Don’t think twice - You have to do this!! - We 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!!

Our Orangutan Jungle Experience - We celebrated Valentine’s Day in the jungle, and it was the best decision ever. Visiting during the low season meant there were fewer people, but we were still lucky enough to see two orangutans. Our trekking guides, Reza and Joco, were incredibly patient with us the entire time. They helped us navigate some tricky trails and carefully searched for orangutans in the wild. The guides spoke excellent English, so there was no language barrier at all. We saw two female orangutans, one with a baby and another preparing a nest. Just when we were about to wrap up and head down the river for tubing, we spotted another one very close to us. It even walked right past us! The food and service were amazing. We were well-fed throughout the day with morning snacks, breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, and even tea at night. Honestly, nothing beats their hospitality. Hands down to this tour company, and a big shoutout to Reza and Joco for being wonderful guides, and to Dedycool for arranging everything so smoothly. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

Great local houses and guides - Great jungle nevertheless had with accommodation! Jungle trip led by hamet and Azri was fantastic! Good guides with knowledge of the flora and fauna. Accommodation is also advisable, slept very well in a quiet spot outside the village, about 10 minutes by tuk tuk. The tuk tuk can be booked through the staff, who are always friendly at your service. Extra reason to book here: everything is local and here too try their best (no money towards Europe) Thanks for everything! Greetings Wim and Ellen

Jungle boogie - I felt warm and welcomed the moment I was picked up from my bus stop and brought to the hacienda on a motorbike! We had so much fun with Yoga and Azri on our 2 day trek. To top it all off we saw wild orangutans, gibbons and a monitor lizard.

Unbelievable Experience 2D1N trek - My girlfriend and I did the 2 day 1 night trek. It was an amazing experience and we were lucky enough to see 4 orangutans, including a huge lone male; long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques and Thomas’s leaf monkeys. The trek was not crazy difficult but has some sections of steep incline and decline, you earn your right to see the wildlife! The food provided was delicious and came in large portions. The trek ended with tubing down the river back to Bukit Lawang. Our guide for the trek, Erwin, was not only extremely knowledgeable, taking the time to stop and teach us about the flora and fauna in Sumatra and answer our questions, but he was also hilarious and the spirit of our group, we’d like to say a huge thank you to him for making our experience unforgettable. Plus, he came and collected us from our homestay elsewhere in town, dropped us back after the trek, and offered to help us organise our transport to the airport the following day. I can’t fault the guy. Sumatra Orangutan Treks will safe-keep your luggage at their centre during the trek if you aren’t already staying in their accommodation. This was very helpful. We didn’t know they offered accommodation as well as treks, (probably could be made more obvious on the booking site). Erwin told us afterward that there are now some companies running tours which aren’t owned by locals, however use similar company names to blend in. These companies are taking the economy brought to the town by tourism and the locals are the ones who suffer, so do your research on a company you book with them, if it’s not this one.

You won’t regret staying and trekking with this locally owned business - My friend and I stayed and trekked with Orangutan Villa and Sumatra Orangutan Treks. We had a fantastic experience. The entire team is so kind and friendly. We felt like family. Our guide, Ahmed, had over 20 years of experience and all the other guides along the trails looked to him for advice on finding orangutans and other species. Our assistant guide, Agam, was funny and helpful. Everyone spoke great English. The food at the hotel and while trekking was great and even my friend (who is a very picky eater) was happy (thank you Linda!). This is also one of the few locally owned businesses in the area so if you want to support the local community, you should stay here!

Great trip, once in a lifetime! - Yoga and bambang were the best! Great guides and great trip. Well arranged and very good food. With only a two day trip we were able to see many orangutan (8) and even the more rare white and black gibbons! We also encountered families of long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques, and Thomas’s leaf monkeys. With the Sumatran peacock-pheasant, an otter, and a monitor lizard added to the list, the trip couldn’t have been more complete! Thank you!

Amazing to see orangutans. But it seams you do not need multiday trip for that. - It was amazing to see orangutans in their natural habitat. Our guide did everything he could to make us feel comfortable and to give us an unforgettable experience. However, the time at the camp was not a success for us. It is extremely basic: you sleep on the ground on a very poor mattress and eat while sitting on the ground. Washing is done in the river. It felt more like a survival experience. Make sure to bring water shoes or at least very sturdy flip-flops, as you will cross the river many times to get to the camp.Also extra clothes so you can change. If we had known that it was possible to do a one-day trip into the jungle just to see the orangutans, we would have skipped the camping part. We visited Bukit Lawang during the rainy season, and we already found the jungle quite busy with tourists. We were told that during the dry season it can get even more crowded. What was very positive to see is that the area was clean, and we did not see any garbage along the way in the jungle.
