Great local operator, professional and with a chill vibe
Trip was super well arranged, we saw orangutans and all sorts of other wildlife. They really know how to make you comfortable: fruits stops, great lunch, dinner by the hut besides the river.. it's a great mix of pain (the long tough hike) and pleasure. Recommended. We did it with our kids and they loved it.

Amazing
Very responsive. Efficient response, quality answers, the tour was fenomenal, and we saw 5 orangutans, including 3 baby orangutans. We saw the hornbill, pig tailed macaque, and Thomas monkey. The tour was amazing, and me and my family enjoyed it very much. It was definitely worth the price as well. The fruits were very fresh, and the food we ate was delicious. Very good. The tour guide, Erwin and Abel was guiding us through the whole thing, explaining to us the different plants, trees and making jokes along the way, truly wonderful. We are definitely coming back.

Had a 2D1N trek with Erwin and Agus as our guides. During the trek they serve you really well with fruit food tea and coffee. They explain about the animals and helped us spot orangutans and many more.
Before the trek we stayed 2 nights in the hotel. The reception, communication, food and drinks were all really good!
Definetely would recommend!

Great trekking
It was a great draw. Amet and Coco were our guides and have taken care of everything for us. Lunch, fruit, dinner everything is arranged on top. They also know the jungle like the back of their hand and have had a lot of attention for our children. They enjoyed it too.
It is important for us that it is also done in a sustainable way with full respect for nature and for the local population. It's a local business, so you really contribute to the local community.
Highly recommended!!

A Life Changing Experience
If anyone is trying to decide which tour operator to go with… there is no better choice than to go with Sumatra Orangutan Treks. Before we even booked, Dedycool helped us so much with any questions we had and explained how everything works. From the moment we arrived at our villa, we were given the biggest welcome and everyone was so friendly. The villa and grounds are so beautiful and peaceful we didn’t ever want to leave! Not to mention the food at their restaurant was some of the tastiest Indonesian food we had honestly ever tried.
The jungle trek - we decided to do 2 days 1 night and we absolutely loved every minute. Our guides Erwin and Janet were brilliant, making sure everyone was okay and safe, preparing us more than enough delicious food in the jungle, explaining the wildlife to us, navigating us through difficult jungle routes - we couldn’t ask for better tour guides. Thank you Erwin and Janet!
We initially decided to go with Sumatra Orangutan treks because of their ethical and eco friendly tours, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. Of course you are seeing the beautiful wildlife in their natural habitat so you can’t guarantee what you see during your trek, but we got so lucky and saw 8 orangutans and loads of monkeys without disturbing their natural habitat … it’s a life changing experience.
This is the company to go with, thank you everyone for making this such an amazing experience we will remember this forever ❤️

What a wonderful experience!
I did the 2D1N trek with them and had an absolute blast. I really loved that the groups were small instead of huge crowds — we were just 2 girls — which made the whole experience feel much more personal and peaceful, and allowed us to truly enjoy the jungle.
They organize everything for you, and I also appreciated how eco-friendly and respectful they are toward nature. Our guides, Yoga and Bambang, were definitely the highlight of the trip — super friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and at the same time very professional. They spoke great English, which made the whole experience even easier and more enjoyable.
The food was also AMAZING. They kept feeding us throughout the entire trip, and there was always so much delicious food — I think we came back from the trek gaining weight!
I also think it’s really important to support local people in Bukit Lawang, so I loved that this is a locally owned company run by local people from the area. Supporting local businesses and communities here truly makes a difference.
This was honestly one of the best activities I’ve joined in a long time. We saw so many orangutans, including a rare male orangutan, plus many other monkeys and wildlife throughout the trek.
I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bukit Lawang!

Thank you 🙏😊 also for supporting local people and local businesses in Bukit Lawang. Your support truly helps our community and motivates us to continue protecting the jungle and wildlife for future generations.
We’re especially happy 😊 that you were able to see so much wildlife, including the rare male orangutan — such a special moment! 🦧

Jungle trek in Bukit Lawang
One of the best experiences of my entire life.
I was apprehensive at first to chose the 2 day over the 1 day but I am so happy that I did. My boyfriend and I were with another couple of similar age (all in our 30s) and we had 2 guides - Arman and Azri. I cannot compliment the guides enough. They were kind, funny, attentive and skilled. Being an ethical tour, nothing is guaranteed, however we were lucky enough to see gibbons, orangutans, macaques, and Thomas leaf monkeys as well as other jungle creatures. We were constantly indulging in delicious food (we are vegetarian and had fruit, rice, egg, tofu, tempeh, biscuits, sandwich’s, tea, pancakes…) and were supplied with lots of water. The jungle accomodation was comfortable and dry - a bamboo hut with mattresses, tarp, mosquito nets, blankets and pillows. Would recommend!!!

Jungle Trek, Jungle Trek in Bukit Lawang!!!
An unforgotteable experience. We spent 2 days trekking the beautiful jungle and being lucky enough to spend the night there. We were extremely fortunate to see what we saw. Arman our tour guide was the most loving, careful and insightful operator. Azri our chef, assistant guide and friend was a joy too. Would highly recommend this tour.
