F.A.Q.
Safety is our priority. For the Family Adventure package, we select flatter, gentle trails that avoid steep climbs or dangerous terrain. Furthermore, we always provide two team members for every family group to ensure constant supervision and helping hand for your little ones
We recommend this package for children aged 5 and above. At this age, children ussualy have the stamina for a 2-3 hour gentle walk and can safely enjoy the river tubing. If you have younger children(ages 3-4), please contact us-we can arrange a private porter to carry them when they get tired
We follow a “slow-pace” philosophy. We don’t rush. We take frequent breaks for snack, hydration, and to look at interesting jungle. Our guides are experts at keeping children engaged with jungle stories to keep their spirit high
Yes, it is the highlight of the trip! we provide high quality life jackets specifically sized for children. The tubes are tied together to form a stable “raft” controlled by our professional tubing captains. It is a gentle, fun slash back to your hotel
We provide fresh tropical fruits and a traditional jungle picnic ( usually rice, chicken, and vegetables). We can prepare the food non-spicy for children. If your child has specific allergies (nuts, dairy, gluten), please let us know during booking so we can prepare accordingly
While Bukit Lawang is not considered a high-risk malaria zone, mosquitoes are present. We recommend using a kid-safe insect repellent and wearing long-sleeved light clothing in the evenings. We always suggest consulting your family doctor for medical advice before traveling to southeast Asia
