    SANATORIUM is so AMAZING and a must play for any horror & thriller seeker escape room fans.

    The atmosphere is extremely thrilling and frightening, not for those with faint-hearted for sure 👻

    The friendly staffs said we were the only ones (4 adults + 1 child) who succeeded that week 😄

    The jump scares are so superior , very nice lol.

    10 out of 10 from us 💯

    Anneke and Brandon took me to places I would never have gone to by myself. They are super friendly and knowledgeable guides. It's not only a tour, it's their mission to support the local communities.

    We met people living very close to train lines, under motorway bridges, next to a river. The guides are known to them and are very considerate and respectful. I was also part of handing out a recent donation of basecaps, flip-flops and backpacks to some of the homeless people.

    Furthermore, we used the traditional means of transport, experienced how tofu and tempeh are made in small shops and I got lots of first hand background information on the history of slums as well as how and why they develop and what it means to live in these areas.

    A part of the tour fee will be used to support the local communities. I can only recommend the Hidden Tour. It's worth every rupee!

    From day one it was so relaxing to have Gary organise our itinerary, from times to be ready and any requests that were never too much trouble. I loved all the vegetarian meals, so delicious and lots of variety. We got to see over 30 orangutangs so I was super happy. Especially the ones so close to the boat, because many were rehabilitated by humans, we did not disturb them with our presence. It was a truly humbling experience and one I will never forget. To travel with Leif was amazing to listen to his talks about his conservation work, a man I so admire for his selfless & tiresome work for all mankind and our amazing animal kingdom. I cannot thank Gary & all his guides enough for their conservation work & help to Leif by organising these amazing tours for us to grow and learn about these precious animals.
    I will definitely be doing another tour in the future and will continue to support all of Leif's projects to keep these animals from extinction. Thank you, Orangutang Odysseys,!!!! 👍

    Our 2D1N Mount Gede hiking experience with Climb Indonesia was excellent and better than I’ve expected.

    I’ve been on many treks globally, and quite a few times (especially in Southeast Asia), the guide would walk way ahead of or way behind the clients, without providing any assistance or info.

    Samsul, our Climb Indonesia guide, always led from the front in close proximity with the group. He is cheerful and took great care of us, varying his speed to cater to our needs. He’s generous with sharing his experiences on various mountains in Indo, and also took beautiful photos for us!

    The food on trail was some of the best I’ve had. I’ve grown accustomed to packed sandwich and omelette for treks, but with Climb Indonesia you get a full spread of meat and carbo and veg and fruits. On a cold night at the camp site we were even treated to fish soup! What a surprise!

    The vehicle for hotel to trailhead transfer was also clean and spacious.

    Overall, I would fully recommend a trekking experience with Climb Indonesia, they will not disappoint!

    Andrew arranged our private dive trip to Krakatoa, starting with a pickup from the airport, 3.5 hr drive to coast, overnite hotel & fab dive day & hike. Also incl drive back to our hotel in Jakarta. Dede, Akbar & Samsul were all absolutely amazing & we felt so well taken care of. Samsul has great English & is so knowledgeable about Krakatoa, with a ready smile & great personality. We all did the hike up to see that incredible view after diving. I highly rec him as a guide to Krakatoa & underwater dive guide. Dede was great & so attentive to us in the water & took great pics & video. That was a surprise bonus! The combo of Dede & Samsul was great! Akbar was a great driver, very nice. Also, the boat captain & his 2nd were great! Lunch was also very good. A few extras. Samsul talked to the hotel about serving our breakfast earlier so we could leave earlier & arranged for us to keep our room til 5pm so we could have a quick shower after diving. Dede understands customer service & aims to please & he did. Samsul explained last nite how so much coral was destroyed by the tsunami 5 yrs ago, so we were prepared for that. But it is clear that the coral is coming back. We saw some pretty fans & such and some schools of fish. When we were up on the crest, my husband told me & everyone, "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I'd be standing here, let alone dive in the caldera!". Great trip!
