3-day Mount Leuser jungle trek from Bukit Lawang: orangutans, river swims, rainforest camping, and return by jungle taxi for $200.
“Absolutely wouldn’t have wanted to miss this experience. we had two great guides: Robby & Randy. Very friendly, fun and helpful guys. We saw 6 oerang oetans and other monkeys. The lunch & dinner was also very delicious.”
Two-day Bukit Lawang Mount Leuser jungle trek with orangutan spotting, river swimming, jungle camp night, and Bahorok rafting for $138.
“Mooie trekking gehad met door lieve mensen. Heerlijke lunch in de jungle gekregen. Orang-Oetans gezien. Let op! Nacht in de jungle is heel erg basic. Je ligt op een dunne mat met een klein kussentje en fleecedeken onder een muggennet. Geadviseerd: lange kleding! Ook zweet je erg veel dus droge kleding aan te raden. Voor stukken door de rivier handig om waterschoentjes of stevige slippers mee te nemen.”
Lombok Wildlife Park ticket for a rainforest-style animal sanctuary, elephant bathing and orangutan photo time, plus included admission.
“Absolutely amazing experience- well worth paying the extra for the Elephant bath, Orangutan and 3 course lunch. What a wonderfully unique experience and our guide Ahmed was simply brilliant. Probably one of the best experiences available on Viator & we’ve made memories that will last a lifetime. Unreservedly recommend this!”
Two days of private boat travel, Rinca Island hiking, Komodo dragon sightings, and snorkeling, with meals and onboard cabin.
“Our tour was a major hi light of our 2-week vacation. Our tour guide, Ari went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, providing an extra stop to a local village, when he saw that we were looking for a deeper cultural understanding. We saw 7 full-sized, healthy Komodo dragons and a baby. Such a memorable tour!”
Volcanoes, reefs, temples and workshops — and the lists behind each.
