7 days Sumatra Highlights private tour

Everything was perfect organized, also we had a delay with our flight, we could see everything and became a great support.

We are a couple who booked our 2 days 1 night jungle trekk trip online and Christine was very prompt in answering us. She gave us all the information needed and provided a taxi from the airport (an additional 50 euros). We arrived late at night and Christine's partner met us and guided us to our guesthouse. He gave us all the information needed for the tour and was very friendly and helpful. In the morning we met our assistant guide (Pele) at the guesthouse and he took us to the starting point. Our tour guide Fabio was very friendly and kind. He gave us information about the jungle, the animals and even some crazy stories about his experience in the jungle. Pele was constantly trying to spot animals for us. We were provided with a lot of food, amazing fruit and tea and coffee. Gluten free food was provided for one of us. We were with another two guys so we were a small group which was nice. Fabio was patient and let everyone walk at their own pace. We saw many types of monkeys and orangutans with their babies. One even walked right in front of us! Although there were other groups it wasn't crowded and it was a true jungle experience. Make sure to wear long socks as there are leeches around. We had an amazing dinner in the evening once we got to the campsite. We enjoyed chilling outside after dinner just chatting and watching insects while listening to the sounds of the jungle. It was so surreal. (we were lucky it wasn't raining as the night before it rained all night) The next morning we had breakfast and continued the trekk. At this point we separated as the other group were doing the 3days two nights tour. We were with Pele the assistant guide. The trekk down at the end was quite challenging but doable. Once we got to the river we had a great lunch and then rafted back to the town. Rafting was a perfect, fun way to end the trip. We highly recommend booking this trip! Our only regret is not doing a longer trekk! We loved it and want to go back.

Christine took the time to help us plan a great trip - with a three year old joining us we were keen to have someone with local knowledge and were not disappointed. When we arrived we were met with a friendly welcome by Safrol and the guys at Indra Valley Inn and immediately felt at home. We decided to do the half day jungle trek, as we weren’t sure how it would go with the little one. We saw ~10 orangutans!! We loved the fact that we weren’t rushed - plenty of time to take some amazing photos and soak up the atmosphere. The highlight was seeing two of the orangutans just across the river when we got back to the inn at the end of our trek! The next day we travelled by auto tuk-tuk to a local village - lots of fun and nice to meet some more of the locals. After a great time in Bukit Lawang we headed to Lake Toba with our driver Imran, also a trekking guide. Again such a friendly guy, who made sure we had everything we needed and drove safely on the sometimes bumpy and busy roads. He made suggestions on the way of places to stop and things to see. Thanks so much to Christine, Safrol and Imran for a great holiday!
