First-class service every step of the way
Fantastic from start to finish. Our trip to the jungle was a memory for life - especially the wonderful orangutans. Everything was so well organised - the communication beforehand, our excellent and kind driver (Dedi), the guide who made sure we saw the best the jungle had to offer, the overnight camp with wonderful food. Don't leave Indonesia without doing this trip.

Bukit Lawang and Samosir Island tour
My custom 5 days tour with Tri Jaya in north Sumatra was absolutely splendid. The tour took me from Medan to Bukit Lawang to Samosir Island on Lake Toba and back to Medan. They arranged the guided jungle trek to see the orangutans. Lodging at all places were beautiful and as a solo female traveler, I never felt unsafe with Mr Dedi, the driver/ guide. He was respectful and polite at all times. The Tri Jaya team was responsive, flexible and helpful. They provided worthwhile recommendations and were attentive to detail. The Deli River hotel gave a cosy and homey feel at the end of the tour. I missed the Berastagi volcano experience, hopefully another time. All in all, Tri Jaya Tour and Travel provided a great experience and I highly recommend the small family run business

Highly recommend if in Sumatra. See you next time for the 7 day tour
Great experience- Erwen was a great driver who showed us all the sights with aplomb. Orangutan hike was fantastic seeing the orangutans in the wild versus rehab centres where i have seen them before in Borneo. Volcano hike was a great experience - fantastic views which me and my son enjoyed. Hike was around 6-7km all round so was comfortable if fit

A lifetime trip!
I now understand why this travel agency is on top of the list in Trip Advisor. Simply put, they gave me the trip of a lifetime. From the care they took in planning the itinerary, to the quality of the guides they engaged, the tours (including some I hadn't thought of), arranging transfers, drivers, tickets, they made this a stress-free trip. Neither words nor pictures can capture the experience of Sumatra forest. The wildlife, the terrain, the tent, the freshly cooked foods in the forest, the orang utans and Thomas the leaf monkey, All wild animals in the forest and the people made this experience unforgettable. just beyond superb! Thanks trijaya tour, can't wait to be back!

3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang?
+
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 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang?
+
Around 2 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 days Medan Orangutan Bukit Lawang 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.
