What Our Guests Are Saying
★★★★★
Yeayyy! Nice folks!
The Sunrise, sunset and leisure in our trip are unforgettable.. what I like the most is the BBQ nite at our hostel where we cooked together and hang out at the roof top. Well organized yet homie..
★★★★★
Wonderful Experience
We really had a good time in Bali and Flores. Nice places where we experienced culture and nature all in one. my favorite place in Bali is peliatan palace. The tea time ceremony was fun. The dinner option there were pretty expensive, but our guide mr. Wiadi took us to classic restaurant where we can see the process of cooking and the local food was awesome. Flores is good but definitely not as hype as Bali, yet the experience here with komodo dragons and manta is priceless.. the simple bbq with the moonlight and 360 view at the rooftop are dope!!! Highly recommended.. like as the say.. “Shall wetravel again mates? hahahahahaha

Insane Hidden Gems!
When we had our review at the hotel lobby, our guide told us we will explore some hidden paradises in our trip which is Bali and Flores.. all is true.. tukad cepung waterfall and rangko cave impressed me well.. our guide and drivers did a good job to keep us entertained and destroy the wall the first time we all gathered.
