Before You Book

Helpful information

Book ahead when possible

Advance booking gives the team more time to confirm a suitable guide and prepare for your group’s needs.

Wildlife is truly wild

Orangutans and other animals move freely, so sightings and specific encounters can never be guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Booking questions answered

Which trek is best for a first visit?
The 3-hour trek is suitable for a short introduction, while the one-day trek offers more rainforest time without camping. The two-day overnight trek is the most complete option for many first-time visitors.
Can solo travellers book a trek?
Yes. Send your date and preferred trek. The team will explain the available shared-group or private-trek options for that day.
Are the treks suitable for children?
Many families visit Bukit Lawang. Suitability depends on the child’s age, walking experience, weather, and trail conditions. Include the children’s ages in your request so the team can recommend the best option.
Is seeing an orangutan guaranteed?
No. The orangutans live freely in a natural rainforest environment. Guides use their local knowledge to search responsibly, but no ethical wildlife tour can guarantee a sighting.
Can you arrange transport and accommodation?
Yes. Mention your arrival location, date, flight details if relevant, and preferred accommodation style in the booking message.
What happens after I send the form?
WhatsApp opens with your details. After you send the message, the team will check availability and reply with the confirmed price, inclusions, meeting arrangements, and booking instructions.
