What a wonderful experience!

5.00I 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!

5.00One 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!!!

5.00An 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.
100% worth the travel to Bukit Lawang to see orangutan's in the wild!

5.00We 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!
Best experience of my life

Unforgettable Jungle Trekking Experience in Bukit Lawang 🌿🦧

5.00Our 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.
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Epic adventure in the jungle of Sumatra. We had two very experienced guides with us, who cared a lot about us. Food was amazing during the whole Trek. In the evening we got a full Menu at the camp. In total we saw five Oran Utans, and all other types of monkeys :)
