This tour was more than we expected ! Beyond imagination...and it is not only about seeing orangutans and other animals. Delicious food, comfortable setting included shower and toilet (!) , fantastic service and endless serenity ...
I don't what I like more seeing those beautiful creatures or just be taken away by boat cruise on gorgeous jungle river entire day. Sleeping under sky with pink mosquito...
Boeken ging heel gemakkelijk. Aanbetaling per paypal. Rest contant er plekke (begin dus tijdig met het pinnen van de max. hoeveelheden die je mag). Communicatie was prima. Alle vragen werden snel en duidelijk beantwoord. Bij aankomst wordt je opgehaald door iemand van Local Guides en bij vertrek ook weer weggebracht (handig!).
De boot (One Piece) was prima (met een western toilet en douche. dit...
This tour was absolutely fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience to see orangutans in the wild. Our guide, Nur, went above and beyond to make sure that all our needs/wants were taken care of, and was enthusiastic to explain all about the wildlife and conservation challenges they face. The 5 days/4 nights was a perfect amount of time to get in a ton of orangutan sightings and experience...
We had very high expectations of our Tanjung Puting tour, and it still exceeded our expectations! While cruising along the river sekonyer using klotok, we saw many bekantan and birds. The first feeding place there were some orangutans in tanjung harapan station, and then we set out again down the river and staying near the jungle lodge, a delicious diner completed the fascinating day! We slept under...
Deze tour geboekt, van te voren geen informatie ingewonnen, achteraf helemaal niet nodig! Super tour! Geweldige gids die alles wist en alle animals wist te vinden, ook veel informatie over de planten. Eten was ook super. Al met al een prachtige ervaring met deze geweldige organisatie.
Amazing tour with these fantastic tour operator. The guides were very friendly and knew everything about the animals,...
3 days 2 nights was the perfect amount of time, spend the days searching for animals and the nights in a shanti camp, eating well prepared meals, with some card trick entertainment. Anytime less than this trekking you get stuck in a bit of a tourist trap at the semi wild orangutans and in season it can become tedious. The furtherin you go the better and less full of other people and a more authentic...
This tour was an amazing surprise. Everything was well organised. We booked with the help of local guides and had Nur has guide.
The klokok is really nice and peaceful. You sleep in the jungle with these amazing sounds of the animals and the nature.
In october there were not so many people so it was quite nice ans of course seeing the orangoutans is something to do.
The food on the boat was...
Ich habe dort leider nur den 2 Tag und 1 Nacht Trek gemacht, das war viel zu kurz.
Edi und seine Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr nett und freundlich. Das ganze Dorf ist es.
Es wurde sich einfach um Alles gekümmert und sämtliche Sorgen wurden einen genommen. Die Guides sind sehr bemüht und auch lustig. Man merkt richtig dass es ihnen mega Spaß macht den Menschen ihre "Heimat" zu zeigen.

Have booked the excellent guide Budi for a few days with my mother and my fiance and was more than satisfied what our guide Budi shows us.
He is very professional and knows so much about the torajan history, which he explains in an good english very enthusiastic (he loves his job, the nature and people.)
Because of him, we could join an ceremony and felt integrated, as he knew everybody and could...
We had an amazing time. Our guide, Adhi, met us the evening before at our guest house (Sam's bungalow) and went through the plan for the next couple of days and everything we'd need to bring. He then met us again after breakfast the next morning. He organised for our bags to be stored whilst we were trekking and off we went.
We saw loads of orangutans and other wildlife during our trek, we had our...
I contacted Sal well before my holiday started, and since the beginning he has been nothing but great, thoughtful and creative to find the best solution for my trip that me and my family wanted. The 3 days tour on a boat in the Borneo jungle have turned out to be the best memories of our holiday in Indonesia!
Living on a boat for 3 days, seeing a lot of Orangutan and funny looking proboscis monkeys,...
The tour was wonderful and well organised by our guide Nur.
The residence is a boat known as a klotok. It’s basic sleeping and washing, which is fit for purpose, and makes you feel a lot closer to the jungle. We loved every minute.
The food and drinks on board are excellent. The walks though the jungle even better.
We saw several orang-utans on each day, including a close up (it touched my...
Me and my family visited mount Sibayak with the North Sumatran Local Guides team (local-guides dot org) as part of our 9D8N Sumatra tour. It was TRUELY AWESOME! The volcano hike was probably the most memorable experience I've had in my trip to Sumatra. The guys are really fun and easy-going and provide interesting details about the area and show places you wouldn't find without a local. Usually I like...
To learn about the Tara Toraja culture, the best option we took was to have Local-guides and with Budi, an excellent guide. It was a success from the beginning, until the end.
The visit, of 4 days, was intense and did not leave us indifferent. The explanations, the landscape, its people and especially its culture, exceeded our expectations completely. 100% Recommmendable!

Wir hatten im voraus die Tour über die Webseite von Local Guides gebucht und unsere Erwartungen wurden mehr als übertroffen. Es war einmalig!
Wir wurden von unserem Hotel pünktlich abgeholt und zum Boot gebracht. Alles war sehr gut organisiert. Unser Guide Joe Bowo - ein ehemaliger Ranger des Tanjung Puting National Park (siehe auch den Spiegel-Artikel "Orang-Utans auf Borneo - Mensch trifft Waldmensch")...
Local-Guides helped us incredibly with all our questions beforehand via email, and always replied promptly, enthusiastically and patiently! We booked through them also a very comfortable (airco, shower) accommodation, beautifully bordering the jungle, for a supergood price.
And our guides were spectacular! Firstly, I was positively surprised that despite the good price we had, we had not just one...
What an amazing time I had! I booked 3 nights and just had the most amazing time. So peaceful and feeling at one with nature. My guide Darmin was fantastic and everything you'd want from a guide. (I am actually a tour guide myself!!!) I felt so lucky to see so many orangutans. The feeding stations were super organised by the rangers so I didn't feel like it was interfering with nature. The organisation...
Haben über local guides die klotok Tour gebucht. Budi holte uns einen Tag vor Beginn der Tour abends nach einer langen Busfahrt von Makassar in Rantepao ab. Wir besprachen die Tour, aßen lecker zu Abend und er brachte uns in unsere etwas entferntere Unterkunft von Rantepao,was wohl sonst nicht so üblich ist.
Eine Unterkunft Nähe Zentrum ist definitiv eher zu empfehlen, obwohl es außerhalb landschaftlich...
If you want to go on a wildlife tour you never will forget, then take a trip with Local Guide, deep into the jungle!
We did a 4 days / 3 nights trek inside Gunung Leuser Nationalpark, mainly to see the Orangutang. But, wauw, we got so much more!
Ofc. Wildlife is never something you can expect, only something you can hope to see on your way, but if you pick Local Guide you can be sure that they...
We did a 3 days/2 nights trek with our guide Randy. He was so helpful, was constantly looking for animals and told us everything about the flora and fauna. Also, he was really considerate about if we could keep up. We saw many different animals and beautiful nature. The camps were also really nice, the food is so good (and so much) and the atmosphere is great - all guides and cooks are really nice....
