Booked with Tondi for a 3D2N Orang Utan Trekking Expedition. Dino and Habibi was our guides and Barjan was our camp chef and caretaker. They took great care of us. They brought us to the hotspots of the Orang Utans, Thomas’ Leaf monkeys and white-headed gibbons, made sure we had good viewing spots, checked if we were okay and if we needed breaks, and even helped us to carry some of our stuff across the rivers. They also set up our sleeping area for us nicely and also made sure we were fed! It was a truly wonderful experience in the jungle and we felt so well taken care of. Thankful to the team!

Booked a 3d2n Jungle Expedition through Tondi. I chose this operator because their replies were fast, and they assured me that they will take care of everything. They are also run locally! Dino, Habibi and Marjan took great care of us during the expedition and we got really lucky, seeing almost every animal we wanted to see. They kept us safe, allowed us to go at our own pace and the food was good too! Pleasant conversations also added to the experience. Thank you for helping me with pictures and videos too! You guys put in so much effort to take care of us!

Je tiens à remercier énormément Tondi pour sa réactivité, sa gentillesse et son aide. J’arrivais à Medan le jour même et, lorsque je l’ai contacté, je n’étais plus qu’à environ 30 minutes de la ville. Malgré ce délai très court, il a réussi à m’organiser toute l’activité dans la jungle, mais aussi à faire en sorte que quelqu’un vienne me récupérer directement à l’aéroport pour m’emmener jusqu’au logement. J’avais initialement réservé auprès d’une grande agence, mais celle-ci m’a laissée tomber à la toute dernière minute, le jour même de mon vol pour Medan, en m’annonçant que l’activité ne serait finalement pas possible. Tondi a vraiment été un sauveur et a tout fait pour que je puisse malgré tout vivre cette expérience. Le logement était vraiment incroyable pour une nuit, dans un super endroit, au cœur de la nature. C’était une très belle découverte. Le petit déjeuner était simple mais vraiment bon. L’activité dans la jungle était tout simplement magnifique. C’était une expérience incroyable au cœur de la nature sauvage, bien mieux que ce que j’avais imaginé. On allait de surprise en surprise ! J’ai eu la chance de voir des orangs-outans, des macaques et plusieurs autres singes. Les paysages étaient magnifiques et j’ai adoré être complètement plongée dans cet environnement naturel. Les guides étaient super et mon groupe était vraiment génial. J’étais seule, sans personne pour m’accompagner, et j’ai été intégrée à un groupe formidable. Cela a rendu l’expérience encore plus agréable. Nous avons partagé de très beaux moments et j’en garde des souvenirs incroyables. Et pour terminer, la descente de la rivière était vraiment une superbe expérience. Je recommande cette expérience à 100 % ! Et je tiens encore une fois à remercier sincèrement Tondi, car son aide ne s’est pas arrêtée à l’activité. Il a continué à m’aider pour organiser mon retour depuis Medan, alors que l’éruption du volcan avait provoqué des problèmes au niveau des vols. Il a vraiment été présent pour m’aider et trouver des solutions. Je ne le remercierai jamais assez pour sa disponibilité, sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme. Merci beaucoup Tondi pour tout ! 🙏 Je garderai vraiment un excellent souvenir de cette expérience.

A fantastic bat cave tour in Bukit Lawang! Highly recommend this great team. We had a wonderful time and are so glad to have had Tondi and Habibi as our guides for the bat cave tour. They were extremely thoughtful and shared so many interesting details with us.

We did the 2D1N Jungle Trek with an 8year old child. Tondi helped us organize EVERYTHING. From the accomodation, airport transport to even laundry service. Tondi and Habibi did the Trek with us an we could not wish for better company. The two of them are not only the nicest people but also have so much knowledge of the Jungle. We got to see many orang utans and lots of other animals. We felt safe at every second of the trek. The food in the jungle was also so amazing - we loved it. Rafting back in the river with Tondi and Habibi was also a highlight of the trip. We met as strangers but left as jungle family as Tondi calls it. If you come to Bukit Lawang - choose Tondi as your guide and I guarantee you will have the most amazing experience!

Tre giorni nella giungla di Sumatra che non dimenticheremo. Un’esperienza autentica, intensa e meravigliosa. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di incontrare ben otto oranghi, alcuni a pochissima distanza da noi. Vederli muoversi liberamente nel loro habitat è stato emozionante. Il trekking ha superato ogni nostra aspettativa, grazie a Sumatra Tour Adventure e alle nostre fantastiche guide, Tondi e Abibi, professionali, preparate e soprattutto persone splendide. Ci hanno organizzato tutto alla perfezione, dal nostro arrivo: sono venuti a prenderci direttamente in aeroporto, si sono occupati di prenotare la camera a Bukit Lawang e di organizzare ogni dettaglio del trekking. Non abbiamo dovuto preoccuparci di nulla e tutto è stato semplicemente perfetto. Il camping è autentico, è proprio questo a rendere l’esperienza così speciale. Le serate tutti insieme, le risate, la compagnia e il cibo buonissimo e super vario preparato dallo chef John hanno reso questi tre giorni ancora più indimenticabili. Ci siamo trovati benissimo e rifaremmo questa esperienza senza pensarci due volte. Se siete a Sumatra, non potete perdervela. Grazie di cuore a Tondi, Abibi e John per aver condiviso con noi la vostra esperienza, per la vostra disponibilità e per aver reso questi giorni davvero indimenticabili. ❤️🌿🦧

