I had come from Medan 4...
I had come from Medan 4 hours so I arrived at park entrance 5 minutes after 1, but they had left, so I then had another guide, it was a silent tour no speaking as the guide didn't speak English, and no lunch or food and we saw 2 orangutan and 1 monkey, it was 3 hour trek, the tube back was good and the best part, the tour cost €75, because it was only 3 hours and I paid 7 he offered for me to go the next day but I had to leave for medan

Best Orangutans trekking
We had an incredible jungle trekking experience with Bukitlawangtour! Our guide, Tantawi Obiwan, and our helper, Reza, were absolutely amazing from start to finish. They were extremely knowledgeable about the jungle and wildlife, and they took wonderful care of us the entire trip — truly real 5-star treatment in the middle of the jungle. Thanks to their expertise, we were able to see both orangutans and gibbons in their natural habitat, which was unforgettable. They made the trek feel safe, exciting, and very enjoyable while sharing so much information along the way. We highly recommend Tantawi Obiwan, Reza, and Bukitlawangtour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable jungle trekking experience in Bukit Lawang!

Great Tour
Tour was great, got to see a wild orangutan up close. We got a full platter of fruit made by our guide Dedek, followed by a delicious lunch. Would definitely recommend to anybody who would like to explore the jungle and see the wildlife.

Hard work but 100% worth it
I can't recommend this trip enough. Both guides (Rifan and Rama) were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The trek was hard going on the way up - a decent level of fitness is definitely required. The journey down was even harder. Lots of long steep steps, a few experiences of abseiling (slight exaggeration but very close). The rubber tubing down was relaxing although watch out for the rocks on the bottom of the shallow river at some points. All in, a long and exhausting day, but worth it to see all the orangutans and monkeys in their natural habitat

Day trip to Bukit Lawang

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bukit Lawang Full Day Jungle Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does Bukit Lawang Full Day Jungle Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $71 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 Full Day Jungle Trek take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Full Day Jungle Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 71 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 Bukit Lawang Full Day 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 Bukit Lawang Full Day Jungle Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bukit Lawang Full Day Jungle Trek?
+
Around 25 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bukit Lawang Full Day 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, 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.
