Love letters from our guests

An absolute highlight of our trip! We were lucky and had the walk to ourselves. Our driver Yosi and guide Wi were both extremely lovely and shared so many great stories and interesting knowledge. The view from the rim was incredible even on our cloudy morning and we loved getting to take the boat across the lake. Definitely worth the early rise (3am for us in Ubud so not too bad) and we got back with so much day left to spend.

I had a wonderful experience. The tubing place was closed due to high rainfall so the driver spoke to the head office and found a new location to go to and arranged everything. We even stopped at a coffee place on the way back to Jogja. Everyone was very friendly. I found it hard to accept that villagers pull you up at the end however I was told it is an additional income for farmers and it is an equitable system between the owner and the farmer. I helped pull some people up and had a chat with a farmer whilst pulling someone up. They were very friendly and kept saying thank you, although I don't think I helped much 🤣

We hiked in a small group of 4. Our guide was very friendly and allowed us to hike at our pace. The hike itself is not overly challenging, and most people with a decent level of fitness should be able to handle it fine. It took us an hour to climb, and that was at quite a leisurely pace. We had a breakfast consisting of a banana sandwich, boiled eggs, a chocolate bar, and a hot coffee at the summit. This was the perfect way to soak in the view. I would highly recommend this experience.

Admin was very responsive and texted us each day to update on next day's itinerary and things to note/pack. Our driver Doraemon drove well and took us to our destinations safely for the whole trip! Meal stops were all clean, nice and reasonably priced places. Waterfall was beautiful! Make sure to wear shoes/sandals that are not slippery as the steps down to the waterfall is quite slippery (wet steel). Wear a waterproof jacket or bring a change of clothes as you'll get really wet. First accom at Kopikuin Homestay was clean and cosy, with a simple and yummy breakfast prepared for us after coming back from Mount Bromo. Second accom was not as listed - we stayed at Baratha Hotel which was quite dated. The breakfast buffet had nothing left when we came back from Ijen at around 9am. Also, not sure if the jeep driver for Bromo was supposed to be a guide or just a driver. He drove us to the crater then just asked us to follow another group which he said was under the same company. The other group went down first as we wanted to take more pictures up there, and we had a hard time finding our jeep/driver after we got down on our own (it was peak season during the xmas weekend).
