• 5Extra bagus tour with monkey business

  Everything was super smooth, from booking, to airport pickup to everything else. The activity only has one room available so for every tour they will only take you. The guides are very polite and funny and will take their time to make sure you enjoy the experience. The food is also very good for those who enjoy lokal indonesia warung. Despite the heavy rain on the second say we still managed to see the urangs upclose. The hike itself is very beautiful and a bit demanding. You better buy shoes locally for the hike; they stick well to the mud. If you like adventure and wildlife i would really recommend the experience. And monkey business tour is an excelent choice. I would really recommend it

• 5Wonderful unforgettable experience.

  We have a main guide, Suria Darma, and 2 assistants, guides in training. They are all very good, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There were 5 in the group. 3 young chaps from UK and my husband and I, the 2 seniors in our 68 and 73. Probably 2/3 of the way, I was exhausted from the humidity, non-stop sweating from the start. Eka, an assistant, was very kind and helped me a lot by holding my hand through steep climbs and steep downhill and offered his walking stick. Suria, also helped me with my backpack, and also later also helped my husband with his heavy backpack as both of us were running out of energy. When we ran out of water, they shared their water with us. Without them, I do not think we can make it. We were surprised with a 6 star fruit buffet in the middle of the jungle trekking prepared by the 3 guides followed by a delicious lunch. Meal at camp was great, cooked onsite. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

• 5Best time ever 🤠

  This two-day tour exceeded my expectations so much; it was truly perfect. Our guide, Bimbo, and our assistant, Eka, are the funniest and warmest people; I haven't laughed so much in ages. They are also true gentlemen who fulfill every wish with love and a smile. The food also surprised me, as there was so much of it, and it was such high quality, especially for jungle food. Our sleeping quarters were lovingly prepared and, for the jungle, a real luxury. With a mosquito net, it was absolutely perfect, and we slept soundly. We saw everything we wanted to see in the jungle, which, of course, is always a matter of luck since the jungle isn't a zoo, but we were very lucky. Our driver, who picked us up from the airport, also gave us the best ride ever by taking us to a wonderful food stop and telling us so much :) If you want to learn something, I would highly recommend this tour, as the guide speaks excellent English and taught us a great deal. 120€ is such a fair Price for what they offer (at the end even a funny rafting is included) I would do it again in a heartbeat! :))

• 5Good people.

  Almost too much good food to eat. We saw many monkeys, birds, and orangutans, of course. They said we were lucky but there were so many that I’m sure every group will see some. Our guides, Bimbo, Dadi, and Sukhi, were very good people—friendly, interesting, and dedicated to the experience we wanted to have.

  Fantastic trip and trek with the Monkey Business people. They were so kind and helpful along the way. Made sure we had every opportunity to see orangutans. Food was also fantastic, we ate like Kings and Queens! Would highly 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.
