Had such a good time with Ridwan on our first Trek that I ended up doing 2 more tours with him. Couldn’t recommend him more. Amazing guy and an amazing tour guide, as well as a photographer. Thank you so much Ridwan! All love.

I had such a great time with Ridwan on his Volcano hike and jungle trekking tour. I can definitely recommend it! He and his driver picked us up early at the hostel and the feeling was good right from the start. The drive to the volcano takes around 2 hours but we stopped along the way where Ridwan explained/ showed things about the local Indonesian life. The hike takes you through a lush, green rainforest. Be aware: it is a rainforest so lots of muddy puddles so your shoes get soaked and dirty, but that is part of the jungle experience. The crater of the volcano is amazing and makes you feel you are on another planet. It is possible to swim in one of the hot springs there, which is a special experience in itself. On the way back we passed the waterfall for some pictures and the option to swim there as well. The most amazing thing is during the whole trip we didn't see any other tourists. These are absolutely beautiful places to visit but without any of the overcrowdedness of most touristy places. Thank you again, Ridwan!

My partner and I were arrived in Jakarta and booked a trek with Ridwan to Mt. Salak. Ridwan went out of his way to accommodate us—offered a pickup from our hotel in Jakarta (2hours from the start point) and after meeting us, walked through the local customs, traditions etc. before the trek. During the trek, he made sure everything was taken care of. Language was not at all a barrier and we enjoyed every description Ridwan shared with us. He clicked a lot of beautiful pictures of us, offered raincoats fruits when he didn’t have to, and the meal he carried for us—which we ate at the top spot of the volcano—was delicious.
I would highly recommend the Salak trek if you are in Jakarta, or one of the other experiences Ridwan has to offer.

Look forward to meeting you again Ridwan, terima kasih for everything!

What an amazing experience! Ridwan as well as the other guides were so knowledgeable and kind. The food provided on the hike was delicious authentic Indonesian food. I was visiting Jakarta for the weeken and this hike was by far the best part of my trip. Thank you, Ridwan!!
