1 Dag Etisk Djungelvandring i Bukit Lawang på Sumatra
Beskrivning
Vi organiserar unika och oförglömliga ekoturer för djungelvandring som hjälper till att bevara Gunung Leuser nationalpark och dess hotade orangutanger. Men vi erbjuder mer än bara traditionella vandringsupplevelser. Engelsktalande guider är certifierade av Indonesia Tourist Guides Association (ITGA-HPI Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia), och de tycker om att dela sin kunskap med dig samtidigt som de hjälper till att hålla Gunung Leuser National Park ren och säker för både människor och djur! Denna dag gör turer och aktiviteter skillnad i lokalsamhället. När du köper en av våra vandringsturer går 10% av intäkterna till barn i Bukit Lawang som inte har råd att gå i skolan och ensamstående mammor som kämpar ekonomiskt. Pengarna hjälper barnen att gå i skolan och så småningom hitta jobb som gör att de kan försörja sig själva och sina familjer.

I had a super amazing time. My guide Sandy was fantastic, sharing with me his knowledge about the local area and the wildlife. We were also so lucky to see several orangutans, which was a magical experience. The communication from the admin team is excellent. I would greatly recommend this experience. The smooth operation from airport pickup, accommodation and trekking made me feel comfortable as a solo traveller.
Dear Gemma, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊🌿 We’re delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience and felt comfortable and well looked after throughout your journey as a solo traveller. 🦧✨ A special thank you for your kind words about Sandy. We’re so happy that you enjoyed learning about the local area, the jungle, and its incredible wildlife with him. And how lucky to see several orangutans in the wild—those moments really are magical! 🦧💚 We’re also very pleased that our admin team and airport pickup, accommodation, and trekking arrangements all made your trip smooth and stress-free. We always want our guests to feel supported from the moment they arrive until the end of their adventure.

We hope to welcome you back to Bukit Lawang one day! 🌿🦧 Warm jungle regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team
We travelled as a group of six friends and spent 3 days and 2 nights trekking through the jungle with Sumatra Orangutan Trekking, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences of our trip to Indonesia. From the very beginning, everything was very well organised. The communication was excellent, and the whole team was incredibly friendly, helpful and flexible. They made us feel welcome from the first moment and were always available whenever we needed anything. The jungle trek itself was absolutely amazing. We were lucky enough to see orangutans in their natural habitat, as well as many other animals and incredible jungle landscapes. Sleeping in the jungle, having dinner together, waking up surrounded by nature and finishing the adventure with the river rafting were all unforgettable moments. Our guides were fantastic. They were very knowledgeable about the jungle and the animals, but what we appreciated most was their respect for nature and wildlife. They made sure we could enjoy the experience without disturbing the animals, which was very important to us. We also really appreciated all the help with the transportation and our visit to Medan. Everything went smoothly, and the team made the whole journey much easier and more enjoyable for us. But above all, what we will remember are the people. Everyone in the team was incredibly kind, genuine and welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We genuinely felt that they cared about our experience, rather than simply providing a service. If you are planning to visit Bukit Lawang, we 100% recommend Sumatra Orangutan Trekking. If you want an authentic, ethical and unforgettable jungle experience with a fantastic local team, this is definitely the right choice. Thank you so much to the entire team for an incredible adventure and for making our time in Sumatra so special. 🦧❤️🌿 We will never forget these three days! Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dear our jungle friends, Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt review! 🦧❤️🌿 We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your 3-day, 2-night adventure was one of the highlights of your trip to Indonesia. It means so much to know that everything—from the organisation and communication to the jungle trek, camping, wildlife encounters, and river rafting—made your experience so special. We’re especially happy that you appreciated our guides’ knowledge and, most importantly, their respect for the rainforest and its wildlife. We truly believe that seeing animals in their natural environment should always go hand in hand with responsible and respectful tourism. 🌿🦧 It’s also wonderful to hear that our team could help with your transportation and your time in Medan. We always want our guests to feel supported throughout their journey, not just during the trek. And your words about our team mean more than we can say. ❤️ Knowing that you felt genuinely welcomed and cared for is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. Thank you again for trusting Sumatra Orangutan Trekking and for recommending us so warmly. We hope the memories of those three days in the jungle stay with all six of you for many years—and perhaps we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Sumatra someday! 🌴🦧✨ Warm jungle regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team 🌿❤️
We booked the 1-day orangutan trekking tour, including the airport transfer from Medan, and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The transfer from Medan Airport was very well organized and completely hassle-free. We had plenty of space in the car for the two of us during the journey to Bukit Lawang and back. Upon arrival, we received a very warm welcome at the reception and were given a clear briefing about the trekking tour for the following day. Our guest room, located next to the reception, was simple but comfortable. It was equipped with a fan, and the bed was comfortable enough for a good night’s sleep. The room could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly, as the floor was still dusty and our feet became dirty, so we cleaned them before going to bed. Nevertheless, considering the price and the overall service, the accommodation offered good value for money. The trekking tour with Nata and Ijal was the absolute highlight of our trip. We were incredibly lucky to see five orangutans, including the impressive dominant male. Our guides were outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and supportive throughout the entire trek. They made sure we felt safe while also sharing interesting information about the jungle and its wildlife. The lunch was delicious, and we especially enjoyed the fresh tropical fruits. Overall, we had an unforgettable experience and would definitely book with this company again. We highly recommend them to anyone who wants to explore the Sumatran rainforest and see orangutans in their natural habitat. Thank you to the entire team for making this such a memorable adventure!

