Trip to Indonesia

CLIENTS TESTIMONY - INDONESIA TRIP

What an amazing crew !!. They made our life so comfortable - and contributed so much to the shoot - we were talking amongst the crew about giving our guide a producer credit on the show that's how on it he was, and knowing of what we needed to have for a successful shoot
after the first day on the job - it's hard to find that sometimes in LA. Overall i would give your outfit a 10 out of 10, can't say enough about how well we were all taken care of and the knowledge of the area we traveled was unbelievable. Your guys turned out to be some of our best assets on the team out there.

The episode airs in november on the travel channel. I'll send you a copy of the show when we finish cutting it and there is going to be an article in the october issue of outside magazine based on the expedition - will include some of those as well

Thanks again for all of your help

Dear Jeffry,
I wanted to thank you for your amazing assistance in Indonesia during the Orangutan and Komodo Dragon filming of our documentary series, Kratt Brothers Be the Creature, for the National Geographic Channel.

It’s always difficult producing programmes where the location is so far away from home base, but the professionalism of ADVENTURE INDONESIA made it incredibly easy. You and your colleagues provided amazing logistical services before, during and after our filming.Every time we needed something done, there was never a question of it not being possible. My confidence in you was complete.

I would recommend ADVENTURE INDONESIA highly to anyone who needed assistance when traveling to Indonesia.

Whether you were dealing with the intricacies of filming permissions or just arranging travel, all the work done was at the higher level. I give you a 5 star rating..!!! Once again, many thanks for everything you and Adventure Indonesia did for us. It was wonderful.

Kind regards,

**I represent a wildlife television series for Animal Planet and Discovery Communications called "The Jeff Corwin Experience." In February and March 2003, I had the pleasure of planning a filming trip to Jakarta and Kalimantan, Indonesia with the tour operator Adventure Indonesia.

I initially contacted several companies to organize the logistics of our trip and it became evident very early on in the process that Adventure Indonesia team were superior to the rest. Their patience and attention to detail when faced with seemingly countless requests and questions really made a difference in allowing the process to run smoothly. Further to that, the nature of our shooting schedule required that we alter our travel plans throughout our shoot, and with each change Adventure Indonesia made quick and high quality arrangements as necessary.

Among the services Adventure Indonesia arranged for us were ground transportation hire, domestic flights, accommodations, local liaising with wildlife experts, and satellite phone rental -- all at times in very remote locales. Their far-reaching network of associates helped them to provide an excellent level of service at the most reasonable price.

Adventure Indonesia proved itself to be a very professional and resourceful organization who repeatedly went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our shoot was successful. I would highly recommend them as a facilitator for recreational and professional trips alike.

Sincerely,
Holly Williamson

**I am writing to tell you about our clients in Indonesia. Jose Antonio Lizana called us some days ago to tell us that he couldn´t be happier with his tour and your services. He was talking for quite a long time about all the things that he had liked, and he was completely satisfied with his guides and drivers, he only had nice words for all of them. He is a person who travels a lot, for work reasons and also on holiday, and he was really impressed with everybody in your agency. We already knew that you were the best, Jeffry. Of course, he loved Indonesia, and he is really thinking about coming back next year. We are quite sure that soon we will have to ask you for another program for him.

I really must insist that he has returned completely satisfied. He is a regular client, and has travelled with us several times, but this time he was even happier than before. We really are very grateful for all your hard work, and look forward to working a lot more with you in the future. Thanks again and best regards, (Paco)

More than two weeks ago we cme back from Indonesia. I would like to thank you once more for your patience and proffesional service. All my clients are very happy with this trip and I hope to repeat it next year. I am preparing a slide show with many pictures from this trip. As soon as it is ready I will let you know to view all of them.
Hope to hear from you soon. Regards, Estera

But in between all the nice impressions about my holidays comming back to my heard and mind. I really must tell you everything worked perfect. No problems and husle at all.... My time on Borneo was very enjoyable and everybody did his best. I felt very good with my "crew" and they gave me a good time. I had very nice experiences.
Thanks a lot for your good organisation and friendly help!
Greetings from Frankfurt/Germany Gabriele

Ade, I went to your website, but could not figure out how to send in a testimony via the website. So I have decided to send you an email instead.

