Tondi is a super knowledgeable and responsible guide who genuinely cares about the jungle. He even picks up trash left behind by other tour groups — basically a guide, jungle protector, and part-time garbage collector all in one! 😂 On top of that, he’s hilarious and makes the whole experience even more fun. Highly recommend him!

We had such an amazing time in the jungle with Sumatra Tour Adventures! Communication with Tondi was great from the get go and he arranged quite literally everything for us. We had Mawan and Fari guiding us through the jungle and they were incredibly patient, allowing us to hike at a pace that worked for us. The jungle is SO SO hot and humid so we appreciated be able to take breaks when needed. The food was also delicious!! Honestly some of the best we’ve had in Indonesia. And of course, seeing the orangutans was obviously the highlight. We saw them about 1 hour into our hike on day 1 which was crazy! Definitely book with Sumatra Tour Adventures if you want a great jungle experience!

We had an amazing experience with Sumatra Tour Adventures! Our days in the jungle were unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible team: Tondi, Dino, Habibi and John. They were some of the kindest, funniest and most caring people we could have asked for. They shared so much knowledge about the jungle, its wildlife and how to respect and protect the animals, always making sure we felt safe and taken care of. A special thank you to the cooks as well, who kept us well-fed with delicious food throughout the trip. Everyone went above and beyond to make this experience so special. We couldn’t have asked for a better team. If you’re planning to explore the jungle in Bukit Lawang, we wholeheartedly recommend Sumatra Tour Adventures! 🌿❤️

An unforgettable experience. We spent 3N4D trekking through the jungle, encountering various species: primates (Sumatran orangutans, Thomas’s leaf monkeys, siamangs, white-handed gibbons, macaques), also birds and reptiles (rhinoceros hornbills, snakes, tortoises, monitor lizards). These encounters are completely wild and respectful; they’re not guaranteed, and that’s what makes it unique. The guides, Pele and Habibi, demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about the jungle and animal behavior; we felt safe and they explained so many interesting things to us 10/10. They adapt to our pace, wait patiently and take the time needed so that we can enjoy the moment. Every day we moved to a new campsite, near a river or waterfall where we could cool off. Chef Barjan prepared all the meals and they were delicious; he was very dedicated and kind. Tondi is the heart and soul of Sumatra Tour Adventures. He organised everything for us – from transport and accommodation to jungle treks – with his brilliant team. The service was excellent; he answered all our questions at every stage and kept in touch throughout the experience. We highly recommend it. Thank you very much to everyone on the team. Best regards!

An Unforgettable Tour in Sumatra 😍 We had a wonderful time and would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our guides (Tondi, Fabio, Fahri and Ginter) and the entire team. Everything went smoothly, from the initial organization to the execution of the tour. Our guide led us through the tour with a great deal of experience, composure, and humor. We felt safe and well looked after at all times, allowing us to fully enjoy Sumatra's stunning natural beauty. The entire team was simply fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always on hand whenever we needed anything. We particularly appreciated the personal, family-like atmosphere. Thank you to the kitchen staff as well; the food was fresh, varied, and incredibly delicious every day. It was a real highlight after a strenuous day of touring. 🍽️❤️ The tour was certainly challenging and physically demanding, but that is exactly what made the experience so special for us. We are taking home so many wonderful memories and special moments. Thank you so much for this amazing experience—we would happily tour with you again anytime and would recommend you to others without hesitation! Warm regards to our jungle family 🌿 We miss you already!!! Malgorzata, Marek, and Sara ❤️
