5.00Nusan is an experienced guide who will take you to the summit easily. He knows where to go to get the best views and will show you interesting things such as plants or various parts of the crater. In addition, you can ask him to take you to other places in the vicinity, such as foothills of Mount Sinabung including the abandoned village.

The Ultimate Stress-Free Adventure with Nusan!

5.00We had an incredible private tour with Nusan! He took care of every single detail, making the entire experience completely stress-free and memorable. Nusan was incredibly adaptable to our schedule and handled all the seamless arrangements—from visiting the elephants in Tangkahan to trekking into the jungle of Bukit Lawang to see the orangutans. To end our tour, he took us to see the sunrise at Mount Sibayak and even prepared tea for us at the summit while we watched the sun come up. Nusan even invited us to his home for a delicious, home-cooked vegetarian dinner. If you are looking for a thoughtful, organized, and locally-owned guide service, we highly recommend him!

5.00Overall, our experience with Nusan was exceptional. He is a handsome, humble and highly knowledgeable guide who genuinely cares for his clients. Throughout the hike, he ensured our safety, provided food and hot drinks, and never once left anyone behind. His storytelling about history and nature added so much value to the journey, and he always knew when to give us encouragement or a well-timed rest stop. On top of that, he is a sincere person who never asks for payment, entertains with humour, and surprises us with unique forest ‘magic’, including special plants and wild berries. With his professionalism, warmth, and dedication, Nusan truly made our Gunung Sibayak adventure unforgettable.

5.00Guider Abg Nusan is an exceptionally professional and dedicated guide. He is not only handsome and friendly, but also very caring and always ensures the safety and comfort of his clients throughout the Gunung Sibayak hike. Nusan never leaves his clients behind, prepares food and hot drinks, and shares fascinating knowledge about history and nature along the trek. He is attentive to his clients’ condition, offers encouragement, and provides timely pit stops whenever we look tired. A professional photographer who provided high-quality lenses and priceless memories for all of us. He is not calculative and never asks for payment, always working with genuine sincerity. Throughout the journey, he entertained us with jokes and fun stories. He even performed a little magic trick with a forest flower, and showed us various interesting things such as the ‘wind-oil’ leaf, wild raspberries, and many more. His humble attitude, extensive knowledge, and strong commitment truly made our hiking experience enjoyable and memorable. very recommendedddddd 👍💓