Our family went on an 8 day tour of Java, arranged by Adventure Indonesia. We covered Jogjakarta, Borobudur, Dieng Plateau, Losari, Solo and Mt Bromo. We had a very knowledgeable, cheerful and helpful guide, Mr Bambang; our driver, Mr Bri, was a very safe, patient, helpful and polite driver. Both of them accompanied us throughout the journey and took excellent care of us. The itinerary suggested by Adventure Indonesia was family-friendly. The accommodations were of the highest standard, especially the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Jogjakarta and the Losari Coffee Plantation Resort and Spa. I would highly recommend Adventure Indonesia to friends and relatives who plan to make a trip to Indonesia. Thank you for a most memorable family vacation.

Regards.

Hello Janice!

Dear Yanthi and Jeffry,

We are back home in San Diego. All of us had a fantastic trip to Indonesia!!! Thank you very much for the great arrangements and guides. Edi was fantastic! He knew so much about the temples and was very accommodating when we wanted to stop for shopping and photos. Alexander was also very helpful on the boat and on the islands. Oci was great in Labuan Bajo. She took us to some good shops and a wonderful restaurant overlooking the harbor. All in all, it was one of our best trips ever.

I am going to try to get some of my friends here in San Diego to consider making the same trip. I will let you know if I can get enough for another tour. Best regards, (Gary McElroy)

**Just wanted to say thanks again to all the wonderful people associated with ADVENTURE INDONESIA. My participation in the Trans-Kalimantan Trip was the trip of a lifetime. And all the people I interacted with from Adventure Indonesia from the first day I made contact with them via email, until I got to the airport for the long flight back to the U.S., were curteous, pleasant and very professional. Please feel free to use me as a reference for your company. It is one of the best organized and most trustworth companies I have ever been associated with. TEREMA KASHI.

**Our trip in the Orangutans was excellent and very well organised as well as the rest of our trip (gilli Meno and Jakarta hotels).
We have tried before to arrange by ourselves a trip to Kalimantan, and we know the difficulties. So we can assure you that we are well pleased from Adventure Indonesia and we will contact you again in a future trip to Indonesia. We also like to give a special thanks to Arintha for her professional arrangments and for her warm hospitality as well as to Andreas (our guide to Kalimantan) who really help us understand and enjoy the Orangutans tour. Thank you and hope to see you again! -( Georgios and Nota )

** I want to thank you for all your work in arranging or Komodo trip, which all went veery smoothly and according to plan. The crew of the boat were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the food was very appetising. A special mention must go to Oci, who provided all our services on the ground in Flores and went out of her way to ensure that we were well looked after. The trip was a memorable experience, and we got to see plenty of Komodo dragons, although only on Rinca. I shall certainly be recommending the trip to our friends and would not hesitate to use Adventure Indonesia again on a future trip. Thank you once again. Kind regards, Clive

We are back in Rome now and would like to thank you for all your efforts that made our holidays an unforgettable experience. The Hotels in Bali were both excellent and the boat trip to Camp Leakey absolutely wonderful. The crew, the food, the klotok, everything was simply perfect ! We saw so many orangutans and we never imagined that it was possible to come so close to these fantastic primates. Sitting with Siswi on the jetty and playing with the orphans at the OFI-clinic were like a dream of a liftime coming true.
Thank you once again, Elly! Hope to talk to you soon about our future trips to Indonesia! -

***Hi Arintha,
Thanks so much for your help and answering all our questions before we came over to Indonesia, you have been a tremendous help!!

Kalstar cancelling the flight was not Adventure Indonesia's fault and in no way do we hold you responsible. We greatly appreciate all the assistance, and help, especially driving us 9 hours to get to Palankaraya to get us back to Jakarta!!

