During these 10 days you will not only see the beauty of the pure nature of Indonesia – you will feel the soul of this country: experience life in the primitive tribe, meet the dawn at the top of the active volcano, go in search of wild monkeys in the middle of jungles, raft down the mountain river and learn to catch a wave while standing on a surf.
Let us help you to fall in love with Indonesia!
Trip Itinerary
Day 1-2
Meeting each other in Kuala Namu Medan airport and going to Bukit Lawang – beautiful small village near the jungles. We will be exploring the surroundings – such as rubber plantations, pineapples trees and bat caves where you will feel yourself a real explorer! Our relax day after the flight will also include a barbeque with fresh fruits right near a river with pure water where we will be swimming and enjoying the beauty around.
Day 3
Going in search of orangutans! They are already waiting for us! We will be having a half-day trekking to see these unique animals and have a lunch right in the jungles. Maybe one of them will even come to join us for some snack. At the end of the day we will raft down the river back to the hotel.
Day 4
Time for other astonishing creatures – elephants! We are going to the sanctuary early in the morning to get to the river before the time animals are coming for water from the jungles. You are not allowed to ride them – but you may do a better thing for them – wash an elephant in the river! Believe us – you’ll never forget these emotions!
After the sanctuary we will transfer to Berastagi for tomorrow’s trekking to a real volcano.
Day 5-6
Another active and emotional day – we will be trekking to the top of the real, active volcano! Check out a small volcanic lake in the crater and yellow sulfur fumaroles that seem to be breathing with a hot smoke!
After the trekking we will have time to relax in the hot springs where only locals usually go – get ready for perfect views of volcanoes around the place as well as for some attention from locals side.
Transfer to Padang to catch a flight to our next destination – Padang, from which we will start our journey to the Mentawai islands!
Day 7-8
Good bye, civilization, hello wild nature! We are going to the very deep jungles to get the authentic experience of spending 2 days with the tribe family in their house! We will be fishing and exploring the surroundings together, creating their traditional “clothes from the wood”, getting hand-made bracelets from shaman and cooking “sagu” dish from palm trees with women. This will be unforgettable!
Day 9-11
Relax time! Going to the beach! We will get to an even more remote island where we will have a private beach and no one else around! Perfectly clear blue water, white sand, coconut trees around and no crowds as well as no internet – enjoy the uniqueness of Indonesian Maldives!
For additional price you may also try surfing – but get ready for really big waves as waters around are well-known as one of the best surfing places in the world for professionals!
Day 12-13
After having a breakfast we are taking our small motor boat to get to the port of the main island through the ocean and mangroves. Taking a ferry back to Padang and having our good-bye dinner there. Spending the night at the hotel and departing back home. Have a nice flight!
