TESTIMONIAL

Dear Mr. Andri,
Once again, I wan to say thanks for all your assistance with this trip. I had a wonderful time and look forward to sharing information during my lecture series. As I mentioned before, the Borneo trip was wonderful.

I also enjoyed the Komodo trip. I am so glad that I saw both Rinca and Komodo Islands. The sunset Flying Fox adventure was also fantastic. I was impressed with the skill that the crew displayed navigating the waters in the dark when we returned to my hotel. One suggestion that I have is to reverse the snorkeling and Rinca Island visit so that visitors can see the dragons in the morning when it is cooler and they are a little more active.

The crew was skilled, friendly and the meals were excellent. The guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. He was also a good spotter – he saw a snake catch a lizard, which I would have missed. Everything was great and I will pass on your information to my friends who are considering travel to Indonesia. My first lecture is in early November, so my presentation will be ready by the end of October. I will send you a link to a site where you can access the PowerPoint presentation as soon as it is ready. Thank you, again, for your help and patience. Elaine Boyle

​Hello Novi,
I would just like to give you some feedback re out holiday to see the Orangutans on 17th December. Linda and I had a wonderful time and everything went well, our guide, the boat Captain and his assistant were very helpful and polite. The cook did a good job and we enjoyed all of our meals. We managed to get to the care center which was very good to see and learn more about the Orangutans.

We will be happy to recommend your company to other people. Thank you.

Dear Andri,
Thank you for your kind message. Let me tell you that we had a great time in Indonesia! Your services were excellent and the country warm and inviting! You all did a great job and we were very impressed! So thanks again for your help! We do want to return in the next couple of years. The places on the list are Makassar, Maluku, Irian Jaya, Lombok, Komodo, Gilli Island, Kupang, West Timor. I especially want to visit Banda Islands. Is there good, efficient transportation to Bandas? When is the best time of year to visit the above areas? We want to avoid the rainy season! Thanks again! I hope you are feeling better and keep in touch! Warm regards, Ranjan Sharma

Hey Andri,
Thanks for your help with our trip. Not just with the bookings, but also the numerous changes we made on the fly. Very professional and user friendly, I could not give you higher marks. Feel free to use me as a reference for future clients. I just wanted to give you my perspective on the various portions of our trip. Borneo was fantastic. We went there to photograph Orangutans and our guide, Sam, was great. We were always the first ones in and he let us stay as long as we wanted. He could not have delivered more and was a nice guy too. The other three crew members were great also, getting us in optimal position for some great photographs between the feeding stations. This part could not have been better. Jayapura is not a great city, but it is what it is. Unfortunately, the Aston was one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The air conditioning didn’t work and the room smelled moldy. The restaurant was awful and the bartender did not know how to mix any of the drinks on their menu. It looked particularly bad compared to the Swiss Bell hotel, a place we booked on our own when we came back to the city. It was superior by every measurable parameter. I would think about recommending this as your place to stay in Jayapura. Seeing the Korawai was my favorite part of the vacation. The families were interesting, friendly and could not have been more accommodating. It was truly an outstanding experience on every level. Unfortunately, getting there was another story. Dekai and Mabu were the low points in the trip. The former has essentially no services and the latter was downright scary. Mabu was terrible. We stayed in a tent in a bungalow with 3-4 families. We were right by the water container so people were coming by all night. Of course this was somewhat of a moot point as we could not have slept anyway. The four screaming infants we shared accommodations with made sure of that. We were able to get from the Korowai to Dekai in a single day when leaving. I would highly recommend having a single day option for getting there as well. While Mabu may actually be modern Korowai people, it is not at all interesting, friendly or a place I would ever choose to stay. I can’t think of a single nice thing to say about that place. Wamena was okay. The Dani feast was spectacular, but the rest kind of underwhelming. We repeatedly told Jonas all we wanted to do was photograph indigenous people, but he never quite figured that out. As photographers we continually said we only 2 hours a day; from 7-8:00a.m and 5-6:00p.m. The rest of the day we just explored on our own. He was able to get a few small groups to dress up for shots, but it was always in town. He wouldn’t take us to the villages and it was pretty weak. On the last day we were actually still in Wamena at 7:15 (our prime shooting time) while he was trying to buy a pig. Jonas speaks good English and is a nice guy, but was a pretty mediocre guide. I would seriously consider replacing him. I no longer have any desire to see the Wamena festival knowing he would likely be the guy taking us around. He just couldn’t figure out what we wanted to do. All that being said, we had a great time and I want to thank you again.
