Amazing and ethical organization!! - Wow, what an experience! This is my fourth month traveling in south-east Asia and by far the most amazing tracking I’ve done. Our guides (Bob and Fabian) showed us the jungle and Anto cooked us 3 times a day a delicious meal. Between the meals we had the best fruit platters I’ve ever seen. Chapeau for the organization!!! During the hike, Bob told us many different things about the jungle and how to respect it. It was clear to see how much Bob and Fabian love the jungle and their excitement was very contagious. They showed us the best angles to see the Orangutangs while keeping distance. They really respected those animals. Like Bob said: “The jungle doesn’t need humans to survive, but humans need the jungle. We need to respect it”. Thank you so much Bob, Fabian and Anto for this unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience in the jungle!!! - This experience was amazing!!! The 2 of us were led by Bob, Fabian and cook Anto. They did such an amazing job by explaining everything about the jungle. They tried to give us the best shots of the animals while being respectful and keeping distance. I think it’s beautiful to see how they know and love the jungle and how they show that to us. We had the best time and this is definitely one of my highlights of my 4 months trip through SE asia. I would definitely recommend this organisation and especially these amazing guides who make fun, know english, and most of all love the jungle! I had the best time, thank you sooo much!!!

The best tour ever in Bukit lawang! - This tour was amazing! Everything was organized so well. Our tour guides Jerry en Noval were the extremely helpful and new a lot about Bukit Lawang. They made sure we had an amazing experience. Also they really care about the nature and animals, treat it with a lot of respect. The cook, Erwin, made us great meals in the middle of the jungle. We had the best adventures ever, the best tour ever! We had so much fun, enjoyed every minute. Would recommend so much. Also they helped us with everything around the tour, like accommodation (which was very nice) and if you need it transfer or pick up from bus station.

Experience the rainforest perfectly - That was a wonderful experience. We experienced the Jungle very intensely. You should bring some fitness. The rainforest has no flat straight roads... I was very surprised by the many super delicious foods. Unbelievable what is possible in the Jungle with relatively simple means. I hope I find an opportunity to come back here again! 😀

Simply a great experience! - I wanted to do a four days trek in low, season and they were the only ones who offered it. Our guides Amri and Roji were super fun guys and very knowledgeable about the jungle. Silent king of the trip was our cook though, who provided rich and delicious meals in the middle of the jungle (I'm still curious how exactly that works..). All in all, I had a great time!

Amazing 3D2N in the Jungle - To get the full experience we spent 2 nights in the Jungle. Our guides provided us with plenty of food as a source of energy. Although the trekking is strenuous due to the temperature and the mountains, the guides adjust the pace to suit us and take enough breaks. During the trek we saw lots of animals such as monkeys, orangutans, a snake and a turtle. In general, the atmosphere was very pleasant. At the end we even got an orangutan carved out of stone as a souvenir made by the guides. We did the trek at the end of October/beginning of November, in the rainy season. It only rained in the afternoon and at night, when we had already arrived at the camp. The advantage is that there are fewer tourists at this time of year. And being in the rain in the rainforest was an experience.

Unforgettable experience - We were able to book a tour with this organization last minute and we really liked it. We were picked up from the airport and warmly received at the organization. The guides speak good English and there is plenty of food during the trek. 100% recommended. Special thanks to our guides Brem and Nata

Exceptional jungle trekking - We did the 3 days - 2 nights trek with this company and it was great. They were very responsive on WhatsApp, the organization was top and easy. We did various activities, very well eaten and obviously saw orangutans. Our guides: Naufal and Ibnu were exceptional, passionate people and very friendly. Thanks to the rest of the team (Novak, Ekong etc) for their good mood and the atmosphere they brought during our stay. We highly recommend doing this trek, a big thank you for this: Jungle trek in Bukit Lawang Thank you!!

Great experience:) highly recommended 🦧 - My friend and myself wanted to have the experience of feeling the jungle with the orangutans. We couldn’t have a better experience!! We did 1 night in the jungle and it was great! Our two guides (Diego and Amri) were taking care of us all the time, they know the jungle (and the animals) very well so it was very easy to enjoy all the nature and the full experience. One night in the jungle is okay to get a light feeling of the experience but I’d probably do more nights if I come another time! Thank you again, we really loved it 🤗
