SUMATRA ORANGUTAN EXPLORE
This agency offers ethical treks in Gunung Leuser National Park. Their 1 to 10-day treks aim to preserve the region's ecosystem and biodiversity, while passing on essential information to travellers. The certified English-speaking guides, passionate about their profession, are more than competent (and oh so friendly) and adhere strictly to park regulations. A perfect score. We'd write a multi-page ovation in their honor.
