A top day out in the jungle! - We had an amazing time on the jungle trek—it completely exceeded my expectations. The highlight was definitely spotting so many orangutans up close in their natural habitat, which felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The trek itself was well-paced and took us deep into the lush, vibrant rainforest. Halfway through, we stopped for a well-prepared lunch right in the jungle, which included a fresh and delicious fruit platter—such a great touch that really added to the overall experience. To top it all off, we finished the day with river rafting, which was the perfect way to cool down and end on a high note. The guides were excellent—friendly, professional, and clearly very experienced. We felt safe and looked after the entire time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a mix of adventure, nature, and great hospitality.

10/10! - A fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We saw 9 orangutans and plenty of other monkeys and birds. The tour company offered pick up and drop off, were very friendly throughout the day and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely recommend choosing this tour.

Perfect experience! - We had a perfect experience!! It was a memorable and fulfilling day! During the jungle trek we were lucky enough to see multiple orangutans. The team tried their best to make our day special. Team, content, food, weather, everything were above our expectations. We also requested a round trip transportation and it was also worth the price.

Fun jungle trek - Excellent trip to see orangutans. All the arrangements went smoothly and we saw different types on monkey as well as the orangutans. The rafting back to the start point was fun.

Unrestrictedly recommended! - It all worked out wonderfully! Starting with the pick-up at the airport (we were a few hours late), the accommodation and the absolute highlight: the jungle hike! My girlfriend and I were picked up by 2 guides. The pace was always adjusted to our condition and the guides showed and explained to us in very good English fauna and flora. We also had two sightings of female Utah orangs with offspring. Just fascinating these wonderful, peaceful animals. But even without this sighting it would have been an unforgettable day! Also the breaks in which we were spoiled with fruit or nasigoreng our the crowning conclusion - the jungle taxi - have contributed to this! A longer trip is planned for next year!

Challenging but worth it - a really good experience - I had a perfect day and would definitely recommend it, I saw two Orang Utans really close and lots of other monkeys and birds. The trek is challenging and not a walk in the park, so bring good shoes and a basic amount of fitness. Some ways are really steep and can be slippery. The watertaxi and the end was a nice ending to the experience. Would always do it again :)

Lucky trek in the jungle - Our guides were on time, spoke good english and were very knowledgeable about the jungle and what was inside it, they even knew the orangutans by name! The trekking was not rushed and we were allowed to go at our pace to enjoy the views. snacks and lunch were included in generous amounts and were all fresh and tasty. recommended!
