5.00Tour was great, got to see a wild orangutan up close. We got a full platter of fruit made by our guide Dedek, followed by a delicious lunch. Would definitely recommend to anybody who would like to explore the jungle and see the wildlife.
Hard work but 100% worth it

5.00I can't recommend this trip enough. Both guides (Rifan and Rama) were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The trek was hard going on the way up - a decent level of fitness is definitely required. The journey down was even harder. Lots of long steep steps, a few experiences of abseiling (slight exaggeration but very close). The rubber tubing down was relaxing although watch out for the rocks on the bottom of the shallow river at some points. All in, a long and exhausting day, but worth it to see all the orangutans and monkeys in their natural habitat

5.00After a drive from our hotel in Medan, we were greeted by our friendly guide. He briefly described our day in the jungle. Throughout the journey, he played his full guiding role. It's reassuring when you're not used to jungle treks 😉🌞 We were very lucky because we were able to observe orange-outs and other monkeys close to us several times 🐒 After an excellent snack and unlimited fresh fruit, this trek ended with a refreshing rafting🌬️💦 that brought us back to our starting point. In short, an excellent day well organized. Great 👍
Fantastic people

5.00The trip with our both tour guides Haikal and Rizky was so amazing. We saw 5 Orang Utans in 6 hours, which is pretty incredible. We had much fun and they even helped us to organize a taxi from Medan. Overall the experience was amazing and also quite cheap compared to other companies. Can only recommend this spot and the nice people!!!
Just do it :)

5.00I had an amazing experience on the Bukit Lawang Full Day Trekking Tour! The journey from Medan to Bukit Lawang took about 3.5 hours, leading to the stunning Gunung Leuser Nationalpark. The jungle was breathtaking, with incredible wildlife like orangutans, gibbons, and Thomas leaf monkeys. My guide was knowledgeable, spoke great English, and shared fascinating insights about the flora and fauna. The 4–6 hour trek was exciting, with a delicious jungle picnic and a refreshing swim at a hidden waterfall. The optional tube rafting down the Bohorok River was a fantastic finale. Highly recommended for nature lovers!
The Best Jungle Trek!

5.00This was an amazing tour. The tour operator was so kind. He helped to arrange a taxi for us from the airport to the eco lodge and back the next day! My friend and I had a great time with the tour guides Selamat and Joe. They were very knowledgable, funny, and helped us with the trickier parts of the hike. Highly highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible,...

5.00I booked a day trip from Medan. The driver was early and waiting for me. He spoke basic English but we used google translate to communicate. Arriving at the destination, everything was well prepared and we started. The guides took the group of 3 people through the most beautiful areas. The two guides showed us orangutans that some other guides didn’t see. They are hilarious, well spoken and very knowledgeable. They prepared lunch with fruit. Raincoats were also readily available when the afternoon rains came. They sang songs and made many jokes. Safety is top priority and they really look after guests well. An applause to Darabi and Haikal, the best tour guides I’ve experienced in Indonesia! The company boss is pleasant and easy to communicate with! Thank you to the entire team, owner, driver and most especially the guides for a perfect day out!
