I highly recommend this experience - the private group guide was amazing and managed to keep us away from most of the crowds. The view at the top is well worth the hike, which is fairly easy to do. They also provided a delicious breakfast and coffee at the top.

Wonderful hike despite the rain and fog. The hike is not that hard, we managed to do it with our 2 children (11 and 13). Our guide Wi was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Great experience!

This trip is a great adventure. From the pickup to the canoe-hike-lunch-waterfall swim - we really enjoyed the variety of activities in one day! Dodik and Butu were excellent drivers and guides. The canoe and rainforest guides were also knowledgeable and efficient. Lunch at Aunty’s was generous and delicious. And the waterfalls were a lovely cold plunge to calm the body and mind after an active day. A great 10 person family adventure and we will be keeping a couple of funny memories from along the way!

It was the most fabulous experience. From start to finish. The taxi driver Yosi walked to meet me as I was staying down a dark and unlit alley in Ubud at the 2.50am start. The journey was comfortable to the starting point where we met with the incredible guide by the name of Wi. Wi bought head torches for our use and carefully guided me towards the boat. Staring up at the stars was inspiring. After tying to boat up we started the steady but uphill ascent of the mountain. WI was always there to lend a hand and advise which parts of the path needed careful navigating. Reaching the summit I was treated to lovely ginger tea, fruit, a chocolate bar and Nutella sandwiches. I really needed these! The clouds magically started to disappear and as the sun rose I got some amazing photos and Wi proved a master at photography! The descent was slower as slippery due to the rain...but I had brought my walking pole ( a stick will suffice) and this helped tremendously. With an ever helpful hand from Wi I was led safely down the path learning about some of the fauna on the way. Back on the boat I was shown the Lady of the Lake goddess and the fish farm then proceeded back towards the shore and the taxi waiting patiently to take me back into Ubud. Friends and relatives all were amazed at the photos and I will have some printed on canvas as a lasting memory. It is rare to find a trip where one feels so very welcome..not just a paying tourist. I wish all concerned the very best for 2026 and thank you all for really making the experience one to cherish.
