7 dagen 6 nachten Noord Sumatra Tour (Bukit Lawang-Berastagi-Lake Toba)

I can’t recommend enough the tour, it has been one of the best trips we’ve ever been! The landscape, history and people have been amazing. We started our trip with a 3 days jungle trekking ( be aware that it is challenging and you will be walking 6/7 hours a day! But you have breaks in between and experienced and professional guides supporting you at every moment) we saw around 7 orangutan, turtles, peacocks, monkeys, birds…. The food was delicious and the rafting back to Bukit Lawang so much fun! I recommend to ask for Helmi, Konong and Bambang as your jungle guides, THEY ARE THE BEST: Helmi is such a jungle professional but also so caring and fun… he went over the moon to make sure we were all good, with always the nicest smile. I miss playing to orangutan and I hope to have a motorbike ride one day:) papa, mama and I miss you! Bambang has such a good eye to spot orangutan, thanks to him we saw so many! He has such a sweet heart! “Papa palo”, mama and I miss you :) Konong was our guide the whole 9 days and every day was amazing. He will make you laugh so much and always accomodate your needs. Also he is a photographer, as a plus we got amazing pictures thanks to him! Papa, mama and Maria hope to see you again in Spain:) WE MISS YOU ALL! Thanks for the great days together around the jungle Day 4 we did one day with elephants, all the activities and tour and sustainable, taking into consideration ethical and ecological values and we loved it! In Bukit Lawang accomodation and food was so delicious and live music at night with such a great people create such a nice atmosphere every evening, thank you all the staff there! After Bukit Lawang we continued to the much cooler highlands of Berastagi and Lake Toba. With Konong we went to local markets to taste the most amazing dishes and snacks the Indonesian cuisine has to offer, traveling by ferry to Lake Toba and immerse in the history and culture of Samosir island. Accomodation and food were great and the drivers were amazing! I did this trip with my parents and I can thank enough how caring, sweet and nice they were. We all forgot our hearts there ( as Helmi and Konong used to say) and we hope we can come back one day. We definitely recommend to book a tour with them and to enjoy the best trip around Sumatra you could ask for! P.S My parents are over 60 and it was great for them, but at times the hiking was challenging so I recommend you to talk to them in advanced if you have any concerns :)

The whole journey was great, amazing time in the jungle with our Trek team leader Helmi - the Trek was challenging and fun, and the rewards of seeing Orangutan, Thomas Leaf Monkeys, Gibbons, Turtle, and Monitors was awesome. I highly recommend his team. I can not speak highly enough of our Tour Guide Konong. He ensured the most fulfilling and enjoyable experience, a great guy with a lot of knowledge who knows how to look after his guests and share his home country. Thanks everyone for making our North Sumatran Experience so special.

De organisatie en communicatie van de Tour Director was uitzonderlijk, bedankt Heri voor een geweldig Noord-Sumatraans avontuur. Accommodatie, transport, eten en ervaringen waren allemaal geweldig. Het hoogtepunt was natuurlijk het zien van de orang-oetan, maar de toewijding en professionaliteit van de gidsen was net zo indrukwekkend. Hun kennis van cultuur, geschiedenis, de jungle, dieren in het wild en het milieu was informatief en inspirerend. Een speciale dank aan Helmi en zijn team voor het leiden van onze Trek en het zo gedenkwaardig maken - 10/10! En voor Konong, onze geweldige gids, was uw aandacht voor het comfort en de tevredenheid van de gasten geweldig. Het is hartverwarmend om te weten dat mensen zoals jij voor de natuur zorgen en ecovriendelijk toerisme bouwen dat duurzaam is - 11/10!
