    One of the best trips I’ve had! Kian an Dedi were really friendly and attentive—made sure we make the most of our trip! Suria too—thanks for the accommodation! They are very knowledgeable and fun! Learned a lot and had a great time! Glad to have booked Monkey Business. The best thing about Monkey Business is that it is owned by locals. So if you want to support the locals, please book them! Our guides speak good English and if you will indulge, they have some nice stories and funny jokes to share. The food was great! Tropical fruits are the best! Definitely going back!

    Once in a lifetime

    What a great time. Not even an hour into the hike and we were up close and personal with a huge orangutan! The best part had to be our knowledgeable and hilarious guide Nang Nang. He made the experience unforgettable. Thanks so much to Nang Nang.

    The trip of your lives!

    Jamie_S, Jun 2024
    I would absolutely recommend this trip! Myself and my friend were paired with Nang Nang (our guide) and Arib, we had an amazing time with the both of them, they totally made the experience. Nang Nang is very knowledgeable about the jungle, the animals that live there and the people of Buket Lawang. Anything you want to know about the trek he can answer. He also constantly makes you laugh, which is important on the three day trek. No need to worry about going too fast/slow as the tour guides will tailor the trek to your liking. We saw plently of orangutans as well as gibbons and Thomas Leap monkeys. The wildlife is brilliant, the same with the company and food! Suria and Gea in the office will take care of all your needs such as accommodation and transport to and from the airport. Overall I would 100% recommend booking this trip. These guys are THE BEST

    Perfect

    Great experience

    They are really nice. Thanks for caring a lot. I enjoyed it. I recommend to go there with your friends who like hiking or tracking. Actually I was really tired of walking so you need to prepare for your energy and items.

    A life changing experience

    Joanne_N, Feb 2023
    My two best friends and I booked this tour with zero expectations. We met Suria, Nang Nang, Mady, Randy and Putra. They cooked for us and made our journey so magical! The three day trek was a bit strenuous. We did the short route but my friends and I are physically fit. I loved how beautiful the rainforest was and how charming our tour group was. They entertained us every night with card tricks, jokes, and conversation. The food they cooked us was so delicious and heart warming. I loved every minute of it. This will forever be one of my favorite life experiences. Highly recommend! We also rafted back to the village which was so fun and exciting! I love this tour so much!

    It was an experience...

    3 days and 2 nights pure jungle nature

    dilara_y, Jul 2025
    It was a great experience. We could see a lot of animals. The food was excellent. For me, the best food in Indonesia. It was freshly cooked every day by our chef Hendrik. Our guide Bimbo and his assistant Risky are a good team. We had a lot of fun and were told and explained a lot on the tour.

    Fantastische ervaring

    jessie_d, Sep 2024
    Een fantastische ervaring in de jungle! Naast de prachtige natuur, de fantastische hikes die we gedaan hebben en dieren (inclusief Orang Oetans) mogen spotten. Heeft Maruhang ons fantastisch begeleid in de jungle! Ik heb me geen moment onveilig gevoeld. Hij kon ons van alles vertellen en kent de jungle als geen ander. Eenmaal aangekomen op het kamp maakt zijn vader Ethom de meest verrukkelijke gerechten. De laatste dag gingen we raften terug naar het dorp. Oh ik heb zo genoten! Henri en Maruhang aan het stuur was echt genieten! Het was echt een genot in de jungle! Ik zou zo weer terug gaan 🤗

    初心者への教訓

    NAKAMURA_Y, Jan 2024
    私たちは3日のツアーに参加しました。初日からジャングルを歩き、さまざまな経験ができました。複数回オランウータンを近くで見ることができ、猿や鳥も何種類か見つけました。ガイドはとても親切でフレンドリーです。ラフティングもスリリングで楽しかったです。英語もわかりやすく話します。 しかし私たちは、このようなジャングルを歩くのが初めてで、多くのヒルに噛まれたり、野生的な宿でのトイレなど、普段の生活との違いに驚きました。そのため、3日のツアーを変更し、2日目の朝に街に戻りました。初日の夜にガイドに変更を申し出たが、私たちにとって最適な変更になるよう、さまざまな選択肢を提示し、ジャングルでの経験がベストになるよう尽してくれました。結果、2日目の朝、川沿いを歩き、ジャングルに入り込むこまずに20分ほどでツアー事務所に戻りました。その後、3日の予定だったラフティングをさせてくれ、ランチも楽しみました。プラン変更に応じてもらうことができ、とても有り難かったです。 ホームページでの事前情報が不足しているので、追加の情報を提供します。 ・ヒル対策 ヒルはジャングルの中、キャンプ場の近く、川沿いなどにいます。噛まれても血が出るだけで害はありません。虫除けは事務所でもらえるので、その虫除けを必ず素肌と衣服に塗ってください。また、長いズボン、長い靴下を着用し、素肌を出さないようにしてください。 ・持ち物 登山靴、タオル、大きめの水、帽子、着替え、脱げにくいサンダル、水着、カッパ ・送迎について 行きの送迎の場所は柔軟に対応してくれます。9時からスタートするので、メダンから行く場合は5時に迎えに来ます。帰りの送迎は有料です。ただ、追加料金を払えば帰りも送迎してくれます。 ・寝るところ 蚊帳のような感じで虫は避けられますが開放的でプライバシーが気になる人には注意が必要です。危険はありませんでしたが、出会ったばかりの人と隣で寝ることになります。 ・トイレ トイレはありますが、個室ではなく衛生的にもあまり良い状態ではありませんでした。キャンプやハイキングに慣れている人は大丈夫だと思います。慣れていない人にはお勧めできません。 ・食事 一日目の朝食と3日目の夕食以外は提供されます。ジャングルの中でしたが、食事は全て美味しかったです。 ・夕食後 夜ご飯を食べた後に同じグループの人とマジックやトランプを使った簡単なゲームをしました。綺麗な星の下、ジャングルの中でするゲームは、普段の生活では経験できない楽しい時間でした。 ・改善できそうな点 ホームページに詳しく持ち物やアクティビティについての情報をのせる点。
