2 weeks North Sumatra & Belitung Island

Discover orangutans, volcanoes, crater lakes and tropical island life in the Seychelles of Indonesia.

This 2 week package tour combines the highlights of North Sumatra with the white sandy beaches and granite rock formations of Belitung Island. Experience the rainforest of Gunung Leuser National Park, meet wild orangutans, relax at the shores of Lake Toba, explore the Batak culture and finish your journey in one of Indonesia’s most beautiful island destinations.

This itinerary is perfect for travelers who want to combine adventure, nature, culture and several relaxing beach days without the crowds of Bali.

This 2 weeks North Sumatra tour is a proposal. We will gladly adapt it to your individual wishes and ideas. Simply contact us for this purpose.

Note: The prices quoted are from prices based on 2 travellers. There is a single room supplement. They include all inclusive services shown. Higher prices apply primarily in the high season from May to July and on Indonesian public holidays such as Ramadan or Idul Fitri. All prices in euros and per person.

For families: There are no special prices for children on our round trips, but we do offer families a reduced overall price. Children under the age of 2, who sleep in their parents’ bed, travel free of charge.

Getting to Belitung: Currently there are only flights from Jakarta or Singapore onto Belitung Island. So from Medan you need to take 2 flights. We therefore only recommend this tour for travellers who will fly from/to Jakarta or Singapore anyways or have onwards travel from these airports.

Tour Plan

2 Jungle Trekking

Today we go on a 2-day jungle tour and with a little luck you can see orangutans in the wild. Our guides are licensed by the national park office and have years of experience in jungle trekking. There are two guides available for the day. You will be picked up from your accommodation at 9 a.m. and then walk into the jungle together. The hike lasts about 6 hours including breaks for photos and food.

In the afternoon you reach the camp near a river. You can jump into the water or just relax. Our cook will prepare an Indonesian dinner for you (vegetarian options possible). You will sleep in a semi-open shelter surrounded by the sounds of the river and jungle.

Alternative: If you don’t want to spend the night in the jungle, you can do only a 1-day trek and do more activities in Bukit Lawang the next day.

Note: For the jungle trek we put together groups of max. 6 people. However, the rest of the tour will be a private tour.

3 Jungle Trekking

After waking up, our cook will provide you with coffee, tea and breakfast. You can jump back into the fresh water of the river. Depending on the campsite we will then continue the jungle adventure and trek for about 2 hours or we will go to a waterfall where you can swim and relax. You can also just relax in the camp. After lunch we leave the camp for the traditional jungle raft. The afternoon is free.