We’re also glad that you found the accommodation comfortable and good value for money. A very special thank you for your kind words about Nata and Ijal! They will be absolutely delighted to hear your feedback. Their friendliness, knowledge, and care for our guests are exactly what we hope every traveller experiences. And what incredible luck to see five orangutans, including the dominant male, during a one-day trek! 🦧✨ That must have been a truly special encounter. We’re also very happy that you enjoyed the delicious lunch and fresh tropical fruits. 🍉🥘 Our jungle team loves preparing fresh meals for our guests, even in the middle of the rainforest!

We had the most amazing and exciting trip in the jungle. Our guides Sam and Rahmat were super committed and happy to share their knowledge about nature and the animals. They had great respect for the animals in terms of not feeding and keeping a distance so as not to stress the animals. Can only recommend Sumatra Orangutan Trekking if you want an adventurous guided trip with respect for nature and animals. We were lucky to experience the orangutans as well as several other apes and monkey species, birds, snakes and many other animals. Sumatra Orangutan Trekking also handled our transport back to the airport in Medan. Can only recommend this company, as they take care of everything and respond immediately when you write to them. They even made sure that our hotel provided us with some fruit and water, as we had to drive back to the airport early in the morning and therefore could not make it to breakfast at the hotel.
Dear our jungle friend, Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! 😊 We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such an amazing and exciting jungle adventure with us. 🌿🦧 A very special thank you for your kind words about Sam and Rahmat. They will be thrilled to hear your feedback! Their passion for the rainforest, knowledge of the wildlife, and commitment to making every guest feel safe and comfortable are a huge part of what makes our treks so special. We’re especially happy that you appreciated our approach to wildlife. Respecting the animals and their natural environment is at the heart of what we do. We believe orangutans and other wildlife should be observed responsibly, without feeding or getting too close, and we’re proud that this was an important part of your experience. 🦧🌿 It sounds like you were incredibly lucky with the wildlife encounters too—orangutans, other primates, birds, snakes, and so many more species! What an unforgettable experience. We’re also very happy that our team could take care of your airport transfer and the little details that made your journey easier. Making sure you had fruit and water for your early morning departure is exactly the kind of small touch we’re always happy to arrange for our guests. ❤️ Thank you again for choosing Sumatra Orangutan Trekking and for your heartfelt recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to the Sumatran jungle one day for another incredible adventure! Warm jungle regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team 🌿🦧

