    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re really pleased to hear that your Sumatra Adventure was so memorable and that you enjoyed the balance of nature, culture, and adventure throughout the journey. Seeing Sumatra’s unique wildlife and landscapes up close is something we know stays with travellers long after the trip ends, so it’s wonderful to hear how meaningful those moments were for you. It’s especially great to know that Lili and Karim made such a positive impact on your experience. Their care, knowledge, and commitment to sharing Sumatra in an authentic way are exactly what we aim to offer on our tours, and your feedback will be shared with them and the wider local team. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another Intrepid adventure soon.

      Can you give us an indication of the costs for the transfer to the hotel and to the airport on the last day? We would need leave on the 20th relatively early, in order to be at the airport around 8am.

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2025

      Airport transfers arrival would be EUR 36 and departure would also be EUR 36 and that is for a private vehicle accommodating 2 travelers.

  • J

    Jackie

    Asked on January 28th, 2025

    We're interested in booking the 10 day Sumatra Discovery tour in May but wondered whether there's a possibility of adding on a short additional tour out of Medan either before or after the main tour starts. Do you have any suggestions?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2025

      While we're unable to assist with organizing additional day tours out of Medan, you're welcome to arrange these independently. However, please note that during the Sumatra Adventure trip itself, there likely won't be sufficient time to include a day trip due to the tour's itinerary and schedule. Therefore, to explore additional tours, we recommend planning them either by arriving in Medan earlier than your trip's start date or staying on after your trip concludes.

  • D

    Donald

    Asked on September 11th, 2024

    I would like you to design and organize a trip for January 2025 to Sumatra, including destinations such as Mentawai Island, Bukittinggi, and the Aral Valley. Please create an itinerary where I can stay for several days in the same location, rather than moving from place to place every day. I would like the trip to include activities such as trekking, diving, and other physical, body-centered experiences.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written September 2024

      We do have a tailor made team that is able to put together customer itineraries however they do need a minimum group size of 4 or more people. Will this be a group or just yourself traveling?

    Asked on April 19th, 2023

    Which accommodations does the choice of single vs twin room apply to?
