Contact by our driver Abut was prompt & his car was clean as well. Easy going driver & spoke some English that facilitated coversation. For the climb to Mt Batur, the consolidation of guests was messy at the meeting point, but the guide was able to find us. There should have been a briefing on matters pertaining to safety and what to expect during the trek. During the trek itself, our guide Pande was very patient and moved at a pace that suited to our fitness level. Pande spoke English enough for us to carry a conversation with him. At the top of the mountain, Pande was very helpful in helping us to take photos and would show us the good spots/angles for phototaking. Really appreciate him. At the coffee plantation, we had a short break with a hot cup of coffee. We then moved on to water rafting which required us to hike down to the river. We were able to shower and have a quick meal provided by them. Overall, it waa a good experience.

It was a monster of a day but honestly so worth it. We were picked up early in Ubud by our driver (Teja) and were taken to the meeting point for the walk. The hike was definitely a challenge but we made it to the top in 1.5 hours. After we had breakfast and waited for the beautiful sunrise. The hike down was very dusty and slippery but made for some laughs. Once we were at the bottom, Teja picked us up and took us to a coffee plantation where we were able to enjoy a tasting paddle of the local teas and coffees (Avocado & Coconut Coffee is a must try). Following this we went White Water Rafting and honestly, you could not wipe the smile off my face. It was so much fun and the tour guides were amazing and created some fun rivalry between the rafts. Teja dropped us back to the homestay in the early afternoon. 10/10 would recommend and a special shout out to Teja for making the drive enjoyable and teaching us about local culture.

Really great day! Our driver Subrata was excellent - very helpful, friendly, took the time to chat with us throughout the day and made sure everything went smoothly. The climb was reasonably difficult and with rafting later in the day, you need to have a good level of physical fitness. Great views from the top of the volcano. Our guide Taki was very helpful in making sure the group got to the top safely. Bring snacks because there is a long time between the breakfast and lunch. The rafting was super fun and the scenery along the river was incredible. Very suitable for beginners but still provided a thrill. You can leave bags with the driver and the rafting company drops you back off where you started. Lunch was a nice Indonesian buffet which was very welcome after all the exertion. Would highly recommend this trip, especially if you are trying squeeze activities into a tight schedule. Otherwise, book the two activities for separate days!
