5.00Amazing experience, saw orangutan, Thomas leaf monkeys, macaques (long and pigtailed), the rhinoceros hornhlbill and monitor lizard. Could not complete the booking online but Dedycool was so fast and easy to contact via WhatsApp, always getting back to me straight away and helping to arrange transport to Bukit Lawang. Yoga, my tour guide, got in touch with me prior to the trek to introduce himself. On arrival to Bukit Lawang Yoga and Adriz, assistant tour guide, helped me to my hostel and briefed me for the trek. They also helped me get some essential supplies that evening. Yoga was very knowledgeable and gave loads of amazing information throughout. Both he and Adriz were so welcoming and friendly, always going the extra mile. I injured my ankle on day two and they were amazing support! The chefs were also lovely and the food was amazing. Fantastic experience!
Highly recommended!

5.00I booked directly through the organizer and also received a direct response. The booking was straightforward and the team was very friendly and helpful from the start. Sumatra Orangutan Treks made you feel immediately welcome. The tour was a wonderful experience. The guides were very nice, helpful and humorous and had an impressive knowledge of the different plants and animals. During the tour you were provided with fresh and delicious food and individual wishes were taken into account. In addition, the team put a lot of effort into seeing as many animals as possible. They were attentive and committed at all times, but nevertheless careful and respectful of the animals and nature. I can only recommend this company!
Just wow, amazing experience

5.00Just wow. We had such a blast. The itinerary was really good, good walking and doing other stuff ratio (still hard tho, some steep hills and different terrain). Our two guides were so lovely and helpful during the whole trip.
Two great days in the jungle

5.00Great experience, saw orangutans and a lot of other wildlife! Yoga and Bam Bam were knowledgeable guides, very nice and with a good sense of humor. The food was great, the evening at the campsite was fun with games while rain was pouring outside. They have a catchy song too! The tubing back to Bukit Lawang was so much fun too; just got in the river and started raining. Perfect! One thing I wish someone mentioned in reviews, that it was a quite strenuous hike. I’m in decent (but not great) shape, and my muscles were cramping at the end of the first day like never before. The hot and humid climate makes you sweat profusely. But it was an excellent experience nonetheless! It’s absolutely worth it!
Saw a baby Orangutan

5.00You should go with this company, if you want to awaited with smiles, laughter and positive energy any time of the day. If you want to experience good local food, if you want to be treated nicely and with respect. If you like to support local community. I give this company 10/10, for me everything was perfect. The only thing they need to do is stay as they are! And I have no doubt they will! Thank you for majestic experience, Klemen.

5.00We spent 2 days and 1 night in the jungle with my girlfriend and Sumatra Orangutan Treks and we loved every bit of the experience. Our guides Joco and Reza were very knowledgeable about the jungle and had a great eye and ear to spot wildlife in the jungle that we wouldn’t have noticed. We saw one Orang Utan mother and her baby on our fast day and other one the next day, walking soo close to us and it was an incredible experience 🙏🏼 We saw gibbons and other monkeys as well. The food provided on all days was delicious, especially the dinner was exceptional and diverse. The campsite was super cozy next to the river. In the end we went tubing back to the village and it was the cherry on the pie of the trip. Don’t think twice, you have to do this!!
