Travel Tips from Real Visitors
According to Nathan reviews, some travelers who joined a 2D1N trip said they “got more hiking and swimming time, although not longer stays at Komodo due to strict regulations”—but the village and nature experience left the deepest impression .
“We had an absolutely fantastic couple of days with Arthur and his family at the farm.
Whilst there we swam in the river/waterfall, saw how his family produces sopi from beginning to end, attempted to catch eel (no luck this time!), experienced traditional ceremonies, ate loads of good food from the farm (and worms we got from bamboo!) cooked on the fire, drank sopi, and slept out in nature in a traditional hut.
Arthur and his family were brilliant and incredibly friendly. This was a really unique, memorable experience, and a highlight of our time in Indonesia. Cannot recommend visiting enough.”
