Best 3 days of my whole trip!
After the first day I extended to 2 nights because I just loved the trekking. Beautiful nature and so many different animals (we saw baby orange utans!!! and tons of other cool monkeys and birds). Our guides Ian, Beam and Rodi took really good care of us and entertained the whole group (even when the trail got a bit exhausting and it was raining). We had so much fun, experienced so many magical moments and the tour included all kinds of different activities. The camps were basic but located in gorgeous places and the cook Suban prepared incredible dishes every day. Highly recommend this local organization!

Once in a lifetime experience
I had an incredible once in a life time experience with this tour. As I female solo traveler I also felt very safe with the guides and shared tour. Special thanks to our tour guides Kian, Roji, Suban, and Bima for taking care of us and making everything go smoothly. They truly take care of their guests. Food was also amazing!

Terima Kasih, Amazing!
I just returned from an incredible 3-day jungle trekking adventure. The experience began with a seamless airport pick-up, and we spent the night before at Wonders restaurant, where the food was absolutely delicious. Our guides were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Ian was incredibly informative and experienced, teaching us about the diverse wildlife. Beam kept us entertained and was a great laugh, and Suban prepared the best meals I’ve had in my month here, all cooked right in the middle of the jungle mind! I met a lovely group of people and witnessed breathtaking animals and views. I’m truly grateful for the warmth and hospitality of the entire team at Wonders. I will definitely be back. It’s important to note that this is a local company run by wonderful, welcoming local people (not all of the trekking companies in Bukit Lawang are). Support local businesses!! I wish we could have kept on trekking; I’ll miss it lots. The fruit and lunches provided in the middle of nowhere I just returned from an incredible 3-day jungle trekking adventure.

Supporting local businesses and families is crucial, especially since many companies in Bukit are set up by Westerners. I wish I could have extended my trek; I’ll miss it dearly. The fruit and lunches provided in the middle of nowhere were amazing. Dinner was a literal FEAST! Our guides were so considerate, taking breaks for us, challenging us, and always up for a laugh. A major highlight was right at the end, Ian spotted an orangutan while we were on the jungle taxi back. Without hesitation, they pulled us out of the river to see it, just incredibly committed to making sure we had the best jungle experience. Terima kasih! Amazing!

Amazing trip with fantastic conservation purpose
Honestly couldn’t recommend this trip more. As a wildlife photographer and wildlife lover I know the most important way to contribute to conservation is sustainable ecotourism run by locals. Bukit Lwang has got a lot of external companies running guest houses and tours now which means the local miss out and instead need to turn to rubber/palm oil plantations or poaching. This company here is purely run by locals for locals and provides an incredible experience. Our group of 3 came in October to avoid peak season which meant wildlife was a lot more challenging to find but it was worth it. We orginally were going to stay in the jungle for 2 night but an injury meant we couldn’t however they were so accommodating and instead provided us rooms at their local run accommodation which was comfortable and safe with good food and cold showers. The trekking was beautiful Kamal and Batral took us throughout the jungle showing us traditional medicines, forest foods and told so many great stories about the local history of the area. They also would provide constant stopping opportunities to drink water as it was HOT in the jungle and also provided us an amazing fruit platter and lunch every day. We saw 8 Orangutans in total over the 2 and a half days as well as hornbill, gibbons , langurs and leaf monkeys. Overall it was amazing experience with amazing guides and fantastic accommodation and wildlife. We ended the whole trip with planting two trees in the jungle which were provided by our guides which was a special way to end it. Overall support local and do your bit for conservation while having a fantastic experience along the way

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan cost?
+
Prices start at $206 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 Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan 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 Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 153 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 Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan?
+
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 Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan 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 Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan?
+
Around 54 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 Bukit Lawang 3D2N Deep Orangutan Trek All Inclusive from Medan 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.
