TESTIMONIALS

I always have absolutely wonderful experiences with Indonesia Expedition. Everything was well-organized, safe, and thoughtfully planned, which made the hike both enjoyable and stress-free. The route was beautifully planned,, the pacing was just right, and the overall atmosphere was friendly and encouraging.

A special mention goes to our guide, Deedee n Frans. Both of them were outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to everyone in the group. Their passion for mountains and hiking really showed, and their positive energy made the entire journey even more enjoyable. They always take the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable, motivated, and included, while also sharing interesting insights along the way.

Thanks to Deedee and Frans and the team, they made the hike not just an activity but a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this Indonesia Expedition to anyone looking for a safe, well-led, and enjoyable adventure

I traveled with Ian and Deedee on a 4 days/3 nights Carstensz Pyramid base camp trekking and had a very good time from airport-to-airport. They are easy to communicate via Whatsapp before the trip. During the trip, they arrange everything so well even under uncertainties such as weather. Their facility at the basecamp is very good, from the tent to food and doctor in case of emergency. I strongly recommend Indonesia Expeditions to anyone who wants to summit Carstensz Pyramid or just trek around its basecamp.

Kemping healing nggak pake pusing. Makanannya pun enak, bener-bener heart warming.

It was such a memorable experience! My very first mountain-climbing adventure was Mount Prau, just as recommended by the Indonesia Expeditions team. It was especially meaningful because I celebrated my 74th birthday on the summit. I had to prepare from zero, as I had never climbed a mountain before, nor camped overnight on one. From planning and preparation to the day of the hike, everything was thoroughly guided by the Indonesia Expeditions team. I climbed with my daughter and my son, and the three of us were greatly supported by the guide and porter, who helped carry our gear along with the birthday items like balloons and cake. Even though the Prau trail is quite clear, the team patiently accompanied us especially when we needed to slow down or take breaks. I even took a brief nap along the trek.

Since my children and I follow a vegan lifestyle, the team also made special arrangements to provide fully vegan meals and snacks. Even though we informed them only one day beforehand, their preparation was impressive and more than sufficient. Aside from being amazed by the mountain’s beauty, cleanliness, fresh air, and stunning views, I was deeply grateful for the incredible support from the Indonesia Expeditions team. The campsite was very comfortable, and all the equipment provided made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

The only company you should consider when going for mountain expeditions across Indonesia. Despite booking a last minute reservation to Carstensz Pyramid, Dee Dee was so accommodating at making sure that everything was taking care off. Also had such an amazing time with Ian who was leading our team, he is very knowledgeable, fun and it was all because of him and Egie that we managed to reach the summit and descent safely. Had such an amazing time with Indonesia Expeditions and looking forward to my next expedition with them.

I recently joined an Indonesia Expeditions trip to climb Carstensz, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The expedition was extremely well organized from start to finish, and the professionalism of the team was clear throughout the journey. The staff were not only helpful but genuinely warm and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Our guides were highly experienced and confident, which gave me great peace of mind during the climb. The food provided throughout the expedition was consistently delicious—far better than I ever expected in such a remote environment.

I was also fortunate to have a perfect weather window on my summit push, allowing me to enjoy spectacular views from the base of the mountain all the way to the summit. The climb itself was fun, engaging, and has become one of my favorite mountain experiences so far.

Overall, I had an outstanding experience with Indonesia Expeditions and would highly recommend this company to anyone considering a Carstensz adventure or any other expedition they offer.

Climbing Mount Trikora with Indonesia Expeditions in 2024 was an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, the guides were calm, highly responsive, and reliable in every situation.  Whenever challenges came up, they reacted quickly, assessed the situation clearly, and immediately worked on the best possible solutions—always considering the safety, comfort, and interests of everyone in the team. Their presence allowed me to fully trust the process and enjoy the climb.

The food was another highlight. Every single meal was delicious, which is something rare on high-altitude expeditions. It added so much comfort and positive energy during long trekking days.

Overall, the expedition was fun, well-paced, thoughtfully organized, and simply "WOW". Indonesia Expeditions didn’t just guide me to Trikora, they made the entire journey meaningful.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, professional, and memorable mountain expedition. 👍🏻

We, my family including three children ages 7, 9 & 12 and two adults, booked a hiking-tour with Indonesia Expeditions in October 2019. Booking the tour with Indonesia Expeditions was very easy. I contacted the company through their website and were able to get all necessary information and options via email. The company was flexible about our needs and wants and put together a hike on short notice. A couple of days before the hike I was contacted by one of the guides via WhatsApp and that made the last minute communication easy. On the day we started the tour an Indonesia Expeditions representative picked us up from the hotel at the proposed time and we drove to the starting location of the hike. Our luggage was taken by the company’s porters and we started the hike with the guides. The first day we hiked up Mt. Gede. There were enough water and snack breaks and everything, including a great lunch box, was provided by the guides. After about 4-5 hours we reached the camp site where a sleeping, eating and toilet tent were set up and we could sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery. A great snack, dinner and breakfast was cooked for us and everything was set up nicely and taken care of. The next morning we woke up early, and after breakfast we hiked up for one more hour to the summit and saw a beautiful sunrise looking out over volcano craters. Then we started our descent, which took about 7 hours, passing hot springs and waterfalls and beautiful nature. Once we arrive at the end of the hike a car was waiting for us to take us back to the hotel.

To sum up the experience: everything went very smooth, the camping was a luxury experience seen the fact that everything was set up and taken care off by Indonesia Expeditions, food was great and the hike was well chosen for the abilities of our family. And, last but not least, all staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank your Indonesia Expeditions for this fun and inspiring experience for our family. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes hiking and go on adventure with their family or friends!

