Had a great time trekking with Sumatra orangutan treks! Saw plenty of orangutan’s and other wildlife, we had Reza and Tamrin as guides and they were brilliant. Very helpful, knowledgeable and polite. The trek itself is very good, very manageable and scenic, would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of booking!

We really recommend this agency for lawang bukit treck. Excellent organization , we had two great experienced guides Ahmed and Raja , they were kind and put us at ease. We felt safe and secure. We had the chance to meet some orangutans as well as other monkeys. Magical moments in an exceptional setting. We did a day of trekking and a return by the river , a fresh and welcome bath after this walk , and the very fun return to the buoys! It was an extraordinary day. Thanks to Ahmed and raja for guiding us.

We did the Sumatra Orangutan 1-Day Trekking Tour and it was an amazing experience! Our guides Wahyu and Zanet were fantastic – very friendly, knowledgeable, and great at spotting wildlife in the jungle. During the trek we were lucky enough to see one male and one female orangutan, which was incredible to witness in their natural habitat. We also saw Thomas leaf monkeys and a few other animals along the way. It was definitely very hot, but still totally doable with some breaks and plenty of water. The food and fresh fruits during the trek were also great. At the end we could relax for a bit in the river, and then enjoy water tubing back to Bukit Lawang, which was a fun way to finish the day. Highly recommended!

We've spent one day in the jungle today and thanks to our talented guides we saw lots of different monkeys and 5 Orang Utans (big male + female with babies). Can't thank the guides enough to make this happen! They were super funny and well organized. We had a lovely lunch and in the afternoon lots of fruits. Floating back the river was the final cherry on top. Can recommend this tour 1000000%. Greets Kristin & Andi

It was simply a perfect day! From the very beginning, we felt welcome and very comfortable. Every single member of this team is incredibly kind and warm-hearted. We were on the tour with Yoga and Bambang and couldn't have been happier with our two guides. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and of course enjoyed the beautiful trekking tour. We were very lucky to see many monkeys and orangutans. The fruit platter and lunch were prepared with a lot of love and were delicious. The rafting tour was also unique and rounded off the day perfectly. The trekking itself is quite physically demanding, so good clothing, endurance, and trekking experience are necessary. The accommodation is great and the food is incredibly delicious. The only downside is that the journey to Bukit Lawang is a bit long and rough, but that's just part of it. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that we can recommend to everyone.
Thank you 🙏😊 so much for your beautiful review 🌿🦧 We’re so happy 😊 to hear that you had a perfect and unforgettable day with Yoga and Bambang!
