THE BEST QUALIFIED GUIDES
They’re qualified, certified, they’re the only guides in Kintamani with First Aid Training and they’re English is great.

WHERE EXACTLY DO WE GO ON THIS PARTICULAR TOUR.
You get picked up from your accommodation, and we head for the mountains. Soon the weather becomes cooler, and the coffee plantations start to appear. You’ll stop in a coffee plantation where you’ll get your morning hit of coffee before embarking on your journey to Penglipuran Traditional Village. After looking around here for an hour or so, purchasing tourist trinkets, and sampling local food, we’ll head up to the Bamboo Forest which is walking distance from Penglipuran. You’ll be able to walk a paved walk way where you’ll be able to see the entire forest in around half an hour. When you’re finished here, your air conditioned chariot will take you to the Frozen Lava Volcano Explorer 4×4 tour.

CUSTOM BUILT 4X4
Our vehicle is purpose built for comfort, panoramic views, power, protection from the elements, whilst maintaining maximum fun and enjoyment. No other vehicle in Kintamani is purpose built for tourists.

FROZEN LAVA & BATS
Not only will you discover an incredible lava field that can only be described as “lunar”, we’re also the only tour operators that’ll take you to see the Kintamani Bats. Unlike other bats that hide in the darkness, these bats are huddled together in the open on a cliff side and under a ledge which makes for great viewing and educating the kids.

SUSTAINABLE CITIES & COMMUNITIES
United Nations Global Goal number 11. We give $15 from every Traditional Village, Bamboo Forest and 4×4 Volcano Explorer Private Tour to the Kintamani community. This goes towards local infrastructure including roads, education for farmers on the correct use of the land and more sustainable farming techniques, plus training all the guides in the region, not just our own guides.

PRIVATE TOURS
If you book the tour for just you, or you have up to five more people that are part of your crew, no strangers will be on your tour. We don’t jam others in on the tour to make up the numbers. You’ve booked the tour; the tour is all yours. 1 – 6 people max. More importantly, you get to experience this tour with just your intimate group. People love this new tour design.

OUR TRANSFER DRIVERS
Our drivers, are great mates, have passable English, and are nice to our guests. Best of all ‘they wait’. They pick you up from your hotel on time, you do your selected tour, and they wait. They don’t sneak off and do other jobs whilst you’re on your tour with your personal belongings in their vehicle. Our drivers are 100% tried and tested trustworthy drivers. We pay our drivers to stay for the entire day, whether your tour is one hour, or 10 hours; they wait.
