support the nature & the local community in butkit lawang
When you purchase one of our orangutan tours, you are also supporting Gunung Leuser National Park by buying a ticket to enter the park. Tickets to enter this national park help fund the organisation’s efforts in preserving the endangered species living in the jungle and making sure that illegal logging does not take place.
Our trekking guides are certified by the Indonesia Tourist Guides Association (ITGA-HPI Himpunan Pramuwisata Indonesia). This means they have the training and experience needed to take you on a trek in the jungle and they know how best to treat the environment.
We only use local guides—guides who live in the community and whose families benefit from their work.
you help the children and single mothers in bukit lawang
When you buy a trekking orangutan tour from us, 10% of the proceeds go to children in Bukit Lawang who can’t afford to go to school. These funds help them get an education and eventually find jobs that will enable them to support themselves and their families when they grow up.
We would love to have you come and visit the children with the guide, give them the money.

how can we help you?
Here are some of the most common questions we get from our customers. Hopefully, this will help you. Otherwise, don’t hesitate to contact us!
All of our trekking guides speak English… and a little orangutan language ; )
The items you will need most are cash money, good walking shoes/hiking boots, a flashlight/torch and mosquito repellent. There is possibility to change money in Bukit Lawang.
You might see orangutans on our jungle treks, but there is no guarantee! These animals live out in the wild, and it’s hard to know where they will be at any point of the day. But our jungle treks leave Bukit Lawang at 8:30 am and pass the old orangutan feeding area, so you have a good chance to see semi-wild orangutans up close.
Just bring your personal belongings in a small backpack and 1 large bottle of water. Our team will provide sleeping bags as well as safety jackets for tube rafting. There will be a porter to carry the equipment (tent, camping mats, mosquito nets) and food supplies.
You can either pay the full amount or pay a 20% deposit, and you can pay the rest of the fee when you arrive in Bukit Lawang. Send us an email and we will send you our account number to which you can transfer the money.
If you cancel at least:
Two weeks before the trekking date: We will refund your deposit minus any transaction fees.
One week before the trekking date: If you have paid the full amount, you will get a full refund minus 10% and transaction fees. If you only have paid the deposit, you will get half of your deposit back minus transaction fees.
We will use it to cover your treks and tours cancellations, as well as compensation for your guide.
