We had the absolute pleasure of having Siman as our driver for the Mount Batur Sunrise Jeep Tour, and he truly made the entire experience unforgettable. From start to finish, Siman took such great care of us ,always patient, kind, and incredibly humble. He made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey, and his warm personality made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was definitely at Paper Hills, where he helped us take the most amazing photos , capturing memories we’ll treasure forever. Siman went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for his hospitality and genuine care. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in for an exceptional experience. Highly recommended! He drove us to and fro safely with great responsibility!

Komqng Wira was our transfer driver that picked us up directly from our accomdations. He was ON TIME and FRIENDLY. He was really v excited for us to go on our trip at 2am. His car? WOW! Really comfortable and enjoyable experience where we slept like a log comfortably theoughout the ENTIRE journey to the bottom of the mountain and also ON THE WAY BACK! Without his vehicle and comfortable experience, we would have fainted right there. Thank you Sir! 🫡 DRUMROLLS! the next person Sir 2 Mangku Sarif! BOOM-Tzt 🥁 FANTASTIC JEEP DRIVER given the roads or more like rocks! his jeep was able to fit the 4 of us! EXPERT Navigator who brought us to the BEST spots! chef kiss! 👍🏼 Superb photographer who gave great directions, pose suggestions and brought out your best angles as if you were on the VS runway. He had all the SKILLS AND TOOLs from tripod to lights, he really gave it his ALL! Do not worry if you are camera shy, he is very encouraging and will bring out the inner model from you! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 okay to the what you MUST bring based on our experience: please really really consider dressing warm especially for your top as the jeep will be WHOOZING in the wind! this is a 🌋, the air is cold especially in the morning! breakfast wasnt provided for us in the package but we had a GREAT NOMZ AND FEAST FOR OUR EYES at the Akasa cafe. Bring small bites to nomz while waiting for sun to rise. 2am to sunrise is really a long way, we really survived on those bites. Wishing all of you the very best weather! We saw SO MANY stars 🌟 and really liked our photos! have fun in bali guys and gals! 🫡🌄🙏🏻🌴⛰️🌋👍🏼thanks to our 2 HEROES who brought these 4 gals up the moutain :))

If I had to pick the most memorable moment of this Bali trip, I would say the jeep tour without hesitation. This short but intense journey, which started at 3 a.m. and ended around 9 a.m., was not just a simple tour, but a movie. When I got on the jeep to see the stars in the night sky, the road was quiet, and it felt like the whole world was asleep. The starlight I saw while driving through the mountains without a single light was so enchanting that it was hard to describe in words. The moment I looked up at the night sky, I realized that I was really in Bali, and that in itself was thrilling. After seeing the stars, I arrived at the sunrise point, where I could see the dawn sky gradually turning red and brightening. I climbed on top of the jeep and took a picture, and it was really… my favorite picture I’ve ever taken. The background, the light, and my expression were all perfectly captured in the picture. I especially want to thank the photographer, Ngurah. He was so good at framing and timing the picture, and he guided me to pose naturally without making me feel awkward, so the results were amazing. This is a life shot that I want to brag about to my friends 📸 The driver ADI was also very kind. He drove steadily even on rough roads, and he explained where we were going well from time to time, so it wasn't boring at all. He even made small jokes during the tour, which made the long journey feel much more comfortable and warm. After the sunrise, we had another photo shoot with the clear blue morning sky and mountain ridges in the background. I was so happy to be able to capture the scenery with my eyes, make memories with my heart, and take pictures with my camera in that atmosphere where the cold morning air and warm sunlight coexisted. Of course, I was physically quite tired because I had to wake up at 3 in the morning, but I thought that this was an experience I would never forget. The experience of going through the darkness to see something, and the touching scenery and people waiting at the end. This is a special moment that can only be found in Bali. You should definitely do it 😚
