The guide is very nice, a local man who knows a lot and answers your questions very kindly. He helped us buy and try fruits at the fruit market, showed us the rice fields and told stories of everyday life. I think this is a very nice way to get to know the agriculture of Sidemen and Bali in general.

We absolutely loved our half day walk around waterfalls and rice fields with Mung. She was lovely and accommodating, showed us her traditional village where she lives and taught us about the village practices and traditions. Feeling very blessed.

A great experience to see the local side of Sidemen. Make sure you pack water and bug spray.

This tour was so relaxing and wonderful. Our guide, Mung, told us so much about her culture and nature. She was just great! Such an inspiring young woman, keep up the great work!

We had the best day exploring waterfalls, rice fields and spotting monkeys. Gina was a very welcoming and lovely tour guide who taught us a lot about the culture and nature in Senaru. The walk itself was easy and lunch was great. Couldn’t recommend this more!

Great experience from start to finish. Hospitable and so kind. Juni was amazing, inspired by the organisation and the mission they are on to put women in work and education, as guides despite any odds! I met Junis family on the tour, beautiful people in general. The hike was enough for me, maybe 2-3 hours. I would highly recommend, men or women. It’s necessary to support our sisters in creating opportunities for the future generations :) I loved everything about it and I will definitely bare them in mind, recommend them to any fellow travellers and keep in touch, maybe I’ll be back ;) even had my grab driver come with me on the tour for the day, great day!

If you’re even considering doing this forest tour, just book it. It ended up being one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve ever had.

We booked this on our last day in Lombok (you can also book directly with Ikbal, it is easy to find his details online).

From the moment we stepped into the forest, it felt like entering a completely different world. Our guide, Razaak was incredibly knowledgeable, inspiring and passionate with his own tales of growing up in the forest. We foraged as we walked, tasting unique native fruits and plants we’d never even heard of before!

The highlight was gathering ingredients ourselves and then cooking together right there in the forest. We made a delicious papaya curry from scratch, adjusting the spice level to our liking, which made it feel really personal and interactive. Sitting down to eat a meal we had helped create, surrounded by nature, was something special. Not to mention it was absolutely delicious (coming from someone who is a bit picky)..

We also learned how palm sugar is made the traditional way, which gave us a whole new appreciation for it. And the coffee was the freshest and most flavorful we’ve ever tasted.

What really made the experience stand out was how immersive and authentic it felt. It wasn’t just a tour; it was a hands-on introduction to local traditions and the natural environment.

If you’re looking for something unique, meaningful, and genuinely unforgettable, this is it. Couldn’t recommend it more highly and can't stop talking about it! 

Thank you to the three brothers! I would definitely book this again!

Exploring Sendang Gile and Tiu Gelep with Siska was awesome. It was great getting an insider’s tour of a traditional village, having lunch in the rice fields and walking across the river to get to a really beautiful waterfall. Definitely say if you are in Senaru this tour is a must.
