  • IMORTANT INFORMATION: At most times you will see orangutans on jungle treks but there is no guarantee! These animals live out in the wild and it’s hard to determine where they will be at any point of the day. But all EcoTravel guides have many years of experience and our team has a very good reputation in Bukit Lawang. We do not hire additional, external guides due safety reasons for our guests. Our handful of well-versed and enthuisiastic EcoTravel guides are locals from this region, speak English, have excellent knowledge of plants and animals - and are all certified by the local ITGA-HPI (Indonesia Tourist Guides Association – Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia).

Jungle adventure!

Published on Sep, 2022

What an amazing experience! The lodge is set on a river in Bukit Lawang and it is stunning. Breakfast was served during each morning we stayed in the lodge. Lunch and dinner was an easy walk away. The food provided on the trek was above and beyond our expectations. Seeing the wild orangutans in their native habitat will live with me for the rest of my life. Thank you Eco Travel team for the amazing experience! I don't recommend bringing small children. As you will be trekking through the jungle. We got caught in a thunderstorm and it became a pretty treacherous hike to the camp at that point. Definitely an awesome experience but I couldn't imagine having kids in the group.

Just Great!

Me and my friend had 3 nights stay at EcoTravel in Bukit Lawang. We did the 2days trek into the jugle. We had a perfect experience with the nature and the great staff from EcoTravel! Would totally recommend the trip into the sumatran jungle. We've seen many orang-utans and other life in the jungle! Hendra, Ewi and Wawan and also the rest of the EcoTravel team really put effort in making the experience an outstanding one!

At 71, I am no longer the youngest. The guides brought me and my wife safely and close to the orange according to our abilities. My backpack with the heavy photographic equipment was carried by them in demanding terrain and we were safely led over difficult passages. In between we were spoiled with fresh fruit and a warm rice meal. It was an overwhelming experience. The privately run lodge is very lovingly an individually furnished. The sumptuous breakfast makes you fit for the day and after the excursions you can safely swim and refresh yourself in the river.

One of the most amazing days of my life! The guides were very concerned with our safety but were also smart and strategic to get us as close to the animals as possible without stressing the animals or being unsafe. I would recommend them to anyone. Very professional!