Amazing trip with Don and his team. Well organized and absolute professional. I can recommend this trekking company. Thks Don again. Brgds Peter
We did a 1 day jungle trek and the village life tour and both were absolutely brilliant!! For the jungle trek, Sam and Ragil were our guides and they were so friendly, fun, and knowledgeable. They made sure we had the best experience ever: seeing three orangutans, eating delicious food and fruit, and learning so much about the jungle. The jungle taxi tubing back to the hotel was hilarious as well! For the village tour, Sandy was our guide and he was equally as lovely and had so much information to share! We saw rice fields, nearby villages, and learnt how to make tofu and tempeh as well as brown sugar. We loved using a tuk tuk to get around as well. What really stood out about Sumatra Orangutan Trekking was their ethical focus, and how passionate all of the guides are about protecting the jungle and not feeding the orangutans etc. I cannot recommend more highly this company nor Bukit Lawang - trip of a lifetime!
Dear Molly, Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review! 😊 We are truly happy to hear that you had such an amazing experience with both the jungle trek and the village life tour. A very special thank you for mentioning Sam, Ragil, and Sandy — they will all be so happy to hear your kind words! Sharing the beauty of the jungle, local culture, and wildlife with our guests is something they are deeply passionate about, and we’re glad they helped make your adventure so memorable. 🦧🌿 We’re so happy you enjoyed seeing the orangutans, learning about the rainforest, tasting delicious jungle food and fresh fruit, and of course the fun jungle taxi tubing ride back to the village! 😊 It’s also wonderful to hear that you loved exploring the local villages, rice fields, and traditional food-making experiences during the village tour. Your words about our ethical approach truly mean the world to us. Protecting the jungle and respecting the wildlife — especially the orangutans — is at the heart of everything we do, so we deeply appreciate your recognition of this commitment. Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing us for your Sumatra adventure. We hope to welcome you back to Bukit Lawang again one day for another unforgettable experience! Warm jungle regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team
We had a great 1 day trek with Nasir & Justin. They were awesome guides and lovely people. We got picked up at our accomodation and driven by scooter to the headquarters where we left on the Trek. Nasir was very knowledgeable about the jungle and very helpful for answering questions. We saw 8 orangutans which was a life highlight. Our guide did not feed the orangutans however there were other guides feeding them, this seemed like it happens often to keep orangutans in one spot for a while so other trekkers are able to come and see them. It was disappointing to see them being fed, but is one way to keep the jungle rather than palm oil plantations. The guides talk to each other on the phone when they find an orangutan and provide directions so others can find it too. We also did a cooking class with Ana and Risky (unsure on the name) which was really fun. Ana's English was limited which made it a bit tricky but we had a fabulous time learning from her, the food was the best we ate during our time in indonesia.
Dear Indigo, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear that you had a great 1-day trek with Nasir and Justin and that you enjoyed your time with them. They will be very pleased to hear your kind words about their knowledge and support throughout the experience. Seeing 8 orangutans is truly incredible—what a special and unforgettable moment! We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the feeding of orangutans. We want to reassure you that we are strongly committed to ethical trekking practices and always aim to observe wildlife in a natural and respectful way without feeding or interfering. Unfortunately, we cannot control the behavior of all other guides in the area, but we continuously promote responsible tourism and proper wildlife interaction. We’re also glad you enjoyed the cooking class! Even with a small language barrier, it’s great to hear that you had fun and that the food was a highlight of your time in Indonesia 😊 Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing your experience so openly. We hope to welcome you back again one day for another adventure! Warm regards, Sumatra Orangutan Trekking Team 🌿🦧
I booked a shared shuttle service from Medan to Bukit Lawang and went on a day tour with them; everything went smoothly. During the hike, I was accompanied with Mas Sandi and Mas Justin, I had the chance to see snakes and Orangutans, and even spotted a mother Orangutan with her baby, so adorable!!! They were very friendly and kind, Mas Sandi explained to me a lot about Orangutan and the National Park itself, and they always made sure I didn't block the Orangutans' path while still placing me in the best position to see them. Then they prepared fresh fruit as a snack during the hike and found the best spot for lunch. There were two trails down, the easiest and the steepest, and I chose the steep one, and thet were very patient, walking at my pace. Oh, on the way down there was a gibbon, but I was too tired to hike anymore, so I skippit it. Overall, this was an amazing experience and also fun (The Boat ride back to the hotel!!!!). Hope to come back again and spend some nights in the forest!!

We’re very happy to hear your kind words about Mas Sandi and Mas Justin. They will be so pleased to know you appreciated their friendliness, knowledge, and care throughout the trek. Making sure our guests enjoy the best wildlife encounters while always respecting the animals and their space is very important to us. We’re also glad you enjoyed the fresh fruit snacks, the lunch spot, and even taking on the steep trail adventure 😊 And of course, the boat ride back is always a fun way to finish the day! Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing your experience. We would love to welcome you back again one day for a longer trek and some magical nights in the forest!
