Thank you for the nice trip. We learned a lot about coffee and Indonesian culture. 100% recommended. Also the driver and the people of the farm were very friendly!
Michele
Top Crew rund um Phion, top Boot (Papiton 2), top Ausflüge, top Essen. Alles hat gestimmt und wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit auf unserem 3d/2n trip. Ja, es hat Generatoren auf dem Boot, die man hörtin der Nacht, damit wir Strom haben. Sie sind allerdings nicht laut und mich hat das 0 gestört. Würde die Tour jederzeit wieder buchen. Danke!
Katja Kellenberger
Had an amazing time sailing with Papiton 1 for 3 days and 2 nights. The experience felt like sailing with family, everyone was so warm and fun. The photographer was incredible and captured all the best moments, and our guide was super funny and made the trip even more enjoyable. The food on board was fresh and honestly so good. Overall, such a memorable trip. Highly recommend!
Ayu Theoria
We did 3 days / 2 nights aboard Papiton 2. Servas and Saffa were excellent guides, and the whole crew were fantastic. Plenty of tasty food, amazing scenery and service. Highly recommend!!
Regan Broadbent
This trip was absolutely magical from start to finish. What an amazing life experience, the abundance of nature as well as having our own guide to provide more detail about the wildlife. Vera's knowledge is very impressive and she made our trip super fun! The whole crew ensured we had a new year to remember. Food was freshly prepared for each meal by Ira and tailored to dietary needs, incorporating local flavours - all delicious! The boat felt safe and secure & navigated with ease and was well maintained/cleann throughout thanks to our lovely captain and deckhand. Orangutan Applause's carefully curated activities allow you to experience the wonders of Borneo whilst having the balance to relax too. It was spectacular.
Stephanie Shaw
I had a fantastic experience! The boat was very clean and comfortable, and the staff were super helpful and took care of us so well. We were treated to amazing meals every day too. Our guide and photographer (I believe they are freelancers not affiliated with the boat operators) were very experienced, attentive and took amazing photos of all of us. Overall it was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend it!
Bea
An absolute highlight of our trip! We were lucky and had the walk to ourselves. Our driver Yosi and guide Wi were both extremely lovely and shared so many great stories and interesting knowledge. The view from the rim was incredible even on our cloudy morning and we loved getting to take the boat across the lake. Definitely worth the early rise (3am for us in Ubud so not too bad) and we got back with so much day left to spend.
Jack
A beautiful getaway in a stunning lush green setting. The temple is remarkable, vast with water running throughout. Putu with Ayu and Agung were warm and welcoming hosts to guide our group through.
It was wonderful to experience Balinese culture and spirituality in this way. Learned how to make canang sari and the story behind them, how the flowers are arranged etc. Putu guided us through a meditation sitting amongst the beauty of the temple, feeling so grateful for the space and nature around. Then we were guided into the pools and through the holy water purification ceremony under the waterfalls, followed by a prayer and finished with some delicious Balinese food to share and reflect on the experience.
Thank you to Putu and team, it was an eye opening and deeply rewarding experience
