Review from our Partner about client’s trip to West Java 10 Days 9 Nights
Dear Dwi,
I hope that you are well.
Last year you helped prepare a private itinerary for Scott which was fabulous.
We would like to book another private tour in Indonesia please.
He is wanting to visit Gunung Padang which I believe is in West Java and we were wondering if we could add this on somehow to the JAVA BALI KOMODO 8 DAYS/7 NIGHTS tour?
Please remember we need private tour with guide like last time
Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing back from you

Hello Dwi!
Darko and the group arrived safely back home to Croatia.
Everyone are so happy and full of longlasting adventure memories.
Once more, thank you and your team: the drivers and the guides and local guides were so helpful and professional.

I hope we will have more trips to beautiful Indonesia.

Review by Phil C About Celukan Bawang Bali Shore Excursion
Dwi,
I would like to sincerely thank you, Edi, and Ferdi and the other driver and guide from bus 2 for a fantastic day.
Edi was very knowledgeable and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and friendliness.
It was a shame that a few people were late to arrive but everything else was amazing and went so smoothly.
Best wishes for future endeavours and cruise tours.
Kindest regards and many thanks
Phil

REVIEW BY CHARLOTTE ABOUT TOUR TO JAVA WITH FAMILY
Dear Dwi,
I wanted to write a big thank you for the wonderful east Java tour you planned for us!!
The communication was super easy and each question we had was answered really fast. The organization was just perfect and Nur was a very good driver and kind person! Everything worked according to plan. Just a pity that Kawah Ijen was closed but that would then be a good reason to return to Java!
I will definitely recommend Getaway Tours to anyone visiting Indonesia.
Thanks again and all the best!
Kind regards
Charlotte
Traditional Villages in Sumba Island
Visiting a new places is not just admiring the natural beauty yet experiencing and see deeper of the local tradition and culture. One of the places worth visit is traditional villages. In Sumba Island there are some traditional villages that still preserves the local architecture. They are situated on the west and on the east.
RATENGGARO VILLAGE: This village is located not far from the famous Weekuri Lagoon. And can be a day trip from Tambolaka Airport. The houses in the village is erratic compared to other villages. The roof is higher that that of other villages. It is situated nearby the sea and it is captivating to be photographed from the other side, which is nearby the sea, that the village and the shallow blue sea can be captured in your lens. If you are a photographer, can picture Sumbanese riding horse on the beach with the village background.
Ratenggaro Village is surrounded by gabion wall. There are the megalithic artefacts in the village and at the beach related to their indigenous belief, Marapu belief.
Locals open their house for visitors to see the inside. The house is on stilts, with the lower area is for animals. The roof is made out of hays and reeds. The high roof has similar shape to Joglo house of Javanese. The high roof of Ratenggaro Village is probably built so to store crops and it is higher than other areas as the south west region is dry that they can store more food.
PRAIJING VILLAGE : Is situated on the West Sumba Regency. It is situated higher in the island and it has the best place to take photo of the village without drone. The houses roof is not as high as Ratenggaro yet, and as its geographic location, Praijing has ethereal beauty. It is surrounded by green vegetation, with a village street, and the thatched roof. You can walk in the village, meeting the locals, seeing their pets and livestock. Locals have habit to chew beetles nut like other areas in Sumba, that their teeth are reddish. Some women are working on the loom making Sumba traditional hand woven fabric, tenun Sumba.
PRAILIU VILLAGE :The village is not far from the city center. The village was the capital of Lewa Kambera Kingdom. The locals still preserve the custom and tradition until today. The direct descendats of Lewa Kambera Kingdom still reside in the village. The unique thing in this village is that we can see the megalithic tomb. The tomb of king weights 40 tons and when he died it is not just his body put inside but also pigs and other animals, and as well woven fabric.
