Excursion privée d'une journée à Bukit Lawang Trekking depuis Medan

Scam trip/vexing money. Waste of your time

Pickup from the hotel in quality car spot on time. My guide was Kian Lesmana, very knowledgeable and very good English to be your perfect guide for this private tour where we saw a lot of wild life . During the tour I got amazing fresh fruit and afterwards lunch. Highly recommendable and I’m very pleased this is a local business. Good job for this awesome day! Keep going!

Sorry for the late reaction: we already had this tour in January 2025. We remember this day as a very successful tour with two young friendly guides who led us safely through the jungle. And we've been able to see the orangutans up close. As a keepsake, one of the guides also gave us a self-carved face of an orangutan. Also the lunch in the jungle was very well catered for. The last part of the tour was a fun route over the fast flowing river. Before we went up the river there was a rest moment with lots of tasty fruit.

It's a great experience , get to see the orangutans, I was very lucky. Rifan our guide was amazing , he explains a lot about the area and the orangutans, they provide a nice lunch and the best fruit table, thanks

A beautiful walk and discovery in the jungle. We had 2 guides with us: Aldi and Randy Randy spoke very good English and Aldi was very caring. He walked behind us to keep an eye on us and he also looked after the bags when we went deeper into the jungle with Randy. We saw all the attacks in the jungle and also saw 2 toucans flying. We swam in the river next to the jungle and rafting was also very nice What an adventure!

It was good trip to trek to Bukit Lawang national park. Luckily, I could meet 10 orangutans during trekking. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed the trekking until the very end. Sorry I forgot the guide's name, but he was a very good guide.

No show. No one picked us up. No response from the operator, we tried calling, texting, WhatsApp, our JW Marriott manager attempted to help...nothing. I guess paying in advance & getting a confirmation means nothing to this tour operator. It really sucks to wake up early & prepare yourself for a 12 hour tour and they simply don't show up.

It was a top experience. Our guides were experts and none skipped a plant or animal. At everything a fantastic explanation of smell taste experience. The lunch was also super prepared and certainly made with a lot of love. In short, do it! And by the way, we saw the primal primaries and that was our goal. Really wow!

The best tour with the best guides I’ve ever had! Without exaggerating, our guide was the loveliest you could hope for. He was incredibly attentive, caring, and seemed to have some great connections. When we arrived at the jungle, we spotted a female orangutan within just 5 minutes. After she settled in a tree that wasn’t easy to see, our guide managed to get information about a male orangutan about 20 minutes into the jungle, even before anyone else knew about it, despite there being over six other groups around us. Seeing the male orangutan in all his glory was incredible, and our guide knew their behavior so well. We were one of the few groups who stayed ahead of the male, no matter where he went. About 80% of the other tourists only got to see his back. I had my video camera with me, and our guide adjusted the tour to help us get the best shots possible. At times, I had to zoom out just to fit more than the orangutan’s head in the frame! Both the orangutans and our guide were so calm, I never felt fear—just pure joy and excitement. Our guide was not only experienced with the animals, but also with handling tourists. He challenged us with a brisk pace, but it was completely worth every drop of sweat. It never felt like he was pushing us too hard—it was like he understood our physical limits better than we did. After he saw that we treated the animals with care and respect, he allowed us to get close, but always kept us at a safe distance. At one point, a female orangutan climbed just two meters above my head. She glanced down at me, but continued on to grab some nearby food. It was magical to see these creatures in the wild. I think we saw four or five different orangutans, and it wasn’t just brief encounters—we had over three hours of contact with them. After the hike, we took a raft back, which was perfect because we didn’t have to walk anymore. Before that, we enjoyed a refreshing dip in the river, which was just what we needed to relax. For the rafting, I had a 40L dry bag for my cameras, but they packed everything tightly in plastic bags. In the end, my dry bag didn’t get a single drop of water on it during the trip downriver. I was very grateful for that! It was a mesmerizing experience, and our guide was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I’m already thinking about when I can come back, maybe for a longer tour. And as if all the positive things weren’t enough, there’s more. We had a private driver transport us from our hotel in Medan to the national park and back, and our guide even provided us with delicious Indonesian rice. Everything was taken care of, making the entire trip hassle-free. Everyone involved went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience—and they succeeded. I think it’ll be a long time before I find anything comparable to this!

Ucok Sirait was a fantastic guide. He reached out the day before and checked I was aware of the timings and had his contact number in case of any problems - pretty essential basic stuff, but clearly reading the other reviews this does not always happen! Overall it was a great day walking through the rainforest to see the orangutans and other monkeys/wildlife. Ucok is very knowledgeable and happy to share his insight into everything from rubber plants through to ants!
