Review of Bali’s Uluwatu sunset tour, Kecak fire dance, private transport, monkey warnings, and Jimbaran seafood dinner.
“We had a great private guide named Dharma who picked us up on time. He also took us to try the local Balinese coffee after we mentioned we hadn’t tried it yet. You need to watch your belongings at the monkey forest (our guide warned us) and whilst we did everything to ensure we would be fine the monkeys still attempted to steal from us. You need to get in early to the fire show to get a good seat. We were shoved up the very back on the side and couldn’t see the sunset backdrop behind the firedancers. The show was a tad longer than we thought and you…”
Hike Mount Batur at sunset with a private guide, volcano-steamed meal, hotel transfers, photos, and fewer crowds for $45 per person.

Taste Javanese street food, ride becak rickshaws, and play traditional games on a small-group night tour through Yogyakarta.

Ride a private 4WD Jeep up Mount Batur for sunrise or sunset, see black lava formations, and enjoy hotel pickup for a flexible Bali day tour.

Review of Monkey Business 2-day jungle trek in Sumatra, with orangutan spotting, jungle camp, rafting, meals, gear, and practical booking advice.
“We had a private group with my son with a quide and a cook. All food and fruits were very nicely layed out. We were lucky and saw many Orang Utang really close. Saw also many different types of monkeys. April was a good time to go as it is dry season but not so much tourists in the jungle yet.”
See Jakarta lit by night, from Monas and Istiqlal Mosque to Old Town, street food, Sunda Kelapa, and PIK, with private pickup included.
“We had an amazing time going around Jakarta and it was made extra special by Catherine. Catherine was very knowledgeable about Indonesia and specially about Jakarta. We had a lovely time chatting with her and learning from her and if we ever come back to Jakarta and want to see around the city and have some amazing Indonesian food, we are definitely asking for Catherine.”
Pick an island. The rest sorts itself out.
