Hiking on a volcano
Wayan, jero, and kadek were an awesome team. They answered all of my questions before hand so I was prepared for the hike. Kadek was a great guide we had no trouble getting up or down the mountain and he took phenomenal photos!

Mt Batur
This was a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Putu was excellent. He was funny and taught us a lot about the volcano. He also was encouraging but allowed the groups to take breaks when needed. He kept us at a good pace. I highly recommend this trip.

The trek itself was very well organised with experienced guides. We had Wayan who was very patient and considerate! It’s not an easy climb though Our driver Wayan Lestari was friendly and super helpful

We are lucky. Managed to see sunrise. The whole experience is so seamless. Darta, our driver to the foot of mountain is so friendly and punctual. Wayan, the Jeep driver is so polite and helped us take so many nice pictures. A 6 stars package. Looking forward to have more excursions with you guys.
