2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek

Incredible experience and extremely well organised - the whole team from reception to the jungle guides trekk were professional, fun, informational, entertaining and we can't wait to come back for a longer trekk. Special shout out to Tyson, Pian and Ram (Jungle Mama) for taking such good care of us in the jungle, and Ijah for an authentic, hospitable and amazing cooking class experience. Bukit lawang - you stole my heart and I cannot wait to be back and experience it all again!

A wonderful adventure discovering the Orangutans. All of this with great guides and in respect of nature. We highly recommend it.

This was an incredible experience, and we got to see 7 orangutans in total - 2 were babies! The guides were so knowledgeable and professional throughout, Dedi and Juan were amazing. They made sure we stayed a safe distance from the orangutans, and always told us where to go if they knew one was in the area. The company even collected us from our transfer and took us to the village on motorbikes as it is inaccessible via car. They did a briefing the day before, and we were kept up to date with everything going on throughout. They did the trek at a pace everybody was comfortable with, and took frequent rests as the weather was really humid in the forest. Overall, we saw hornbills, gibbons, macaques, snakes, and orangutans. The guides also ensured not to feed the orangutans as some other companies were, and they were incredibly aware of an orangutan approaching where we were eating lunch and that we cleared up before they arrived as they mentioned it being unethical giving them our food as it isn’t what they would typically eat in the wild, which was very important for us as we wanted to do this trek as ethically as possible I can’t recommend these guys enough!

Incredible experience, ethical provider and organization. Our guides Dian and Zuan were super nice, funny, and patient (with me who was progressing more slowly), thank you to them!

We had the best experience doing the jungle trek with our amazing and friendly guides Bima and Zaka!! They made sure we were well looked after, safe and we had all the time we wanted looking at lots of wild life in an ethical way. We never felt rushed. The food they prepared for us was of very high quality with lots of different options at night. The trip exceeded our expectations! For sure our highlight of our Sumatra journey! A special shout out to our wonderful main guide Bima who went the extra distance looking after us even after the trek!! Highly recommend this company as well for transport, accomodation, laundry service, cooking course and other excursions like village tour and Barastagi. Everything was well organised and of high quality. The food and drinks in their nice riverside restaurant are very tasty as well. We never wanted to go anywhere else. Thanks to all the smiley,friendly and fun staff we met, who made us feel at home! A special place and people, that we didn’t want to leave!!

5 DAY / 4 NIGHT TREK This was, hands down, one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From the moment I booked directly with the company, the service was impeccable. Dwi was an absolute superstar, providing meticulous details, packing lists, and a seamless, crystal-clear payment plan that left us feeling completely prepared. Everything was organized beautifully. The hotel they arranged for us was gorgeous—I highly recommend staying there the night before your trek to rest up. Once the journey began, we were blown away. On day one alone, we were blessed to see six orangutans! The scenery throughout was simply out of this world. While the trekking is wonderfully challenging, regular refreshing dips in the river were the perfect way to cool off. What truly elevated this trip, though, was the extraordinary team. Our guides, Hari and Erawan, were phenomenal. Safety was their absolute priority, and whenever the terrain got tough, I knew I was in the safest, most capable hands. Beyond their expertise, they kept our spirits high with their fabulous singing! And the food? Absolutely world-class. Our incredibly talented chefs, Ali and Alan, carried all the food and heavy equipment through the jungle for five days straight—a feat of sheer strength I deeply admired. Every single day, we were spoiled with fresh fruit, tea, coffee, and biscuits. Each evening, they would miraculously whip up a massive spread of diverse, delicious dishes. Their hospitality was unmatched. Every afternoon when we arrived at camp, the team immediately served us refreshments by the river before building our bamboo shelters from scratch. Their "guest-first" mentality was present in every single moment. Jungle trekking and camping are inherently rustic, but this team turned it into a 5-star luxury experience. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. It is a core memory that both my son and I will treasure forever.

We had an amazing 2-day/1-night jungle trekking experience! Our guides, Idris and Riki, were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly friendly, always there to help when needed, and had extensive knowledge about the jungle, wildlife, and nature. They made us feel safe throughout the trek and taught us so much along the way. We couldn’t have asked for better guides. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the jungle! 🐒

We stayed in the jungle for one night and two days, and it was amazing. We saw orangutans, lots of monkeys, and met great people from all over who came to Bukit Lawang. Definitely recommend it. Special thanks to Idris (who is more then ready to be a tour guide😉) & Riki!!

We did the 2 day 1 night trek and what an amazing experience ♥️ Our guides, Bob and Ryan, were a joy to be with with and extremely knowledgeable. We saw many primates including Orangutan, Thomas Leaf Monkey and pigtail Macaque. The food was very tasty, thank you chef, and presented beautifully by Ryan. The trek itself was quite challenging at times, be prepared to sweat a lot! Overall, an experience we will not forget!

Really great experience! Sumatra Orangutan Explore involves the entire village of Bukit Lawang in their success (accommodation, cooking classes...), the trek in the jungle is incredible. We saw many orangutans and not just ... They planned to wear light clothing covered for the jungle because it is quite hot. Great atmosphere throughout the village. Thank you to the entire team!
