Mt Salak crater, jungle and rice patties adventure We had a fantastic time exploring the rice patties with a knowledgeable guide who introduced us to local flora and fauna. The Mt Sakai’s crater was exciting, unfortunately visitors can no longer access the geysers. It started pouring rain and our hike down through the jungle was through a stream, needless to say an unforgettable experience. We also stopped by a beautiful waterfall and saw monkeys along the way.

Great guides and Adi our driver was absolutely first class. Ridwan gave a full program for 8 days for a very reasonal price.Our holiday started with pick-up at airport and transport to our hotel.Friendly faces welcoming us in a foreign country made the start of the holiday very wonderfull.Adi our driver was very experienced.Which is really needed in the chaos of cars and scooters all around. Lanes are suggestions, all vehicles go generally in the same direction.Thank you Adi for keeping us safe.Ridwan organized a Mount Salak vulcano tour.Adventure, bring your mud shoes, clothes and swimmingsuite because after lunch at the vulcano you can cool down in the waterfall.We went to Lembang next because we were attending a wedding there.5th of May visiting an other vulcano and hotspring swimmingpool very nice. We had lunch before visiting the floating market. Which is more a fancy fair with an area with streetfood on boats.Ridwan went the extra mile to help us to find the souvenirs we were looking for.Bandung has many nice things to visit.Ridwan can offer a tailor made program to your wishes. Has connections with experienced guides and drivers.Can organise bigger groups or like us a family of four.We greatly enjoyed our holiday at Java. No worries, everthing very well organized.And if we were in need of ATM, they simply stopped for us at the nearest.Absolutely worth the money.If we ever come again to Java we will book again with Ridwan.Colinda van den Broek.

A wonderful day! The organization of this day was impeccable. We were accompanied by Agus, an experienced guide, who made us discover all the beauty of this region; through activities: trekking, discovery of the volcano crater, a superb waterfall and hot springs; but Agus also taught us a lot about the fauna, flora, Indonesian culture and transmitted his attachment to his country.I highly recommend this tour!Thanks to the whole team

We had a fantastic day touring Jakarta with Ridwan. As we sometimes don’t enjoy the typical sightseeing tours we chose the “Jakarta sinking and slum tour” with him. Everything went perfect. From the pick up in the morning at our hotel with a private car and driver to the spots which were shown to us and the local Warung where we stopped for lunch. Ridwan spoke about the challenges Jakarta is facing in a very informative way. In the late afternoon he dropped us off at our hotel again. We felt very well taken care off and are sure that with choosing him and this tour we made an excellent choice.

I had great tour to Halimun Salak National Park and Kawah Ratu volcano. Everything was very well organised from pick up, hike to return and in agreed timings. Guide was nice and experienced, telling lot of about the wildlife and animals, and was also able to spot monkeys in the forest.

We did the Mount Salak jungle trek with Adang and Jay and had an amazing experience. The tour felt very authentic, with hardly any tourism, beautiful landscapes, and of course the impressive crater as a highlight. Our guide shared so many interesting insights — from rainforest animals and insects to local life and culture in Indonesia.The hike itself is not too demanding and very manageable. We were especially impressed by Ridwan and his team’s professionalism. From the beginning, everything was clearly and well organized, and the tour was exactly as described. They truly exceeded our expectations. We can fully recommend this experience — don’t miss it 😉

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Ridwan and our driver Sultan. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. Ridwan made the entire trip enjoyable with his friendly personality and great knowledge, always making sure we felt comfortable and well taken care of. Sultan was an excellent driver — safe, calm, and reliable throughout the journey. One of the highlights was the suspension bridge — such an exciting experience! Everything was perfectly arranged, and nothing was ever too much to ask. They really went the extra mile to make our day special. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a smooth, fun, and well-organized tour. Thank you both for a fantastic experience!

TRIP DESCRIPTION

The Itinerary: A Journey to the Heart of Java

DAY 1: Culture, Rice Fields & A Night Under the Stars

  • 08:00 AM – Heritage Start: We pick you up in Jakarta or Bogor. Our first stop is the Bogor Botanical Garden, a UNESCO heritage site and the oldest in Southeast Asia. Breathe in the history under giant ancient trees.
  • The Art of Puppetry: We visit a traditional Wayang Golek workshop. See how local artisans carve these famous wooden puppets by hand—a masterpiece of West Javanese art.
  • Life of a Farmer: We drive towards the Mount Salak highlands. Along the way, we stop at stunning rice terraces. Don’t just watch; join the farmers! Feel the mud, learn how to plant rice, and experience the humble village life.
  • Camping in the Clouds: We arrive at the campsite. As the sun sets, we light up the Bonfire. Enjoy a delicious Barbeque Dinner while gazing at the sparkling city lights from above and the starry sky. Sleep peacefully in a comfortable tent surrounded by nature.

DAY 2: Sunrise, Jungle Trekking & Walking on a Volcano

  • 05:30 AM – The Golden Hour: Wake up to crisp mountain air. Sip your morning coffee/tea while watching a breathtaking sunrise over the mountains and rice villages. Breakfast is authentic: Nasi Goreng with fresh local fruits.
  • Into the Rainforest: We drive to Halimun Salak National Park. This is a real tropical rainforest. Keep your eyes open for exotic birds, Gibbons and monkeys as we trek through the dense green canopy.
  • The Crater Experience (Highlight): This is not a sightseeing deck. We will hike down and walk on the lava floor of an active crater! See the hissing sulfur smoke, bubbling mud, and hot water springs up close. It feels like being on another planet.
  • Jungle Waterfall: Wash off the sweat with a refreshing swim in a hidden natural waterfall inside the jungle. The water is cool, clear, and energizing.
