Mentawai Islands

Reviewed By Coastal676365

From the first email sent to dropping us back to the airport nothing was too hard for these guys. The lodgings were super clean and comfortable. The food was next level ,always plenty and lots of variety. If you like Italian then you won’t be disappointed. The staff are friendly and hospitable. Now too the most important part of the trip..... Surf was fantastic and we had lots of uncrowded surfs all day . Would recommend in a heartbeat best land camp I’ve ever been too.

Padar Island

Reviewed By SusanW4197 - Kiama, Australia

To get there it is boat ride from Labuan Bajo - day trip possible but most go for a few days. Most boats aim to get to Padar for sunrise or sunset so it's busy. Ours arrived early and it was still hot so we climbed to summit earlier than most and then went down and climbed the other summit - which is a very narrow slippery treacherous track (which guides discourage) But, we did it discretely and were alone on this summit for sunset and avoided crowds at the top. Generally hot in middle of day and climbing summit would be very hard - so avoid unless cooler.

Great place for a family to spend time together and have loads of fun Great variety of rides to suit all ages, plenty of restaurants and gazebos to relax I while the kids use up all there energy. Get in early before the crowds come in but in saying that never a long wait for the rides every time we have gone there

Ijen Crater

Reviewed By TheHumbleTravellers - Greater Noida, India

This place may look like a nightmare of your badest dreams but is so amazingly beautiful, surprising and adventurous. People visit here for 2 reasons a) To reach summit and stay there to watch beautiful turquoise lake and if lucky some views of blue fire b) To reach summit and then go down the crater to have chance of lifetime to see blue fire and sulphur miners doing manual mining We gathered all our courage to go down the crater as well. Now this trekking starts late night as blue fire is not visible once sun comes out so we need to go down crater before sunlight comes out. Going up the summit of Ijen requires decent stamina but not very challenging. Challenging part starts when you to move down the crater in almost zero light and only torch or mobile light visible. Its one of the most adventurous hiking done by me. During going down, you will encounter sulphur miners who manually gather sulphur and hangit on there shoulder to the top (almost 70 kg in one round) and they do it 2-3 times in a day, it so damn amazing as we only in one round were totally out. Reaching bottom is like reaching surface of moon, completely different environment with deadly gases around (masks are suggested to be safe from carbon di oxide), unique surrounding with sulphur coming out of mountains and then you see the most amazing thing - BLUE FIRE, its so beautiful For hikers/nature lovers - its a must visit. Its ones in a lifetime experience Special thanks to our tour guide who ensured we experience everything and safely too.

Merapi Volcano

Reviewed By pondheron - Mumbai, India

We took the 90 minute mini Jeep Tour to Merapi - a little apprehensive about the rainclouds that obscured the sky through most of the day. The brightly coloured old red Jeep with a young man at the wheel bumped across the route - which was mostly paved , slowed by oncoming truck traffic carrying volcanic ash away for construction. We stopped at a village which had been damaged by the lava in the 2010 eruption - preserved complete with skeletons of cattle, burnt motorcycles and home appliances, a volcanic rock that was shaped like a face and appropriately called The Alien, and finally at the last lookout point 4.5 kms from the imposing volcano. The rain clouds cleared after a drizzle and the volcano was clearly visible - smoking ominously. An eerie and imposing sight on a dull drizzly day. The route is dusty so make sure you use the dust cover or take care especially if you are asthmatic or allergic. A very enjoyable drive with a fascinating view. Well worth the price of ₹1750 (Rp 350000) for 2.
