Cool things to do inSumatra

We had an incredible jungle trekking experience with Bukitlawangtour! Our guide, Tantawi Obiwan, and our helper, Reza, were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were extremely knowledgeable about the jungle and wildlife, and they took wonderful care of us the entire trip — truly real 5-star treatment in the middle of the jungle.Thanks to their expertise, we were able to see both orangutans and gibbons in their natural habitat, which was unforgettable. They made the trek feel safe, exciting, and very enjoyable while sharing so much information along the way.We highly recommend Tantawi Obiwan, Reza, and Bukitlawangtour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable jungle trekking experience in Bukit Lawang!

Tour was great, got to see a wild orangutan up close. We got a full platter of fruit made by our guide Dedek, followed by a delicious lunch. Would definitely recommend to anybody who would like to explore the jungle and see the wildlife.

I can't recommend this trip enough. Both guides (Rifan and Rama) were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.The trek was hard going on the way up - a decent level of fitness is definitely required. The journey down was even harder. Lots of long steep steps, a few experiences of abseiling (slight exaggeration but very close). The rubber tubing down was relaxing although watch out for the rocks on the bottom of the shallow river at some points.All in, a long and exhausting day, but worth it to see all the orangutans and monkeys in their natural habitat

Good trip- managed to see quite a few orangutans in their habitat with IG worthy fruit platter! Ended off with a relaxing tube raft back.

After a drive from our hotel in Medan, we were greeted by our friendly guide. He briefly described our day in the jungle. Throughout the journey, he played his full guiding role. It's reassuring when you're not used to jungle treks 😉🌞 We were very lucky because we were able to observe orange-outs and other monkeys close to us several times 🐒 After an excellent snack and unlimited fresh fruit, this trek ended with a refreshing rafting🌬️💦 that brought us back to our starting point. In short, an excellent day well organized. Great 👍

Excellent local people and helpful throughout even more than they should. Thanks to everyone especially to the leader and guide, good food and they brought us our suitcases to the hotel and also arranged us the shuttle airport.

The trip with our both tour guides Haikal and Rizky was so amazing. We saw 5 Orang Utans in 6 hours, which is pretty incredible. We had much fun and they even helped us to organize a taxi from Medan. Overall the experience was amazing and also quite cheap compared to other companies. Can only recommend this spot and the nice people!!!

I had an amazing experience on the Bukit Lawang Full Day Trekking Tour! The journey from Medan to Bukit Lawang took about 3.5 hours, leading to the stunning Gunung Leuser Nationalpark. The jungle was breathtaking, with incredible wildlife like orangutans, gibbons, and Thomas leaf monkeys. My guide was knowledgeable, spoke great English, and shared fascinating insights about the flora and fauna. The 4–6 hour trek was exciting, with a delicious jungle picnic and a refreshing swim at a hidden waterfall. The optional tube rafting down the Bohorok River was a fantastic finale. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

This was an amazing tour. The tour operator was so kind. He helped to arrange a taxi for us from the airport to the eco lodge and back the next day! My friend and I had a great time with the tour guides Selamat and Joe. They were very knowledgable, funny, and helped us with the trickier parts of the hike. Highly highly recommend!

Absolutely incredible, saw so many orangutans, the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable and we got to river tube back!

I booked a day trip from Medan. The driver was early and waiting for me. He spoke basic English but we used google translate to communicate.Arriving at the destination, everything was well prepared and we started. The guides took the group of 3 people through the most beautiful areas.The two guides showed us orangutans that some other guides didn’t see. They are hilarious, well spoken and very knowledgeable.They prepared lunch with fruit. Raincoats were also readily available when the afternoon rains came. They sang songs and made many jokes.Safety is top priority and they really look after guests well.An applause to Darabi and Haikal, the best tour guides I’ve experienced in Indonesia!The company boss is pleasant and easy to communicate with!Thank you to the entire team, owner, driver and most especially the guides for a perfect day out!

For the time I had in the jungle I got lucky to see a few orangutans, gibbons, macaques, and monitors. Be prepared to get wet, first from sweat and then from tubing down the river. (Which is the perfect way to cool off) The guides were very helpful and the overall day was well spent.

I had a great day trekking in the jungle with BL-tour. My guide was fantastic and was able to offer me some great tips and explanations of the rainforest.

Perfect, the guide Amri was very nice and I saw various urang oetans and went rafting! I would recommend everybody to go it is amazing!

It was an incredible experience. The guide was very qualified and help us navigate in the jungle, we took some kind of hard path but it was worth it, we saw no more than 8 orang-outans during the day !!A peacock and some black gibbons too !Huge thanks to Bukit Lawang tour, Dieki the owner and his wife, an amazing experience that we will never forget.

I went with Amri and Agus as guides and we had a great time. We saw several Orangutans, white gibbons, black gibbons etc. and i really enjoyed this tour. Wouod recommend it to everyone
