I had an AMAZING tour with Alfat. This is by far the best thing I’ve done in Indonesia! I signed up immediately for another tour with Moana. The care they take to partner with the locals and teach you about the natural surroundings, history, religion and folklore is so thoughtful. I highly recommend!
