We organize unique and unforgettable jungle trekking eco tours that help preserve the Gunung Leuser National Park and its endangered orangutans. But we offer more than just traditional trekking experiences.

English-speaking guides are certified by the Indonesia Tourist Guides Association (ITGA-HPI Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia), and they enjoy sharing their knowledge with you while they help keep the Gunung Leuser National Park clean and safe for both humans and animals!

This day tours and activities make a difference in the local community. When you purchase one of our trekking tours, 10% of the proceeds go to children in Bukit Lawang who can’t afford to go to school and single mothers who struggle financially. This money helps the children attend school and eventually find jobs that will allow them to support themselves and their families.

What to expect

At this 1-day ethical jungle trekking you will be picked up at about 9 pm after breakfast at the hotel where you are staying. We cross the Bohorok River and begin the adventure in the jungle. Our goal is to see orangutans, but we also hope to spot other animals. Along the way, the guide shares his knowledge of the animals and plants we pass. If you see something interesting on the tour, feel free to ask the guide what it is.

During the tour, exotic delicious fruits will be served, that are harvested from this region. Around noon we will stop at the “Jungle restaurant” and get a delicious lunch. Afterwards we continue our ethical trekking for a few hours, where we continue to explore the jungle. In the afternoon we arrive at the jungle station where we take the jungle taxi back to your hotel.
