An all around amazing experience! Drivers and guides were very professional and also attentive/responsive to your needs. Thank you to Arjana and Kadek who made this the highlight of our stay here in Bali. We did: Mt Batur Sunrise Hike with Coffee Plantation, Hot Springs and Rice Fields Details of the day: We were staying in Ubud and at 2:15 am our driver Arjana came to pick us up. Car ride was as smooth as he could have driven on the narrow and winding roads up to Mt. Batur. There we met our guide for the hike, Kadek. Water and headlamps and a walking stick for climbing was provided here. The hike itself was slightly more steep than expected. However a wonderful experience to walk under the stars. While it was quite dark, we felt safe and cared for at every turn thanks to Kadek's hospitality. We would definitely recommend bringing a jacket or hoodie, or both as it was very cold once you get to the top. Good hiking or trekking shoes are almost a must as well, the pebbly terrain at the start of the trail is very slippery even when dry. The private guide also allowed for us to hike at our own pace, which helped a lot, given that the hike was a bit more strenuous than expected. At the top, we were served a simple breakfast while we waited for the sunrise. Kadek was very professional and helped us take very nice photos as well as introduce us to the different parts that make up Mt Batur's scenery. The hike down is just as scenic or maybe even better than the sunrise. After the hike, Arjana drove us to the various spots we paid for where he drove us right up to the entrance and got our tickets for us. He was always very quick to respond when we were done touring the area and fast at bringing us to the next location. Thank you all again for the tour!

Booked: Private Mount Batur Sunrise Trek | Stop at Coffee Farm

We did a 2-day tour to Mount Bromo, Tumpak Sewu, and Madakaripura Waterfalls with Seek Sophie & Boyo Tour and Travel. The trip was truly fantastic! The tour was very well organized and customized according to our wishes. Even beforehand, we received excellent support from Olivia (customer service) during the planning and whenever we had questions – she was always available to help us. The drivers, guides, and accommodation over the two days were also great. We felt very well taken care of and would highly recommend this organization to everyone!

Booked: 2D1N Private Bromo Sunrise Trip | From Surabaya or Malang

Trip was extremely well organised. We were collected from the airport with the driver waiting with a sign to collect us, from there everything was arranged for us.

Booked: 3D2N Tumpak Sewu Bromo Ijen | From Surabaya or Malang

The trip was amazing!! The local guide was great! He showed us the local way of life and told many interesting stories. Wi was enthusiastic and just a really fun guy to hang out with. I love how the local community is involved with this experience. We got breakfast from a sweet lady in the village nearby and the view was stunning. I’m so happy that I chose to book this tour instead of the regular mount batur. On the way we saw many many jeeps and people heading that way while our experience felt so much more exclusive and close to the ‘real Bali’. Would definitely recommend everyone to do this.

Booked: Bali's Best Kept Secret: Unique Mt Batur Trek and Lake Batur Boat Ride

This is a very, very easy jungle trek with clearly marked trails, suitable for most 5yos and older. It’s shaded and comfortable. The guide was friendly and shared interesting nuggets about the flora and fauna. The boat ride across the lake was safe and relaxing. The waterfalls are beautiful and not too crowded. Getting down to the waterfalls and going back up is quite demanding physically. But you don’t necessarily have to combine it with the jungle trekking; the tickets to enter the waterfalls is only IDR30K.

Booked: Munduk: Ancient Jungle Trekking and Remote Waterfalls Adventure

This hike was much, much better than my first one a year ago. Our guide, Nawa, planned our stops expertly, ensuring we had the best experiences and views. Our way up was not overly crowded. We reached the summit way ahead of time, allowing us to choose the best spot. He was accommodating with my 9yo son’s request to go to various areas at the summit. He did a good job looking after us and is an expert photographer (look at the photo)! Our driver Yosi was patient and safe. He gave good introductions along the way. 100% recommended!
