• 3I had come from Medan 4...

  I had come from Medan 4 hours so I arrived at park entrance 5 minutes after 1, but they had left, so I then had another guide, it was a silent tour no speaking as the guide didn't speak English, and no lunch or food and we saw 2 orangutan and 1 monkey, it was 3 hour trek, the tube back was good and the best part, the tour cost €75, because it was only 3 hours and I paid 7 he offered for me to go the next day but I had to leave for medan

• 5Best Orangutans trekking

  We had an incredible jungle trekking experience with Bukitlawangtour! Our guide, Tantawi Obiwan, and our helper, Reza, were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were extremely knowledgeable about the jungle and wildlife, and they took wonderful care of us the entire trip — truly real 5-star treatment in the middle of the jungle. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to see both orangutans and gibbons in their natural habitat, which was unforgettable. They made the trek feel safe, exciting, and very enjoyable while sharing so much information along the way. We highly recommend Tantawi Obiwan, Reza, and Bukitlawangtour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable jungle trekking experience in Bukit Lawang!

• 5Great Tour

  Tour 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.

• 5Hard work but 100% worth it

  I 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

• 5Wonderful day with the locals and Orang Utans

  The 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!!!

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.
