The Sumatra tour was very interesting and allowed us to see some parts of Sumatra that are untouched by tourism. Our tour guide Ilham was amazing, so knowledgable, friendly and fun-could not have asked for more from him. A large amount of the tour was spent travelling between places with multiple days being only travel days (no chill time like the itinerary stated) so I feel like this could have been made more clear in the information prior to booking. However overall a great experience with many once in a life time opportunities. Thanks again Ilham, you were fab!!
I did the Sumatra 9 day trip and it was AMAZING!! We were so lucky to have Illham as our guide, he was so helpful, always made sure we were okay and was so much fun to be around! The tour takes you to see so many interesting places, the orangutans were incredible and Ricky’s beach house was very beautiful.
Primates & Dragons of Indonesia It was a great trip. Exceeded all my expectations.Our guide Elly was brilliant and always on hand if we needed anything. The local guides that were used on various parts of the trip were also very good. On the 2 days spent in the forest in Bukit Lawang we saw Orang Utans within 20 minutes of leaving our lodge. Getting fresh local fruit in the middle of the jungle was a very welcome treat. Possibly the juiciest pineapple i have ever eaten. On the boat trip to Komodo and Rinca Islands the food was very good and fresh. Sleeping on the deck of the boat was great. Saw about 15 Komodo's over the visits to the two Islands. the snorkelling off the both on numerous occasions was brilliant. Crystal clear waters where we saw loads of turtles and fish to rival the Barrier Reef. Bring an underwater camera, I didn't and i'm sorry i didn't. The only slight gripe i have was the walk to the volcano/lava fields. In my opinion this was a waste of time. Elly had asked us if anyone wanted to try Durian fruit. A few of us said yes, so Elly stopped at a stall selling it. Trying Durian fruit has been on my bucket list for a long time. It tastes as disgusting as it smells but I'm glad i tried it. Overall it was a great trip and one i would highly recommend.
