A lifetime experience I never forgot

Our guide Nang Nang and his assistant Eko have done their best to join us. I was with my wife and we loved to be treated calmly and with respect and not be seen as tourists and consumers. The hike through the jungle was amazing, we saw a lot of Urangutan up close and a lot of other things like a very large turkey-like bird and hornbill. The food that was made for us was very tasty and clean we got mineral water to drink and lots of fruit.

Absolutely amazing! You must go!

Everything about this experience was nothing short of amazing. Our guides Nang Nang and Randy were phenomenal. They went at our pace and made sure to ask what we wanted to see and do and made sure we got to see everything. We saw so many orangutans and many other monkeys and we even got to see hornbills! We had so much good food and way more than we could ever eat. Bang Bang was an excellent cook. Everyone was thoughtful and made sure we were taken care of and had a great time. 100% would recommend!!

Safe and Fun expirence

Me and a friend went on three days (two nights) jungle trek. We are two 19 year old girls from Norway and had a very good experience. We felt safe and we got lots of help from the staff like Bimbo, Geo, Eka. I was afraid of snakes, but we saw no one saw not each afraid to encounter many.

Life time experience trekking and seeing wildlife!

I'm a solo traveler from the States. This was a wonderful experience trekking in the jungle! It was definitely harder than I was expecting even after reading other reviews. Saw mom and baby orangutan, several different kinds of monkey. The guides were amazing and the customer service is excellent. The food was delicious and the accommodation at camp was comfortable. And you have to do the rafting, it was so fun! I was well taken care of, highly recommend Monkey Business as a tour company!

Magic jungle trekk!

Really good experience with nice guides. We saw orangutangs on multiple occations. Nang Nang and Dedy made our trip really great with a lot off laughter. We got spoiled with great food and fruit. It was tough and sweaty but a great experience with fantastic magic tricks and hard riddles! Nora, Christine and Micael🤘

Very nice experience

Just returned from a fantastic trekking experience. Bimboo and Riski lead us safely along the tracks. It was going up and down quite a bit and will get quite tiered. But there the stops with nicely arranged fresh fruit allowed to recover. Once arrived at the camp where Sukri already prepared our accommodation and nice Indonesien food, we could relax and cool down in the clear water of the river.

Recommended experience

An amazing and very well organized experience, I took this Tour thanks to TripAdvisor reviews and it really does not disappoint, we have been very well cared for and accompanied all the time, the food, amazing and quite comfortable to be sleeping in the jungle, of course people who are not used to life in those conditions, could opt for the option of a night, but they could miss seeing more animals, I have to mention our guide Nanang, who takes care of us very well and who was also very fun, also thanks to the bang bang cook, prepared dishes and very varied. In general, I highly recommend the excursion and especially do it with this Enterprise.

Pinch me! This was the most amazing trip ever

This was the most amazing once in a lifetime experience! We saw SO much on this trip, it far exceeded our expectations we saw orangutans within 20 minutes of the first day! There weren’t many groups out and sometimes we even saw the orangutans alone with no other groups. As a group of vegetarians we were worried about the food but we got a huge variety of meals, including tofu, tempeh, curry, fruit and sweet treats. The guides were helpful, followed our pace and cared for us, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. They were very positive and had great jokes and tricks. Nang Nang, eka, Darhma and Bang bang were a dream team! The organiser geo was also fantastic and made sure we knew all we needed about our trip assuring us of all details.

3 Amazing days in the jungle!

All together it waa an amazing experience hosted by a great team. We saw alot of animals and had great hiking routes in the jungle. We went for the oerang utangs and we saw alot of them, big, small or even the little ones! The nights at the camps were also very nice, played games with the guides and also got to know them. Our experience was partly so great due to the amazing effort of Marwan, Kamal, Dedi!

Really authenticate

Really authentic experience. These are routes along complicated roads, in the middle of the jungle, always with a guide, who brings the food with him. In our three days we got to see 11 orangutans, some really close (within reach). Home-cooked food. Sleeping places aren’t the most comfortable if you’re light sleepy, but I don’t see how it can be otherwise living the same experience in the middle of the jungle. Combine walking along the river and back on floats along the river.

Operator response

Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the jungle adventure and had the chance to see so many orangutans up close. We also appreciate your understanding of the simple conditions in the jungle — it’s all part of the authentic experience. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure with Monkey Business Tours. Kind regards, Monkey Business Tours
