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.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your trekking experience with Suria Darma, Eka, and the team. Our guides always do their best to support and take care of every guest, so we’re glad they could help you and your husband during the trek. We’re also pleased that you enjoyed the fruit buffet, the meals, and the overall experience in the jungle. Thank you again for your trust and kind words. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
it was an amazing experience and we were able to see orangutan's which was so special. definitely recommend, however the trekking can be hard! was so much fun though!
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! :))
A very nice tour done in jungle in Bukit Lawang and the people were very enthusiastic and caring for us. It was super beautiful and really a bucket list activity. You do need to be in good basic condition.
Nice trip if you are in bukit lawang. Definitely recommended. It's quite an experience and definitely something you won't do so soon.
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.
When you think of Indonesia, Bali usually comes to mind... but this experience must be lived. A very professional organization, very prepared guides, and especially a jungle that offers a different trekking. Being able to see an orangutan a few feet away is great. In addition to many other animals in their natural habitat. Highly recommended
We had a great trip both Ian and Amara, they were both amazing guides and friendly knowledgeable people about not just the jungle but Indonesia as a whole! There is so much to see and do not worry you will see lots of monkeys!The food was great and there was loads of it you will never go hungry definitely recommend!!!!
one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. The views were amazing and the tour guides were super friendly and accommodating!! 10/10, would recommend to friends and family in the future.