Esperienza fantastica nella giungla di Bukit Lawang! Abbiamo fatto un trekking di 3 giorni e 2 notti con Sumatra Tour Adventures e non potevamo chiedere di meglio. Un ringraziamento speciale a Tondi, che è stato super gentile, professionale, disponibile e anche molto simpatico per tutta la durata del trekking. Ci ha accompagnato nella giungla con grande attenzione e competenza, facendoci vivere un’esperienza davvero indimenticabile. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di vedere gli oranghi ben due volte, anche con dei bellissimi cuccioli, oltre a tanti altri animali e alla splendida natura della giungla di Sumatra. Un’esperienza incredibile e assolutamente da fare! Anche il cibo è stato una piacevole sorpresa: abbiamo mangiato molto bene durante il trekking, con pasti davvero gustosi (e di un’abbondanza da non credere!). Grazie Chef John! Consigliatissimo Sumatra Tour Adventures! Se state pensando di fare un trekking a Bukit Lawang, affidatevi a loro: professionalità, simpatia e un’esperienza autentica nella giungla. Tondi, Abibi e John sapranno assolutamente accontentarvi in tutto e per tutto ed avranno un’attenzione particolare rispetto a tutti gli altri tour. Grazie di cuore! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The guided Jungle Tour was great. We spent one night camping and two days filled with adventures. Rafting, Hiking, watching monkeys and enjoying tasty food in the rainforest. Our guides Andre and Habibi gave their very best for our experience and enabled us to see Orang-Utans from close up. Their English is good and they are very open to talk during the time there. They made sure we were safe and always had a good time. A lot of laughs and nice moments were shared with them. I can recommend this experience to everyone and also directly suggest to book with this company as they always showed a lot of interest in us and really wanted us to have the best possible experience. With the local experience of our guides we were very happy. So I wish many more people an incredible experience like we had.

We had an amazing experience trekking in the jungle of Bukit Lawang with Sumatra Tour Adventures, and we would absolutely recommend Tondi and his team. From the very beginning, communication with Tondi, the owner of the company, was excellent. He was always kind, responsive and helpful, organized both our transfers from and back to Medan Airport, and provided us with all the information we needed before our arrival. After spending our first night at the guesthouse he recommended, we left the following morning for a 2-day, 1-night jungle trek. Throughout the trek, we were accompanied by experienced and knowledgeable guides who did their very best to show us the incredible wildlife of the Gunung Leuser ecosystem. We were lucky enough to see orangutans, different species of monkeys, macaques and many other animals along the way. The food was another highlight. The meals prepared by the guides were generous, fresh and made with great care. At the end of the first day, after several hours of trekking (be prepared to sweat!) we reached our basecamp right beside the river. Being able to cool down in the water surrounded by the jungle after such a long day was absolutely wonderful. Spending the night there, completely immersed in nature, made the experience even more special. The following morning, we woke up early to continue exploring the jungle before eventually reaching the river. The adventure ended in the best possible way: tubing back towards Bukit Lawang on large inflatable tubes, guided by the team almost like a very safe rafting experience. Such a fun way to finish the trek! What we appreciated most, however, was the team’s attitude towards the jungle and its wildlife. You can genuinely see how much they love and respect this environment. The animals are observed in their natural habitat without being fed or approached simply for the sake of tourists getting closer or taking pictures. The guides know the forest incredibly well and allow encounters with wildlife to happen as naturally and respectfully as possible. A beautiful, authentic and unforgettable experience. Thank you Tondi, Ucok, Habibi, Barjan for taking such good care of us and for sharing your love for the jungle with us. Highly recommended

Nous avons fait le trek 2 jours / 1 nuit dans la jungle de Bukit Lawang et c’était l’un des meilleurs moments de notre voyage. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir une expérience privée, avec 2 guides pour seulement 2 personnes, ce qui a rendu le trek beaucoup plus agréable et immersif. J’ai été vraiment surpris par le nombre d’animaux rencontrés pendant ces deux jours, et surtout par la variété des espèces observées. Nous avons vu plusieurs orangs-outans, dont un bébé, ainsi que différentes espèces de singes, tout en passant deux jours au cœur de la jungle et une nuit près de la rivière. Le parcours est superbe et permet de profiter pleinement de la forêt. Les guides Darwan et Fahri étaient excellents : très sympathiques, toujours de bonne humeur, et ils ont créé une atmosphère très amicale et conviviale pendant tout le trek. Ils s’adaptent facilement au rythme du groupe, et les repas ainsi que les fruits frais étaient très appréciés. Un grand merci à Tondi pour l’organisation. Si vous allez à Bukit Lawang, c’est une expérience que je recommande sans hésiter.
