Review Body: We spent several days traveling around Bali with Justin and his team, covering Nusa Penida (2 days), Ubud, Mt. Batur, East Bali, and Nusa Dua. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend him if you want a stress-free trip in Bali. Justin is experienced, professional, punctual, and has a very wide network in Bali. You can almost arrange everything through him. He is not just a driver or tour guide, but also a great planner who gives practical advice and helps customize your itinerary according to your needs. One thing travelers should know, Bali is BIG. Distances between places are much farther than expected. For example, one of our trips from East Bali to Nusa Dua covered almost 82 km. Having a private driver made a huge difference and saved us a lot of stress. My advice to fellow tourists, booking a private driver is worth it. People often ask for “non-touristy” places in Bali, but honestly, tourists are everywhere in Bali. What makes the difference is having someone like Justin and his team who know how to navigate the crowds, timing, and routes to make your experience smoother. Special shoutout to Mr. Yoshi and Kedek from his team, they were helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the journey. The cars were also comfortable, which mattered a lot during long travel days. All the places they brought us to were wonderful, and we created many good memories along the way. If you travel to Bali with Justin, you really do not need to worry much, things are well planned, communication is good, and you can focus on enjoying your holiday. Thank you Justin and team for making our Bali trip memorable. We would happily travel with you again in the future.

Review Body: Justin is very reliable and was in touch regularly to ensure we found him outside arrivals. He is a good driver (necessary for Balinese roads!) and engaging company during the journey with lots of insights and updates about Bali and places to see / eat.

Review Body: We were picked up from our hotel at 6am by Justin who was very friendly and helpful. After a beautiful boat ride to Nusa Penida we met our guide Ran who was excellent, giving us lots of information about the island and each place we stopped at. He answered all our questions and took lots of pictures and videos for us! The seaweed plantation was an awesome and unique experience, being able to get hands on and see how the process was done was great fun. We then went to Atuha and Diamond beach, both are only accessible by a long staircase which was very doable. We went half way down to diamond beach for photos and then took some time to chill at the beautiful and relaxing Atuha beach. Lastly we went to a Temple, we didn’t really know what to expect but it turned out to be a big highlight of our trip. As we went up a few steps and into a small prayer area, we were then brought to a hole in the corner which we crawled through. This brought us to a massive cave filled with incense and lit up by small lights giving the place a very magical feel, it was incredible! We were then dropped off at our booked accommodation where we watched the sunset over the sea perfect end to a great day! Our second day was equally as magical. We requested to visit Kelingking beach in the early morning at 6am, rather than the afternoon, as we hoped it would be less busy. We were right! We practically had the place to ourselves and the morning light was beautiful. The climb down to the beach is pretty treacherous in some areas but totally worth it! After Kelingking beach, we went to Broken beach and Angel Billabong (they’re in the same area) which were very busy at 10:30am. The look out spots were very beautiful and great photo opportunities but expect queues to take your picture. We were also able to see Manta Rays at Broken beach which was very cool. We ended the day with a fabulous snorkel trip. Ran made sure the whole process at the snorkel place was smooth and easy for us after we had changed the time and even stayed while we snorkled to look after our bags, a very kind gesture. The snorkling was fantastic! We saw Manat Rays at Manta Bay which was incredible and loads of exotic fish and coral. An excellent way to end our trip in Nusa Penida. Ran then helped us get to the harbour in order to catch our boat back to Bali so everything was nice and straight forward. Overall, it was a great tour around a beautiful island hosted by a lovely guide, we would highly recommend. Thank you for a great trip!

Review Body: It is hard to know where to start as this experience was absolutely magical. I am reasonably well travelled and it is definitely in my top 3 things i have ever done. I am a 55 year old woman and we were with my young adult children and their friends (6 in total). We were collected by Yosi at 3.10 from our hotel in ubud. He was on time and had communicated with me early that morning so i knew he was on his way. He was a lovely man and drove extremely well (which is absolutely not normal for Bali!). Upon arrival at the lake we met with our guides Wi & Nawa (there was a clean western toilet to use before we started the trek). We then got into the boat and pottered over the lake under the stars. We were able to see the lights on Mount Batur of the jeeps and motorbikes taking people up the mountain for the sunrise. Our ascent was silent (apart from my laboured breathing - it turns out i am not that fit) except when the guides were giving us either encouragement or telling us about the local area. Everyone else climbed quite easily but i did find it hard. The guides were amazing. Nawa took the rest of the party to the top and Wi stayed with me and at times literally pulled me up the mountain whilst never making me feel like an idiot for not finding it easy. Somehow he got me to the top before the sunrise and we were so lucky, clear skies meant the sunrise was spectacular. We had a clear view of 5 volcanos, the lake and the sea. The photos below have no filter but don’t do it justice. It was peaceful and beautiful and we all sat quietly thinking how lucky we were to witness something so astoundingly lovely. Breakfast of fruit, coffee, tea, sandwiches and biscuits were provided as was water (although bring your own too as it is thirsty work climbing up). I honestly can’t find anything even remotely negative to say about either the trek or the guides, who were interesting, kind and funny - and spoke perfect english. We had been so close to booking the standard Mount Batur trek and this was a thousand times better. At twice the price it would have been fantastic value. tips were absolutely not expected but i felt that after hauling me up to the mountain they were deserved!

