    The best trek in the village and our money went to a good cause

    This was the highlight of our south east Asia trip. The guides were very knowledgeable, had great English and really looked after us. We saw 8 orangutans and 2 of those were babies. We also saw gibbons and Thomas leaf monkeys. Very professional and caring business and actually do a lot of good from what we saw, unlike the usual green-washing we saw on our travels.

    A wonderful experience

    A fantastic experience in the hands of two terrific guides. They looked after us superbly and cooked us some amazing food in the jungle. They found us six beautiful orangutans to observe and the river ride back to the village was hilarious!

    Best Ethical Trekking Company

    We discovered Hotel Orangatan through a quick google search because we were in Medan and we decided to contact them randomly and we really lucked out! Since contacted them everything has been so easy and everyone so nice. They arranged a ride for us from our hotel and the next day we did the 2 day 1 night trek. Our guide was Raja and he was so knowledgeable and passionate about ethical trekking. He spoke very good English and answered all our questions thoroughly and shared so much information with us. Our cook and was Ari and he super friendly and made us very delicious food and made us feel very welcome once we got to camp. We definitely didn’t think we would be eating that much or that well on a jungle trek! We saw 6 orangutans, Thomas monkeys, macaques, birds, a turtle, a monitor lizard, and fireflies. It felt really good to see all this wildlife while being with people who really respect it and never push the boundaries. The raft out was also super fun! For not coming to Indonesia super prepared for an overnight hike, these guys made it really easy for us and knocked it out of the park! Couldn’t recommend more!! Hotel Orangutan is definitely the place to go to if you’re coming out this way!

    Amazing trek with Hotel Orangoutan & Andra

    I had such an amazing time on the trek with Andra. Andra is so passionate about his region, so knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife but also such a funny guy that will make you smile the whole time! For lunch, his mom made us a nasi goreng that was the best I ever had in the region!!! Thank you to hotel orangoutan and their lovely staff, we will come back!!

    2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.

    How much does 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medan is not rushed.

    Is 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medan and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Medan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Medan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Day Ethical Orangutan Jungle Trek | Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, 2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek, Monkey Business 3 days - 2 nights Jungle trekking (including rafting). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Medan?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Medan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan?

    +

    Included: Guide fee; Snacks; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Private transportation; IDR700,000 per car each way from the airport; and IDR600,000 per car each way from Medan. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 27 listed pickup locations in and around Medan. Be ready about 1440 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 2 Day Orangutan Jungle Trek from Not-For-Profit Hotel Orangutan wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
