Magnifique excursion au mont Batur. La vue et l’expérience sont incroyable. Notre guide, Patrick, sur place est attentif et prend soin du groupe. Attention, la montée n’est pas pour les débutants. Il faut être en bonne condition physique. Une compliment tout spécial à notre chauffeur, Dekwan qui a été fabuleux tout au long de notre journée. Il est gentil et patient. Il nous a super bien expliqué la journée et a fait preuve d’une grande gentillesse. Nous recommandons ce tour et nous espérons que vous aurez la chance d’avoir les mêmes personnes pour vous accompagner.

Absolutely amazing adventure!! Full day of activities we will never forget. Enhanced majorly by our wonderful driver Dekwan Selem Gis, super friendly, polite and gave excellent advice. Would recommend hiring Dekwan as a personal driver for day to day in general! His direct WhatsApp +62 819-1839-2050

awesome experience, Lou was an amazing guide and helped me make it through this hike! It’s quite challenging for newbies and even if you’ve hiked before, all uphill and steep! But the view at the end is so rewarding

Edy and Wayan have been great guides and reliable drivers and made our day easy and appreciable. That we unfortunately could not see a proper sunrise, can not be blamed on them

Great experience with our guide Technik & driver Eri. Would definitely recommend
