SUPER FUN!
The view is so beautiful, I really like this trip, the view is really beautiful and Kak Alga was super helpful as my guide. I don't regret it~ also went to a local resident's house to learn the process of making tempeh, and was given 5 packs, plus to a local herbal drink place. The experience is the best!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Family Bike Tour Experience
We had such a wonderful time doing a bike tour with Moana during our family trip to Nanggulan, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. From helping us choose the best route for our family to making sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour, Moana provided excellent service from start to finish. We chose the package that included documenting our biking adventure, and we’re so glad we did! The tour was not only fun and relaxing, but also educational and meaningful. We stopped at nearby villages, interacted with local people, and learned about their daily lives and small businesses. It was a great opportunity to understand how the local community supports itself and how visitors can also give back. A big shout-out to our road captain and bike guide, Mr. Iciih, for patiently guiding us through the villages, explaining everything we saw and experienced, and especially for taking such good care of my elderly aunt and uncle throughout the ride. His patience and kindness really made a difference! Many thanks as well to Mr. Ferdi, who documented our trip and captured so many beautiful photos that we’ll treasure. We would definitely choose Moana again on our next visit to Jogja. The staff were super friendly, communication was excellent, and the whole experience was informative, enjoyable, and very well organized. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, authentic, and meaningful biking experience in Yogyakarta! 🚲❤️🌿

We’re glad the experience could be comfortable for everyone, especially while spending time together with your aunt and uncle. We’re also happy that the experience gave your family a chance to meet local people, learn about their daily lives, and see how local businesses are part of the community. For MOANA, these small moments are what make a journey more meaningful, while also creating a positive impact for the places we visit. Thank you for supporting sustainable tourism with MOANA. We hope the experience brings a little more awareness about sustainability and inspires your family to keep supporting local businesses wherever you travel. We also hope the time spent outdoors, at an easy and comfortable pace, gave everyone a chance to enjoy the wellness side of travel too. We’ll be happy to welcome your family again whenever you’re back in Jogja. Until then, we hope the photos and memories from Nanggulan continue to bring a smile. See ya. ❤️🌿
