Wonderful experience - I did the lava view experience with Ardho and I couldn’t ask for more. He was an excellent guide, very passionate about his job and has so many interesting stories to tell. We were very lucky and saw lava at least 4 times. I highly recommend this experience!

Flowing Lava, Experience Nature - It was the first time I had the thrill and excitement to look forward to nature. We could see the lava flow twice. I was very lucky✌️ It's a bit chilly, so it's essential to blush. Hot coffee, tea, pisangoren and salak were delicious. Jay's safe driving allowed me to safely drive him to the hotel, which was a very fulfilling time, along a narrow and long mountain road that was completely dark and very challenging for the driver.

Really well organised,... - Really well organised, great guide who really knew his stuff, and bent over backwards to be helpful. Remember you are reliant on the weather, we waited a few hours, but it was worth the wait

Excellent experience - Ardho did a wonderful job, explaining and showing many things on the way, and he also took great care of our children. And, we were lucky to see several lava outbreaks. Highly recommended.
