Family discovery around Lombok and Java - July 2026 - Our familly (2 adults & 2 kids 15 & 11 y.o.) completed a nearly 2 weeks trip around Lombok and Java that I built together with Climbindonesia, featuring both trekking... read more and more 'conventional' discoveries.
Everything has been very smooth and profesionnal from day 1 to the end, with all arrangements perfectly made, no bad surprises. A 100 % hassle free adventure, which is a real plus when moving around different places quite often. Transports and hotels were carefully selected, ready when needed, without any waste of time, anything you can wish.
Treks were really amazing, with special mentions for our 3 days on Arjuna Werlirang volvanoes on Java Island. The 2 day trek around Bromo Crater was also astonishing (as we were alone, away from the massive crowds). The 3 day hike on Rinjani mountain in Lombok Island was also a great discovery, using a way down which is not so much used and therefore very peacefull.
Our guide was very helpful, present when needed, always willing to answer even basic questions from our side.
The booking process was also very transparent, with all down-payments made in a very traceable way all along the process, which provides also a lot of confidence.
I would clearly recommend Climbindonesia if you are willing to have a custom made trip around Indonesia including some hiking on the multiples areas that are possible to explore.

  Professional & caring team (Mt Ciremai 2D1N camping hike) - The moment you WhatsApp Climb Indonesia to enquire about a hike, you know you're in good hands. Taufan was extremely patient in answering all my questions before the trip. While... read more we had originally booked Mt Gede, forest fires led to the mountain being closed during the 3 days we were there. Climb Indonesia was quick to update us, and we eventually did Mt Ciremai via Apuy instead (the only other similar option near Jakarta). We went at the start of August.

The hike itself felt a little tough for me -- even though I'd been training, it was my first 3,000m+ mountain in a while. But Taufan, who guided us, allowed me to take the trek at my own pace, which helped me enjoy the challenge I'd set for myself. The sunrise view at the summit was also very rewarding.

I want to give special shout-outs to:
- The amazingly freshly cooked meals throughout the 2D1N hike
- The tent setup that kept us warm and cosy overnight
- The experienced and caring crew, who made us feel safe the entire time (overnight, they realised there were wild boars in the area, so one of them stayed up to keep watch throughout the night 🥺)

Cost-wise, I compared their package to another operator and the rates were comparable. After the experience, I'd say it's absolutely fair value -- especially considering the dedication that went into our private hiking tour (we had 1 guide + 3 crew for just the two of us). I also learned that Climb Indonesia allocates some of its earnings to forest restoration efforts to protect the local environment, which is a nice touch.

I would highly recommend Climb Indonesia and would definitely book with them again!

  I recently spent 9 days in Java climbing with Climb Indonesia, and it was extraordinary. - I recently spent 9 days in Java climbing with Climb Indonesia, and it was extraordinary. The experiences, the people, the awe-inspiring landscapes, the historical and culturally significant sites, the nutritious... read more and delicious food, and the physicality of the climbing left an impression I could not have imagined in planning.

This was my second trip with Climb Indonesia, having climbed in West Sumatra in 2024, and once again they exceeded every expectation. As a 53-year-old solo female traveller, Taufan designed a completely bespoke itinerary that was perfectly matched to both my ability and my adventurous spirit. Strategic rest days were built into the schedule, allowing me to successfully summit seven peaks over the 9 days while still recovering enough to enjoy every climb. We did:

🌋 Mount Sindoro (3,153m)
🌋 Mount Sumbing (3,371m)
🌋 Mount Kembar 1 (3,058m)
🌋 Mount Welirang (3,156m)
🌋 Mount Kembar 2 (3,126m)
🌋 Mount Arjuno (3,339m)
🌋 Mount Kelud (1,731m)

On every mountain I was supported by three crew members, and was lucky to have Taufan himself leading. While actually climbing I had two guides with me at all times, which meant there was always someone close by to help if needed while still allowing me to climb at my own pace. Their experience, mountain knowledge and care were evident.

The food was surprising. I expected basic mountain meals but was instead treated to fresh, varied and delicious food every single day. Fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, chicken and meat appeared on mountains where I had no idea how such quality was even possible. The logistics behind making that happen must be big, and it's a real testament to the systems, planning and professionalism of the entire Climb Indonesia team.

Taufan and his crew consistently went above and beyond. I always felt completely safe and supported without ever feeling coddled or over-managed. They anticipated every need before I even realised I had one. Climb Indonesia genuinely delivers on its promise of "hassle-free adventure." Everything is organised, professional and seamless, allowing you to focus entirely on enjoying the mountains and the experience.

There are still stacks of volcanoes on my to do list and I won’t climb with anyone else!
