Joined as a solo traveller with another friendly Korean couple and Gedeh was our guide. Felt very safe throughout the whole journey as Gedeh was leading from the front, and there was another guide at the back to ensure that no one gets behind him. Mountain bikes were good to tackle both road and off road terrains. Went through villages, local’s house, farms, fire fly sanctuary, rice fields - so beautiful and peaceful!! Cycling wasn’t tiring at all for me as it was all downslope with occasional uphills. Breakfast/ lunch restaurant was great too. Gedeh spoke fluent English, and we all shared a little bit of our own cultures and countries, much like a cultural exchange. Very well organised tour, truly enjoyed myself, no regrets doing this on my solo trip in Bali Ubud. Highly recommended!

My 10yo and I had the best time today on this cycling tour! Neither of us are what you’d call advanced cyclists 😂 But the cycling is mostly downhill, we felt safe and comfortable with the pace and difficulty, and the guides are fantastic! Food was delicious too - we’re still thinking about those pandan pancakes and the yummy lunch! One of our highlights from our stay in Ubud, so glad we got to experience this and get off the beaten path for a little adventure!

What an amazing experience it was. Thanks to Dedi and the rest of the East Indonesia Trip crew we were having lots of fun and they took very good care of us. Clear instructions and open to any questions. Dedi was not only a good guide during hikes and snorkeling but also a great photographer including underwater camera and drone shots. Snorkeling every day, sometimes multiple times a day in beatiful coral reefs. We swam with manta rays, sea turtles, sharks and other sealife. Hikes were nice for the views and pictures. The Komodo national park was very hot but seeing multiple Komodo dragons made it worth it. Back at the boat the crew already prepared meals and always welcomed us with cold towels and fresh juices. They kept the boat very clean during our stay and were super friendly. We didn't have to lift a finger. Always provided plenty of good water and the fridge was filled with soda's for us to take. The food was memorable and better than some crews on other boats serve (friend experience), restaurant-quality meals every time and always a fully new and delicious menu every meal. Dietary restrictions for guests were taken into account as well. Luckily not really a party boat but on the last night the crew showed their dance moves ;) When we left, I said to my partner that I would do this again without a doubt. Good vibes!

Great cycling tour in Bali! The guides were friendly and attentive, keeping us safe at intersections and explaining the route in advance. The path is mostly easy for beginners—downhill sections are smooth, though much of the trail is a bit bumpy. Best of all, you get to see real rural life in the north of Ubud, far from the usual tourist spots. Highly recommended for a fun and authentic ride.

Hicimos el crucero de 3 días en el barco 1 en la habitación Hindia. Nos sorprendió gratamente el barco y la comida. La habitación cómoda y espaciosa para ser un barco, aislada en la cubierta superior y con algo más de privacidad. Buenas zonas comunes de comedor y solárium en cubierta. Comida rica, abundante y variada. Hecha con mimo. Tripulación muy amable y simpatica. El fotógrafo nos hizo fotos muy bonitas y vídeos espectaculares con el dron que luego nos pasó. El recorrido y la travesía en barco es espectacular y merece muchísimo la pena. Todas las islas, puntos de snorkel y de interés que se visitan son maravillosos. Conseguimos ver y hacer snorkel varias veces y con varios ejemplares de tortugas, mantas, crías de tiburones de puntas negras e incluso alguna serpiente marina. Lo recomiendo 100%. Es una experiencia preciosa e inolvidable.

Our trip with Sail with Papiton was truly unforgettable — an experience that exceeded every expectation. The crew was warm, attentive, and professional, creating an atmosphere that felt both adventurous and relaxed. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from the delicious meals on board to the seamless coordination of dives and island visits. We had the chance to dive with turtles, spot manta rays, see Komodo dragons up close, and even snorkel with baby sharks — all while being surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The boat itself was comfortable, beautifully maintained, and perfect for both group bonding and quiet moments on deck. Beyond the incredible sights, what made this trip special was the sense of community and connection. We started as strangers and ended the journey with new friends and countless memories. If you’re looking for a sailing trip that combines adventure, nature, and genuine hospitality, Sail with Papiton is the one to go for. Highly recommended!

Booked: 3D2N Komodo Trip | Rare Padar Sunset

We had an incredible experience with this Komodo Islands tour! The team picked us up right on time and we even departed early — which meant we were among the first to reach Padar Island for sunrise. The hike view was absolutely breathtaking and totally worth the early start. Pink Beach was just magical — and yes, it’s actually pink! They had told us that spotting Komodo dragons is based on luck, and we were beyond thrilled to see 4 of them. Same with Manta Rays — we ended up swimming with 9 gentle giants… surreal and unforgettable moment. Lunch was delicious — We were vegetarian and they prepared lots of fresh tempeh and tofu for us. On top of that, there was unlimited water and Coke available throughout the trip. Not to forget the coffee bun Overall, the organization, timing, and experience were perfect from start to finish. Highly recommended — one of the best adventure day