Review Body: This was one of the highlights of my 14 days in Bali. An older, sole female traveller. A seamless car pick up at 03:20. A friendly, safe & knowledgeable driver - Yosi. The magical dark morning boat ride, walking up the Caldera in the dark -with supplied head torch's. (While a bamboo pole is supplied, I brought & used my own walking poles - being older, with bilateral hip replacements I'm very aware of my limitations.) Quiet, peaceful - away from the hordes tramping on Mt Batur, away from the smell of diesel from the jeeps & fumes from the bikes. Bliss. I had a private local guide assigned to me. Wi was very professional, patient, kind & funny. (& don't let the fact that he's wearing thongs fool you 🤣) He can climb that mountain better than you! Once at the top we had a 360 degree view. We were fortunate to arrive to clear skies. We could see the sun coming out of the barley sea, Lombok & the other mountain...whilst Mt Batur summit was in cloud. 👌 A light breakfast of sandwiches, boiled egg & chocolate bar & banana. Plus a Bali coffee (black) or fresh ginger tea (delicious) was made available - prepared by a local villager who lives on the mountain. A 2nd cup is available - for a very small cost, directly to the lady. Delightful boat ride back to our car - seeing the important shrine on the water. Also the local fish farms. I also booked an "add on" Afterwards, I went to the Hot springs to relax. Gorgeous & warm. Great view & time to chill. Towel supplied & locker for your stuff. Change rooms & shower available. From the outset - Justin's communication was fantastic. Any questions I had were answered. All the staff were vigilant to ensure I was safe & felt comfortable. Wi also had some cool photographic tricks up his sleeve which delighted the other party of 3 guests. Joy, care, local knowledge & local employment & beautiful scenery. Challenge yourself. Yes you'll sweat, It's worth it! If your quads & glutes are feeble - I'd highly recommend bringing walking poles. Saves you from slipping, especially on the way down. (it's a mountain & it does have steep sections).

Review Body: We had a fantastic experience from start to finish with this company. They were easy to deal with, quick to respond to any questions & allowed us to tailor our trip to suit. We were picked up promptly at 6am to catch the first ferry to Nusa Penida & our guide met us at the jetty. After quick introductions we were off to our first destination. On the way he took us to a local restaurant for a quick breakfast, at our request where I had the best banana pancakes I’ve ever had. Then we headed straight to Tembeling beach & Forrest which we had arranged to go to previously, instead of the Teletubbies Hills as I had read a guest review & it was highly recommended. It’s a short but very steep motorbike ride down to the top & then a bit a walk down the stairs to the bottom. Unfortunately for us we were unable to swim in the pools as there had been heavy rain the night before that had caused them to be flooded with muddy runoff from the Forrest but it was still worth the walk just to see the beautiful falls & the views from the beach below. Next our guide took us to see Diamond beach & the treehouse. We opted not to go down the steps to the beach & treehouse as my husband had a sore knee. The views of the beach below were spectacular & worth a visit regardless.there is also a swing & flying fox at the top. After this we went to visit a seaweed farm. We loved this experience. The farmers showed us how they cultivate & process the seaweed & gave us a sample of the end product which was delicious. After this our driver took us to a beautiful spot on the cliff tops where we had a fabulous lunch & enjoyed the views. Lastly we stopped at Cave Temple where you have to side through a narrow passage to enter but then it opens into a massive maze of caverns. Our guide Emon was the most helpful & caring young man. We felt safe & confident at all times in his ability to navigate the narrow roads & traffic in Nusa Penida. His local knowledge, engaging conversation & genuine love of his island home, life & culture really enhanced & enriched our whole experience.

