We absolutely loved our tour with Ubay. He was very attentive throughout the entire trip, had great energy, and took the time to explain every question we had. He picked us up at the airport and made the entire trip worth it. He also knows many tips and tricks for both Bromo and Ijen. We would 100% recommend this tour.

It was lovely to be guided by a local woman through her traditional village and to the impressive waterfalls around Mt. Rinjani. Thank you for the experience.

A truly magical trip to the caldera summit across a starlit lake! After the boat trip, local guide Wi made us feel safe on the slightly challenging upward trail, and we enjoyed the five-mountain view in the rising sun :) We also enjoyed the return boat trip, where Wi pointed out his fish farm and talked about growing up in this lovely rural part of Bali. We were picked up and returned to our hotel in Ubud by Yosi, who kept us entertained both ways. This tour avoids the crowds and made us feel we were experiencing something unique and beautiful. Highly recommended!

My friend and I had a wonderful experience on our sunrise hike at Mt. Batur! There were some clouds, but we were still able to have amazing views. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the mountain and the culture and let us hike at a pace that we felt comfortable with. Since you are hiking through the jungle, I would recommend bringing bug spray.

Guides and drivers are excellent. Guides are amazing photographers and video editors. Itinerary well planned and customised to our flight schedules. Transition between each point was seamless. For the waterfall, you are going INSIDE the water (knee deep, optional chest deep) pls bring water shoes/crocs (do not recommend flip flops because they will easily get washed away). Also recommend to haggle directly for horse fees at bromo (our driver took a tip from our horse journey fee and thought we didn’t know. Someone got it for 150k, can consider). Mount Bromo and ijen will be super cold when u get off the car (layer up) but once u start hiking, will get really hot so remove your layers and bring a bag to contain your layers. We paid 50k each for ?health check for mt ijen, but we never got our healths checked or receive any cert or anything at all, so not sure what’s up there 😂 all in all still highly recommend, great experience at great value, effortless and brainless, just follow instructions, everything is arranged seamlessly for you
