Absolutely perfect, definitely recommend this tour. Other than seeing the beautiful orangutans, the guides were such a highlight and kept us laughing the whole time. Gorgeous food as well 🤌🏻

Best experience ever!!! I can't express how wonderful our experience was with Discover Sumatra! Our main guide Imran, our main driver Farried and the other guides went above and beyond.  They took such good care of us and were so much fun! They really felt like family by the end of the week ♥ Having never experienced Sumatran driving I should have been scared but Farried was such a good driver that I was completely comfortable.  Everyone we encountered in Sumatra was SO friendly. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime ♥♥ Tarima Kasih!

We spent seven unforgettable days exploring North Sumatra with Discover Sumatra, and it exceeded all our expectations.

From the very first contact, Christine and Saprol were friendly, responsive and extremely well organized. Every transfer, activity and accommodation was arranged perfectly, allowing us to fully enjoy the trip.

The itinerary offered a fantastic balance between nature and culture. Our jungle trek in Gunung Leuser was an absolute highlight, but we also loved climbing Mount Sibayak, visiting the spectacular Sipiso-Piso Waterfall and discovering the Batak culture during our tour around Samosir and Lake Toba.

What made this trip truly special were the people. Our guides and drivers were knowledgeable, professional and incredibly kind. They shared so much about the local culture and way of life, making the experience far more authentic than we expected.

We highly recommend Discover Sumatra to anyone looking for a well-organized and authentic adventure in North Sumatra.

Thank you, Christine, Saprol and the entire team for an unforgettable experience!

Discover Sumatra is VERY highly recommended by us. Christine and the team provided our family of 4 (2 adults + 2 young adults) with an incredible 2.5 week adventure around North Sumatra. All communication, transport, accomodation, guides, drivers and general support was top notch. Our highlights were the overnight Jungle Trek from Bukit Lawang and the stunning snorkelling and diving on Pulau Weh Island, all just magic!

Incredible private family tour of North Sumatra
Our 2.5 week private tour of North Sumatra through Discover Sumatra was absolutely incredible. From my first contact with Christine to the moment we arrived home, her communication, organisation and support was exceptional. Christine worked with us to create the perfect trip for our family of 4 (2 adults + 2 young adults) and was incredibly patient with my many questions and alterations. All the tours, guides, drivers, transport and accomodation were outstanding. Special thanks to Fabio and Dickie for leading us on our incredible orangutan adventure in the Jungle (two day trek). They were extremely professional and knowledgeable while having fun and really connecting with us as a family. Thank you also for our extra visit to the Jungle Gym! 💪 Our 3 days (Bukit Lawang -Berestagi-Lake Toba) with driver/guide Ariss was also fantastic. We felt safe at all times. His driving was exceptional as well as his ability to answer our never-ending questions and share so much of his life and culture with us. A highlight of our trip was our week diving and snorkelling on Pulau Weh Island, amazing underwater adventures. This section of our trip involved lots of moving parts and Christine handled all of this and was easily contacted at anytime. If you’re looking for help with a trip to Sumatra, this is the place for you. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous family vacation across Northern Sumatra. Highly recommend the overnight jungle stay, climbing the Sibayak volcano, and visiting lake Tabo. A great team and outstanding memories.

A well organised and fascinating week
We did a private tour around North Sumatra and had a fabulous time. Highlights for us were the overnight stay in the jungle camp, waking up to take a “shower” in the river, dawn from the top of Sibayak volcano, and touring around the incredible Batak villages on Samosir in Lake Toba. Highly recommended!
