Wild orangutans, volcanic lakes, ancient tribes and rice terraces stretching to the horizon. Private tailor-made expeditions across Sumatra and Mentawai — with a French guide who calls this island home.
I'm Fred — a French guide who has called Sumatra home for over a decade. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, a family or a group, I'll build the journey that fits you best. Private tours, classic itineraries or something completely off the beaten track — you choose, I make it happen.
Orangutan trekking in Bukit Lawang, Batak culture on Lake Toba, the cliffs of Harau Valley, ancient Mentawai tribes... Tell me what interests you and we'll figure out the rest.. Private, flexible, and always off the beaten track.

Whether you want a private tour, a group adventure or a classic itinerary — I'll make sure you see the real Sumatra.
Plan My TripOrangutan trekking, active volcanoes, hidden waterfalls and pristine beaches — Sumatra is one of the most biodiverse islands on Earth, and most of it still has no crowds.
Real time with Batak, Minangkabau and Mentawai people — Authentic exchanges, sharing meals, ceremonies and daily life. ok?
Your dates, your pace, your interests. I handle everything: transport, accommodation, local guides.
I work with local guides, family-run guesthouses and community-based operators. Ensure the fragile ecosystems of Sumatra and Mentawai are preserved.
One of only two places on Earth where orangutans still live in the wild. Sumatran tigers, elephants, rhinoceros, and the legendary Rafflesia — the world's largest flower.
Fred showed us a side of Sumatra that no guidebook ever could. A deeply human, authentic and visually breathtaking experience. The best trip of our lives.