7 Summits of Indonesia in 100 Days and Trikora Climb, I did it with the reliable guides of Indonesia Expeditions. In terms of costs, schedule arrangement, and food were very suitable for me as a client at that time. The most memorable thing was the guides that keep motivating me, to keep determined and finish the expedition. They are more than a guide for me. I’m happy and proud to be one of Indonesia Expeditions’ client.

In 2016 I wanted to climb the ‘Carstensz Pyramid’. In my view an expedition to climb ‘Carstensz’ should include the hike to base-camp and back. Searching the web for a provider who offered such a trip I found ‘Indonesian Expeditions’ and applied for an expedition in November that year. I never regretted that step.

From the day I arrived in Jakarta up to the moment we were back in that city, three weeks later, everything was very well organized. The expedition was a success, we had a great team and had a lot of fun together.

The guides and cook were wonderful, competent and professional, improvising easily when and where necessary. They guided us to base-camp, up the mountain to the summit and all the way back again. All the time taking good care of us, providing us with plenty of good food and drinks and kept us going without problems.

I am convinced these guys will show the same kind of professionalism and dedication when climbing in other parts of the world and in other environments than the jungle and swamps on the way to ‘Carstensz’.

Judging from these experiences and also from the efficient dealings I had with their office, in my opinion this all reflects the general attitude of their company. I would recommend their services to all without hesitation.

Three times already I enjoy my trips with Indonesia Expeditions. First one was two years ago, went to Annapurna Circuit on September 2016. Second time was Kinabalu and the last one was Gokyo Ri on November 2018.

Certainly, going three times with Indonesia Expeditions means I enjoy having trips with them. In terms of route, lodging, food, and their services, nothing to disappoint.

I have climbed numerous mountains with Indonesia Expeditions (Aconcagua, Elbrus, Carstensz to name a few) No doubt the climbs are generally spectacular but what makes the difference is the service from this outfit. I had the pleasure of being guided by Ian & Frans (who are 7 summiteers themselves) who not only run this business for commercial reasons but their passion in mountaineering was oozing perpetually when they are at these peaks. They not only go the extra mile to engage and satisfy us but their personalized service is nonparallel (from registration to pre-climb briefings, training, logistics, food, equipment, weather management, summit day prep etc …they manage it all!)

For me travelling with Indonesia Expeditions eliminates most risk and concerns of a climb and I can focus on what I need to do knowing that other variables are being well managed by very competent and experienced staff. They have been a very important part of my climbing life and I’m grateful to them in providing all the necessary recommendations and an amazing experience. Truly a “first class” company and would highly recommend to anyone.

I found Indonesia Expeditions website and learned that it is operated professionally by Indonesian World Seven Summiteers. Since then, I always trusting Indonesia Expeditions to organize my Mountaineering Trips, at least my last five trips.

If asked about the best mountaineering trip organizer and consultant in Indonesia, only one in my mind and that is Indonesia Expeditions.

Long story short, I know Indonesia Expeditions from Social Media. At that time, I am browsing for things related to mountaineering since it’s my hobby and found their account. It turns out that this company was founded by first Indonesian Seven Summiteers. They already organized many mountaineering trips. And several months after, I got an offer from a sponsor that wants to make a documentary video about climbing in Himalaya. Lobuche East was the destination. I asked who’s the organizer, and they said Indonesia Expeditions. For me, it’s a chance that I can’t miss.

As I expected, Indonesia Expeditions are credible and experienced. Physical and technical preparation were monitored directly by Indonesia Expeditions team couple months before, making the project easier to run, although still full of efforts. They also checked our gears, so we are well prepared for the project. I found also that they have credible partner in Nepal that is very helpful. Overall, the project run smoothly and satisfying. We got our goals. I hope that this will not be my last trip with them. I still have passion to climb other summits with them

From several expeditions, Indonesia Expeditions gives me a lot of new knowledge in climbing mountain that is very useful for me. In terms of services, Indonesia Expeditions totally giving the best services to clients. Not only services, but also education that I might not get it anywhere else. Overall, Indonesia Expeditions is still the best climbing operator in Indonesia, in my opinion.

Indonesia Expeditions team are very professional in terms of providing services to clients. They are very communicative and supportive in preparation, way before the trip (physical training, equipment, etc). They are very detail in pre-trip preparation and very discipline on the field. We, as client, feel very safe and comfortable. About food, they provide very delicious food. Feels like 5-stars restaurant on the mountain. I learned a lot about good climbing management from the guide that accompany me.

Thank God I can meet Indonesia Expeditions to plan an adventure that is really safe and happy. Every year, I always do adventure activities with friends and I met Indonesia Expeditions. It has been five times already having journey with Indonesia Expeditions. Every journey was planned in detail and discussed together, so that every constraint on the journey can be overcome and well-anticipated. Especially for beginners. Thank you, Indonesia Expeditions!!

My experience with Indonesia Expeditions was climbing Carstensz Pyramid via Sugapa that takes 12 days of total 14 days trip duration. Indonesia Expeditions guides that accompany us were very experienced, know well about the terrain and porter characters that help us during the trip. Contingency plan has been prepared and ready to be implemented anytime there’s a problem. Overall, I’m happy and satisfied going with Indonesia Expeditions team. Hopefully can join for another expedition that certainly will be more challenging. Bravo Indonesia Expeditions.

Alhamdulilah, having journey with Indonesia Expeditions was fun because everything was well-prepared, good services with helpful guides, and reasonable price.
