Koman my guide, was proof that great knowledge and insights communicated clearly are far more compelling than being kept busy with a bike ride or a lunch ir a waterfall. Pure information without any distractions. Koman didn’t just merely recite some script but tether as the son of farmers, he shared the evolution of rice farming and the current challenges of allocation of water resources, pressures to convert rice fields to development , and issues of soil quality and pest control. If this sounds boring and academic, trust me, Koman articulated himself in an incredibly simple and accessible way. His info got me thinking not just listening! The scenery is of course beautiful. And no other tourists in sight!

It was raining heavily at original start time and they were very accommodating- moved the time until after the rain had stopped. Kaden Argus was a very knowledgeable and patient guide- highly recommend.

We had a wonderful half day walking through the kampungs and rice fields around Senaru. Yumi and Malai were wonderful guides who were happy to share their knowledge on the culture, flora and fauna of the region. We finished up with a visit to a beautiful waterfall but the absolute highlight for us had to be having a delicious dinner of local dishes (the tempeh was wonderful) while sat in a farmers bamboo shack in the middle of the rice terraces. Definitely recommend the walk and Rinjani women adventure we will definitely use them again when we next back in Lombok - perhaps we will do the volcano next time!!

A really beautiful and interesting trek. Our guides were knowledgeable and easy to chat with, and took great care of us. We saw stunning waterfalls, jungle, rice paddy, and traditional village life. We also had a delicious picnic lunch in the middle of the paddy fields. Everything was smooth and well organised and communication was excellent. Thank you!

Visiting an authentic village, hearing about their traditions and seeing their day to day lives was so interesting. The countryside and rice farms were beautiful. I loved seeing all the produce like vanilla beans, kapok used for pillow filling, clove trees, eating the flesh from a cashew nut fruit and seeing the cocao and it drying for sale. The two waterfalls were fabulous and very refreshing. A very enjoyable day.

I had an absolutely wonderful time with Rinjani Women, Katni, and my fantastic guide, Junita. Junita truly made the experience special! She took me on a delightful tour of the charming villages of Senaru and Sembalun, and it was simply incredible. Senaru and Sembalun are like hidden treasures. The villages boast picturesque beauty, and meeting the local farmers and residents was a heartwarming experience. I had the chance to learn about the rich history of Senaru, Lombok, and the fascinating Bayan tribes, which was truly enlightening. Oh, and let me tell you about Sembalun - the views there were simply breathtaking. But what amazed me, even more, were their strawberries! They were so incredibly sweet, surpassing any other Indonesian strawberries I've tasted. Now, the cherry on top of my trip was visiting Senaru Village towards the end. I'll admit, I had a doubt thinking it might be too touristy, but I couldn't have been more wrong. It's a vibrant village with locals who proudly preserve their culture. The houses/village may not look IG-worthy and not popular, however, meeting and connecting with them was a heartwarming experience that I'll cherish forever.
