Extra bagus tour with monkey business
Everything was super smooth, from booking, to airport pickup to everything else. The activity only has one room available so for every tour they will only take you. The guides are very polite and funny and will take their time to make sure you enjoy the experience. The food is also very good for those who enjoy lokal indonesia warung. Despite the heavy rain on the second say we still managed to see the urangs upclose. The hike itself is very beautiful and a bit demanding. You better buy shoes locally for the hike; they stick well to the mud. If you like adventure and wildlife i would really recommend the experience. And monkey business tour is an excelent choice. I would really recommend it
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that everything went smoothly, from the booking process to the jungle trek. We're especially happy that you were able to see the orangutans up close despite the heavy rain. It means a lot to know you enjoyed our guides, the local food, and the overall experience. Thank you for recommending Monkey Business Tour. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Bukit Lawang for another adventure in the future! 😊

Wonderful unforgettable experience.
We have a main guide, Suria Darma, and 2 assistants, guides in training. They are all very good, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There were 5 in the group. 3 young chaps from UK and my husband and I, the 2 seniors in our 68 and 73. Probably 2/3 of the way, I was exhausted from the humidity, non-stop sweating from the start. Eka, an assistant, was very kind and helped me a lot by holding my hand through steep climbs and steep downhill and offered his walking stick. Suria, also helped me with my backpack, and also later also helped my husband with his heavy backpack as both of us were running out of energy. When we ran out of water, they shared their water with us. Without them, I do not think we can make it. We were surprised with a 6 star fruit buffet in the middle of the jungle trekking prepared by the 3 guides followed by a delicious lunch. Meal at camp was great, cooked onsite. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your trekking experience with Suria Darma, Eka, and the team. Our guides always do their best to support and take care of every guest, so we’re glad they could help you and your husband during the trek. We’re also pleased that you enjoyed the fruit buffet, the meals, and the overall experience in the jungle. Thank you again for your trust and kind words. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Best time ever 🤠
This two-day tour exceeded my expectations so much; it was truly perfect. Our guide, Bimbo, and our assistant, Eka, are the funniest and warmest people; I haven't laughed so much in ages. They are also true gentlemen who fulfill every wish with love and a smile. The food also surprised me, as there was so much of it, and it was such high quality, especially for jungle food. Our sleeping quarters were lovingly prepared and, for the jungle, a real luxury. With a mosquito net, it was absolutely perfect, and we slept soundly. We saw everything we wanted to see in the jungle, which, of course, is always a matter of luck since the jungle isn't a zoo, but we were very lucky. Our driver, who picked us up from the airport, also gave us the best ride ever by taking us to a wonderful food stop and telling us so much :) If you want to learn something, I would highly recommend this tour, as the guide speaks excellent English and taught us a great deal. 120€ is such a fair Price for what they offer (at the end even a funny rafting is included) I would do it again in a heartbeat! :))

Good people.
Almost too much good food to eat. We saw many monkeys, birds, and orangutans, of course. They said we were lucky but there were so many that I’m sure every group will see some. Our guides, Bimbo, Dadi, and Sukhi, were very good people—friendly, interesting, and dedicated to the experience we wanted to have.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In Bukit Lawang: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In Bukit Lawang cost?
+
Prices start at $120 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 Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In Bukit Lawang 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 Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In Bukit Lawang worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 123 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 Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In 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 Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In Bukit Lawang suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In Bukit Lawang?
+
Around 43 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 Monkey Business 2 days - 1 night Jungle Trekking In 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.
