Flowing Lava, Experience Nature

It was the first time I had the thrill and excitement to look forward to nature. We could see the lava flow twice. I was very lucky✌️ It's a bit chilly, so it's essential to blush. Hot coffee, tea, pisangoren and salak were delicious. Jay's safe driving allowed me to safely drive him to the hotel, which was a very fulfilling time, along a narrow and long mountain road that was completely dark and very challenging for the driver.

Really well organised,...

Really well organised, great guide who really knew his stuff, and bent over backwards to be helpful. Remember you are reliant on the weather, we waited a few hours, but it was worth the wait

Excellent experience

Ardho did a wonderful job, explaining and showing many things on the way, and he also took great care of our children. And, we were lucky to see several lava outbreaks. Highly recommended.
