Mount Merapi is definitely a must-visit attraction in Yogyakarta. Where else can you get close to an active volcano that had a small eruption just two months ago? We were taken within a 4km radius, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the summit due to the clouds. However, on the way there, we were able to see the entire volcano from the car. Our jeep driver, who also served as our guide, spoke good English and was able to explain everything. He was a local who lived within a 6km radius during the last major eruption in 2009/10. The jeep ride was an experience for my wife and kids. For the water ride through the riverbed, if you choose to do it, you must wear a raincoat. You will definitely get wet. We opted not to do it, as I believe even with a raincoat, we would still get soaked. Moreover, it was quite a dry riverbed, and when the jeep drove over it, it kicked up water and sand.

Wonderful yet tiring experience. Sunrise is a matter of luck; you might see the volcano/sunrise or not. The Jeep driver was an excellent photographer/videographer. The view at Jomblang Caves was astonishing, but you had to walk through a super muddy path before you could reach the beautiful view. Not for those who are afraid of heights and mud. Pindul tubing was relaxing and chill, especially after the tiring cave activity. Highly recommended if you are adventurous and not afraid of getting dirty.

It was such a great experience albeit a bit tiring. Do prepare yourself accordingly as it will be a full day of adventure. Our guide, Uja was so great and helpful. He was really attentive to our needs. I’d recommend 10/10! the mas2 we met along the way during the activities were also great. Do take the chance to go into the cave and take the gondola. You’ll not regret at all!

Hands down the best island tour in Bali, big thanks to ADEN & JENA! Adam’s photography is fantastic. He picked great angles for cliffs and sunsets, and took beautiful couple shots for our birthday trip. We love all the precious photos he captured. Jena gave very professional snorkeling guidance. He explained safety rules clearly, checked our gear carefully, and escorted us in the water to swim safely with manta rays. The luxury yacht trip was wonderful. All entrance fees, snorkeling gear, meals and insurance are covered. The extra hidden sunset viewpoint gave amazing views. Transfers were on time and everything was well arranged. I highly recommend booking this tour with ADEN & JENA!

Our Mt. Batur jeep tour was the absolute highlight of our trip! Everything was perfectly organized, but what truly made the experience exceptional was our driver, Oman. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout the entire journey.On top of being a fantastic driver, Oman is an amazing photographer! He knew all the best angles and spots to capture the perfect sunrise shots, leaving us with beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. If you are planning a trip to Mt. Batur, we highly recommend booking this tour and asking for Oman!

The Mangrove Tour and Fireflies Tour were fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up directly from Natra Bintan Resort for both tours and sent back afterwards, making everything seamless and hassle-free. A huge thank you to our guide, Eddy, and boat captain, Pak Ah Boon. We enjoyed the daytime tour so much that we were delighted to have them again for the Fireflies Tour! Their sharp eyes helped us spot Silvered Leaf Monkeys (Lutung), a monitor lizard, mangrove and green rat snakes, a (big!) kingfisher, archer fish, and many crabs and fish. Eddy was friendly, knowledgeable, and taught us so much about the mangrove ecosystem, tides, wildlife, nipa palms, and even how natural red dye was made. The Fireflies Tour was magical. We saw countless fireflies, gently caught a few before releasing them, and Eddy even pointed out the stars in the clear night sky. We loved every minute. Safe, educational, and unforgettable—highly recommended!

The local supplier was punctual, picking us up at 11:00 AM from the hotel to take us to a cabin near the volcano for an overnight stay. After a brief itinerary introduction, we checked into the cabin, which was quite clean and had a very good environment. On the first morning, after breakfast at 7:00 AM, we departed by car. The local guide did not proactively offer to take photos with us throughout the trip, and rarely looked after us along the way. Some of us with weaker physical stamina had to manage on our own. We observed other groups nearby who were offering assistance to their members. Furthermore, our camping equipment was quite poor; there were no tables or chairs! No table for dinner! No chairs to enjoy the sunset views! However, we saw other teams had arrangements for chairs and tables, which was very disappointing for us. Nevertheless, we were very happy to successfully reach the summit!

a little too expensive for a nearby destination from Yogja. Pick up was punctual but my driver still learning to speak English so we have minimal conversation. However, the jeep guide Fanny was amazing! He lent me his jacket when I forgot to take mine and it was quite cold in the morning, he didn’t drive fast so I won’t catch much wind and his command of English is so good that we held a decent conversation on hiking. The sunrise or Merepi didn’t happen cos we had a heavy fog but still we went ahead and I got to see some nice lava rocks along the way. Fanny took some nice photos with his jeep despite Merepi didn’t appear but no one to blame as it’s weather. He was detailed at the museum and didn’t rush through so i understand what happened over those volcano eruptions. Amazing guide I had and thank you Fanny.