Review Body: Grateful is the only word we have to describe our experience. If you are looking to visit Mount Batur - look no further, you’ve stumbled upon the perfect experience. This trek was made so special by our wonderful drive Yosi and our guide Wi. We genuinely had a blast with them. They are both welcoming, caring and funny and we shared so many laughs. Connecting with the two of them made our day. We also learned so much from both of them and want to thank them for being so knowledgeable. The boat ride to the lake was extraordinary. To be under the stars was magical. And, on the way back we got to see more of the lake including the beautiful temple and statues. The trek itself was ~45 minutes, mostly uphill, but certainly doable. We were alone on our trek and it was incredibly peaceful to experience nature in that solitude. We got very lucky with the weather and experienced a beautiful sunrise as well as a view of all five mountains. It was breathtaking. We were above the clouds. We saw a “circular rainbow” and could see our reflections!? I’ve never heard of that let alone seen anything like that. The photos don’t do it justice but between the mountains and the birdsong, the experience exceeded every expectation. Genuinely, there were 3 other people who came up during sunrise. That’s all. Compared to the hundreds that go up Batur, we couldn’t believe how lucky we were to experience this in such a private and unique way. Learning about the community who lives on the mountain was incredible and we were so grateful to see a glimpse of it. The breakfast was delightful and brought to us by a very kind local woman who lives on the mountain. After the trek we visited Goa Raja waterfall (Justin’s recommendation) and it was breathtaking. Again, there weren’t more than 2-3 other people visiting so it felt very private. Justin was great to communicate with and we thank him for organizing this. We wish you and your team every success - good people with good hearts sharing these beautiful experiences with us. Thank you. Lots of love! 🫶

Review Body: We absolutely loved this experience from beginning to end! Everything went smoothly exactly as described, from the early-morning pick-up to making it up the mountain in time for sunrise. From our wonderful driver, Yoshi, to our knowledgeable hiking guide, Wi, we felt very well looked after throughout the entire experience. The hike is definitely steep in places for unfit legs (like ours, haha!), but all the effort is forgotten the moment you reach the top. We were VERY glad we brought our windbreaker jackets because it was surprisingly cold up there! The views were absolutely stunning, and we certainly didn't feel disappointed about not climbing the actual volcano. The view from the caldera was perfect, with the volcano on one side, the ocean on the other, and the lake below. It was also fascinating to learn about the lives of the people who live on the slopes of the volcano. We felt especially honoured that Wi shared the cemetery with us afterwards. It was a really special experience, and we appreciated how generously the Balinese people share their culture and traditions with visitors. We also got to see the fish farms, including Wi's own section, which was really interesting. We HIGHLY recommend adding the hot springs afterwards. What an incredible way to warm your bones and relax your muscles after the hike! We had more than enough time to enjoy the hot water and unwind before our transfer to Amed. I've been on many tours and travelled extensively around Southeast Asia, but this experience was particularly lovely. At no point did we feel pressured to pay for extras or do additional activities. It also felt like they genuinely cared whether we were enjoying ourselves. If you have a wonderful experience like we did, I definitely encourage you to tip. It's such a meaningful way to support small local businesses and give something back to the people who call these beautiful places home, even as they welcome so many visitors from around the world. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Review Body: This is not a Mount Batur trek, and we were aware of this when booking, as it was clearly stated. Justin did an excellent job ensuring we understood the activity beforehand. It was a nearby mountain where we could see the peaks of Mount Batur and Mount Agung. The experience with Justin, Wi, and Nawa was truly amazing. Justin personally picked us up at 3:10 am from our location near Ubud. We arrived at the starting point around 4:30 am and were introduced to our guides. Since there were only two groups, our guide was Nawa, an amazing person who made sure we were comfortable and helped us take many photos. We took a canoe across Lake Batur in the middle of the night and reached the trek's starting point around 5 am. Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach the summit due to health issues, and it was a cloudy day, so the sunrise wasn’t visible. Instead, we enjoyed a serene view at the lake's edge. Another group returned around 7:30 am, and we crossed the lake again, enjoying the beautiful view and weather. Wi shared the history of Batur, the Caldera, and stories about the King and Dewi Danu. Wi’s authentic knowledge and experience of the Caldera region were evident. Next, we headed to Toya Devasya. Despite some bad reviews about bugs, we were lucky as it was the dry season in late June, and there were almost no bugs. Arriving early at 9 am, it was less crowded, and we enjoyed the stunning view while Justin took great photos. He patiently waited for us to enjoy the hot springs before heading to the waterfall. Although we initially chose Kanto Lampo waterfall, Justin suggested an alternative, Goa Raja, which was beautiful and less crowded. On the journey, we had an enlightening conversation about Balinese culture, their hospitality, community dependence, and humility taught from a young age. It was a great insight into Balinese life. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend this offbeat route and the wonderful people involved. Thank you, Justin, for making this trip worthwhile.
