• 5Great local operator, professional and with a chill vibe

  Trip was super well arranged, we saw orangutans and all sorts of other wildlife. They really know how to make you comfortable: fruits stops, great lunch, dinner by the hut besides the river.. it's a great mix of pain (the long tough hike) and pleasure. Recommended. We did it with our kids and they loved it.

• 5Amazing

  Very responsive. Efficient response, quality answers, the tour was fenomenal, and we saw 5 orangutans, including 3 baby orangutans. We saw the hornbill, pig tailed macaque, and Thomas monkey. The tour was amazing, and me and my family enjoyed it very much. It was definitely worth the price as well. The fruits were very fresh, and the food we ate was delicious. Very good. The tour guide, Erwin and Abel was guiding us through the whole thing, explaining to us the different plants, trees and making jokes along the way, truly wonderful. We are definitely coming back.

• 5Definetely would recommend!

  Had a 2D1N trek with Erwin and Agus as our guides. During the trek they serve you really well with fruit food tea and coffee. They explain about the animals and helped us spot orangutans and many more. Before the trek we stayed 2 nights in the hotel. The reception, communication, food and drinks were all really good! Definetely would recommend!

• 5A Life Changing Experience

  If anyone is trying to decide which tour operator to go with… there is no better choice than to go with Sumatra Orangutan Treks. Before we even booked, Dedycool helped us so much with any questions we had and explained how everything works. From the moment we arrived at our villa, we were given the biggest welcome and everyone was so friendly. The villa and grounds are so beautiful and peaceful we didn’t ever want to leave! Not to mention the food at their restaurant was some of the tastiest Indonesian food we had honestly ever tried. The jungle trek - we decided to do 2 days 1 night and we absolutely loved every minute. Our guides Erwin and Janet were brilliant, making sure everyone was okay and safe, preparing us more than enough delicious food in the jungle, explaining the wildlife to us, navigating us through difficult jungle routes - we couldn’t ask for better tour guides. Thank you Erwin and Janet! We initially decided to go with Sumatra Orangutan treks because of their ethical and eco friendly tours, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. Of course you are seeing the beautiful wildlife in their natural habitat so you can’t guarantee what you see during your trek, but we got so lucky and saw 8 orangutans and loads of monkeys without disturbing their natural habitat … it’s a life changing experience. This is the company to go with, thank you everyone for making this such an amazing experience we will remember this forever ❤️ Ash & Libby x

• 5What a wonderful experience!

  I 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!

• 5Jungle trek in Bukit Lawang

  One 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!!!

About Medan

Medan is the largest city on Sumatra, a trading hub with a sultan's palace, a grand mosque, Chinese mansions and the road to Lake Toba and Bukit Lawang.

Medan is the capital of North Sumatra and the biggest city on the island, a trading centre that grew rich in the late 19th century on tobacco and rubber plantations. The legacy is a mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Batak communities and of colonial architecture. The Maimun Palace, built for the Sultan of Deli at the end of the 19th century, has yellow Malay-style walls with Mughal and European touches, and the Great Mosque of Medan, with its black dome, stands nearby.
