you’re after, you should go to a zoo. During our two-day tour, however, we were lucky enough to see orangutans twice, four in total.
But the experience was about much more than that. The sometimes quite challenging hike through the jungle was truly one of a kind. The smells, the sounds, the vegetation—simply unbeatable.
Our guides, Arnold and Ulis, were friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. The lunches they seemed to magically pull out of their backpacks were fantastic, with a wide variety of delicious fruits for dessert.
The overnight camp was very comfortable, and the cook treated us to an excellent dinner and a great breakfast the next morning.
Well done, Arnold and Ulis—thank you!

BEST JUNGLE TRIP - My tour guide Dolat was amazing! I had the best time! I spent 2 days hiking and 1 night at the camp site. We saw 5 orangutans and 4 gibbons! Everyone was super friendly and nice the whole time! This was the perfect solo trip. The village was very quiet and peaceful. Everything was taken care of by the guides. When I needed bug spray I was able to get some here. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants some adventure in their life!

Best orangutan trekking company! - Absolutely the best tour company in Indonesia! My friend and I had the best time ever on their overnight jungle trek, which included river rafting afterwards. It was a challenging hike, but well worth it in the end. I can't say enough about our amazing guides either. They made sure we saw everything we possibly could in the amount of time given. I'm dying to go back and do it all over again.
They offer incredible meals on the trek as well. Lots of fresh fruit and traditional food. I hope you like camping, because accommodations in the jungle are very basic, but you'll be so tired after the hike that it won't even matter. If you do this tour, you can't be afraid to get a little dirty.
All in all, a highlight of our trip to Indonesia. See Bukit Lawang will make your dreams come true!

Amazing experience! - We visited Bukit Lawang as a group of five friends. We booked 2 nights jungle track, bat cave and elephants, which was in total five days. Everything started with a pick up in Medan from where its around three hour drive but it went by fast with a great guy behind the wheel. They took great care of us at Bukit. Atmosphere was amazing, great food, great people, great accommodation, even in the jungle. Hopefully there will be another chance to come back there. So if you want a great experience don't hesitate and book it.

Easy with airport transfers included! It was the best trek with the meticulous attention of the guide - I chose this plan with airport transfer because I wanted to reduce the burden of travel, and it was a great answer. The first and fourth days were the main free time for traveling, and the second and third days were trekking, which was a crisp and enjoyable trip.
Our guides, ADIT and BAIM, and the chef who cooked the delicious meal, were very supportive. This time we had two small Asian women, but they adjusted the course and speed to our pace, so we genuinely enjoyed the hike without feeling any physical anxiety.
I was lucky enough to encounter two orangutans! I was speechlessly moved by the beautiful color of the coat, not only to see it on a tree in the distance, but to see it up close. In addition to orangutans, I am truly grateful for the professional work of the guides who searched for the best spots to see monkeys and birds.
