Trek 2 day/1night
We had an amazing 2-day, 1-night trekking experience! The transfer from the airport to the trekking location was very well organised, with a private driver. The accommodation and the restaurant where we ate before and after the trek were both excellent, and everyone was incredibly friendly. The trek itself was very well organised, and the food was delicious. A special mention goes to our guides, Idris and Piyan, who were absolutely incredible. A huge thank you to them for making our experience so memorable! Idris has an incredible amount of knowledge and shared lots of fascinating information with us about the jungle, the animals, and life in general. We also really enjoyed the jungle taxi ride back, which was such a fun experience! Our flights were changed for both the outbound and return journeys, and the team was very flexible and accommodating when it came to adjusting the trekking dates, our luggage arrangements, and our transfer back to the airport. We highly recommend this experience. Thank you so much to the whole team for such an unforgettable adventure!

Amazing experience
I did the 2 days 1 night trek with our guides Bob and Harry, and it was an amazing experience! They were very knowledgeable, really valued doing the trek in an ethical way, and they were always ready to help me and hold my hand down the steeper paths. Highly recommended !! And I need to mention the really good food 😋

Do not miss on this experience exceptional
This was one of my favorite experiences in Indonesia. The team come and pick you up directly where your driver drops you off. They take care of you from day one to the end. The trek itself is not too challenging, and you have a lot of water breaks during the hike, you get to walk in the jungle surrounded by all theses monkey. At night, you sleep in covered little houses so you can stay dry in case of rain so no worries for that. Not only did we see all the monkeys that you could possibly see in the park but we did this trek with amazing people and guides. Our guides Jul and Amso really took good care of every single one of us. They prepared some tropical fruits along the way for us to stay hydrated and energetic. They answered all of our questions and explained more than just the monkeys. We learned about the forest, the trees, the birds…. They did a great job with a smile always!! Abdul, our chef, made amazing meal every night. We ate a lot so no need to bring snacks, this is not the Rinjani🤪 Overall, this is a must do! Do not miss on this experience exceptional✨

Why this scores 95
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does 2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $170 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 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek 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 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 414 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Medan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek?
+
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 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek 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 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek?
+
Around 145 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 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek 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, Monkey Business 3 days - 2 nights Jungle trekking (including rafting), 2 Days 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trekking. 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.
