The driver and guide for the walk to the viewing area were fantastic. Great company and lot's of fascinating local information. Also very special that this was a personal guide with only two other small groups at the viewing area. Can't recommend strongly enough!

My Guide was excellent, she showed me around the village, and explained the local flora and fauna. She adapted the itinerary to me and used her initiative. I was very interested in the different fruits and plants that grew, and the views were stunning. Highly recommend booking a guide, the tour around the traditional village was also interesting! My only comments were its very hot so make sure to take lots of water and wear a hat, and opt to start an earlier at 8am before the day gets too hot.

Honestly I think I was extremely lucky to have booked this trip with Rudy Trekker on Seek Sophie, it turned out to be an out of the world experience for me. I think November is a low season so the trip became like a private trip because I was the only trekker they had for a 2D1N crater rim hike package. My guide Dika was very profesional and attentive, I don't feel hurried in my hike, moreover, i'm not a seasoned hiker and absolutely did not train for this, I booked everything on a whim. So i was extremely grateful for Dika's patience and tolerance with my hiking speed. Then there's Adi, my porter. Words can't describe how incredible porters are. In addition to carrying loads that are insane heavy, hiking up the mountain, Adi prepared all these AMAZING MEALS along the hike.....which is mind blowing, it still feels surreal to me. This experience is so incredible that I have decided to join another hike next year! Till we meet again guys !

I loved my trip with the Getaway Camp. My driver Ryan was punctual and he was great at answering my constant questions. I loved eating fruit I’d never seen before at the traditional market and have a mad breakfast of fried bananas chocolate honey and cheese - delicious! And it was at a lookout with an amazing view. My guide through the forest, Comer was also very knowledgeable and interesting. He also had a great sense of humour! The forest was spectacular. Full of giant ficus and palms. A true rainforest!!! After the hike we paddled across the lake with the help of a strong and friendly woman Lunch was great. So tasty and exactly what I needed to refuel. I am so glad I chose to go with the Getaway Camp as it really does benefit local Munduk people. Thanks so much!!!

This trip is not one to miss! Hirman was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable about every little detail. He knew the best spots for sunrise and how to make our trip unique. Thank you to our driver Hasan who was very safe and made sure we were comfortable. Experiencing this in a couple or a small group is ideal as you set the pace and can make the experience what you want it to be.

I highly recommend this trek with seek Sophie! From pick-up to drop off we were very happy with our experience. Our driver was very communicative and on time for pick-up. Our guide, Mister, was great - very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Although it’s an early morning start, the view at the top is so worth it. We also liked that the hike was pretty private - it was just the two of us and our guide which made the hike much more enjoyable as we could go at our own pace and the trails were also not packed.