From the start to finish, every single person who we dealt with, who was part of Adventure Indonesia was truly fabulous, and we were looked after so very, very well. We absolutely LOVED our Borneo trip - and as what is written on your website "a magical trip" - it was definitely that and more! Rudy was absolutely wonderful in looking after us, and we cannot thank him enough, especially for the help he gave, coming all the way to Palankaraya and helping us with flights there. (And all others that helped that we didnt see that were involved there!!) We cannot thank Rudy enough!! And to Azis and Anjang, they were both fantastic as well and we appreciated their smiling faces on the boat and all their help, they were amazing, helping us through from dawn to night time.

Camp Leakey, Tanjung Harapan, and all the other places we visited when on the Klotok were just amazing, and we loved every minute of it!

Visiting the Care Centre was honestly one of the most moving and best days of both of our lives. We will cherish and remember this day in our hearts always. Thank you so much for suggesting it. We were even fortunate enough to meet Lydia, the Orangutan we had sponsored from Australia! Sumi was wonderful spending her time with us and we appreciated her spending so much of her time with us.

Special thanks to you for making our trip so memorable Arintha, you had organised everything so perfectly, which ensured why everything ran so smoothly once we were there. The trip was incredible, and we have already started to spread the word on how fabulous Adventure Indonesia is!!

Thanks also to Ade, she was so lovely and helpful, (and all others who helped from the Jakarta office too). Thanks to Yanto, he was great with his help driving us, waiting for us at the care centre, and the help with when things went astray with Kalstar, we couldnt have asked for more or better help!!

Also, special thanks once again to Rudy, a fabulous and definately expert guide, and for helping us so extremely well all the way to Palankaraya!! Anjang, for making us such delicious meals each and every time - he spoilt us!! And Azis for all his help driving us on the boat and helping out in many other ways as well, they were all truly wonderful.

We have had a truly amazing experience, and so many precious memories to now take home with us. Thank you for making this possible.

Kind regards, and best wishes, and thank you once again - the word "thank you" really do not seem enough!!

***Dear Jannice:

Sorry for the delay! When we came back, there were so many tasks to be done that I was unable to write you before.

Thank you very much for the trip. It was fantastic! We really enjoyed it. Sophia was delighted! She specially liked the orangutans and everything related to it. She was very happy on the klotok. She visited every little corner of it. Whenever Copi was cooking, she was there observing and asking. She met the captain before we did, and she immediately stablished a wonderful relation with Rudy the guide! Certainly the trip and overnights on the klotok added a special charm to the trip. But meeting and interacting witn the orangutans was the best
experience Sophia could ever have.

Your services all along the trip were wonderful. In every place there was a kind person to receive and help us. The Ruma Mertua Boutique Hotel in Yogyakarta was charming, cozy, beautiful and with excellent service. The only hotel we did not like was the Flores Sare that was under construction and the toilette service did not work well. The hotel people was kind and helpful, but we were surprised that it was marked 2*in the hotel list, you mailed us. Whenever we have a hotel marked with (*) means it is good. If it is marked (5*) it means it is excellent and luxurus.

For example the hotel in Bali, the Bali Kuta Sea View was marked 3* and was as expected. I am clarifying this, with the idea of helping you with future tourists, not as a complain. For example the Golo Hill Top Hotel in Labuhan Bajo was excellent, with an extraordinary ocean view; and there were no * marked on your list. Therefore I thought this misunderstanding, needed to be cleared.

We loved Yogyakarta, the Borobudur Temple and the Prambanan Temple. Flores Island delighted Sophia, who said whe would like to live
there. The dawn at the three colored lakes of Kelimutu was spectacular! The views all along the road were fantastic, specially the terraced hills with rice fields. The charming Bena was like going back into history . We really loved this hamlet.

On the way to Labuan Bajo we stopped to watched the lingko, though I still think, it was not the same place I have seen in pictures. It was just a half web of rice fields. Anyway it was beautiful.

As I mentioned before, the Golo Hill Top Hotel and he Ruma Mertua Boutique Hotel in Yogyakarta were Sophia's favorite hotels. We are so excited with our experience, sharing it with the family and friends that we are happy recommending Adventure Indonesia to all
of them. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND PATIENCE!

Love, Estela (estelaparrilla7@yahoo.com.mx)
