Bukit Lawang Private Jungle Trek and River Tubing Tour

12 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Begin your adventure with a private guide who will lead you into the "veins" of the rainforest. Experience an intimate connection with the wild as you explore the jungle at your own pace.

Master the art of quiet tracking to increase the odds of seeing wildlife in their most natural, undisturbed state. Observe the behavior, nesting habits, and life of the Sumatran orangutan in the high canopy.

Navigate trails that offer the best chances to spot Thomas leaf monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, and other exotic wildlife away from the noise. Enjoy a traditional Indonesian feast served on banana leaves in a secluded jungle spot—a moment of pure authenticity under the cathedral of trees.

Conclude your adventure with a splash as you glide down the crystal-clear Bahorok River on a tube, the ultimate "jungle taxi" ride back to the village while soaking in the riverside views.
