Boyo Travels does exceptionally well in their planning. All the trip events were well timed and the driver Lukman was serving us very well including all the selected guides for all the trips.

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

Our tour exceeded our expectations. We did the daytime tour and seeing Mount Bromo in itself was spectacular. Our guide Hirman was kind, patient and knowledgeable, recommending us to leave earlier to beat the rain and crowds. He made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. Our driver Kosmos took us to and from safely. The entire tour was very organized. I highly recommend joining this tour!

Booked: Bromo Sunrise & Stargazing | Beat the Crowds

Driver Bayu was very good driver, very friendly and had marvellous suggestions for stops on the for food and drinks. The program is attractive. Very appreciated we received an update each with the program with the exact (suggested) timeline. We did pick up in Surabaya , but got a next time I would suggest Malang (or pay additional and do pick up from Yogyakarta). The guesthouses are all very nice and they offer simple but very good breakfast.

Booked: 4D3N Bromo + Ijen + Tumpak Sewu + Rainbow Village

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!

Booked: Munduk: Ancient Jungle Trekking and Remote Waterfalls Adventure

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.
