Great experience. Powerful energy. Beautiful and profound.

It was truly an amazing experience! The hike was shorter than we had expected, but we kept a very fast pace and were completely exhausted by the time we reached the top – sweat was dripping from us.
Once at the top, we were warmly welcomed by a lovely woman who served us a delicious breakfast with eggs, sandwiches, bananas, chocolate, and coffee or tea. Our guide was fantastic – very knowledgeable and friendly – and the driver was just as great. On the way back, he even asked if we wanted to stop for a cup of coffee, which led to an unexpected visit to a coffee plantation. There, we were given a guided tour where we learned all about the process of coffee bean production and got to taste a variety of different coffee and tea flavors. A perfect ending to a memorable day!

What a special moment ❤️ Agung, Ayu and Dayu were amazing guides in this beautiful ritual. Even if you aren’t drawn to this for spiritual reasons, you can’t help but feel connected to the experience and place. This will be the highlight of our Bali experience! Thank you for all the kindness and grace ❤️

An absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience ☺️ I can't recommend it enough! Personal and spiritual. And barely anyone else there. Putu Suciyati was unavailable, so her cousins were there. The most lovely and kind young ladies. From making our own offerings to the mediation and chants, to the water ceremony (lengthy and immersive), to a shared 'picnic' lunch provided by the ladies, we can't say enough about how extraordinary this morning was! And then later to find out they took dozens of photos and videos of our experience that they shared with us was such a surprise! We have these beautiful images as memories of a unique and cherished moment in our lives. Thank you!

Jero Mangku Geni is a genuine and gifted soul who I had the privilege of meeting and receiving guidance from, alongside his very kind son, who made me feel welcome and cared for. It was an honour to meet you both, thank you for your hospitality and kindness.
It's a profound and mind- boggling experience meeting a stranger who truly has an awareness of who you are on first meeting. I felt seen, like my mind and soul were cracked open and examined. I might as well have been translucent. In this vulnerability however, I was guided to understand the deeper parts of myself with great care.
If you do anything for yourself, let this be it and let the truth about yourself unfold and be guided to heal. Even if you're just curious, I guarantee you'll get something valuable out of it.

We had the night hike with our guide Dennis, he was attentive and kind, we enjoyed the off beat path very very much !
Highly recommended for Nature lovers and if you want to escape the crowd of Mount Batur most common paths

Such a great experience. Not only did we learn a ton about fireflies, their meaning to the Balinese culture, their natural habitat and the ongoing conservation efforts, we also got to eat a delicious traditional dinner and hear about the history of the project.
Wayan and his family were such great hosts. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is even just a little interested in Balinese culture, food or fireflies.
Thank you so much for having us!

Myself and a friend really enjoyed this experience! We started the day being picked up by our driver at 8:15 and headed off to our first stop which was great breakfast with Bali coffee overlooking the rice fields- a delightful view. We got some nice photos before driving to pick up our bikes. If you are a nature enthusiast like I am, you will be thrilled to bits with the bike ride, which took us through some of the most stunning nature and scenery I have ever seen. Greenery as far as the eye can see, and animals galore. To note, 90% of the route is downhill, so even if you are not so confident with cycling for that long it feels easy breezy. We made a few little stops for delicious food, photos and experiences such as a traditional Balinese house and a local temple. Our guide Jack was enthusiastic about his craft and knowledgeable to boot. Since we really enjoy cycling and nature we took more off road trails which were bumpy but so fun! We ended the day with lunch before being driven back to our hotel. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to get a taste of a more authentic Bali.
