    Getting to the various islands is very convenient. Just check your ticket information beforehand, take a taxi (or motorbike) to the designated location, and you'll easily find a place to exchange your tickets for paper tickets! Then, go to the port early and ask the staff for directions.

    _M1***67_M1***67

    This was the cheapest trip on Ctrip, with Bintang. Overall, it was pretty decent. There was a bit of a hike before and after the rafting, which was a bit strenuous. The rafting was family-friendly and not too stimulating. The kids had a lot of fun, but it might be a little lacking for adults. The rafting lasted two hours, which was a bit boring. At the end of the rafting, there was a buffet of chicken, fried noodles, and vegetables, which were surprisingly good.

    The following are the comments on the Bromo volcano after the tour: Beautiful scenery - sunrise scenery shock: climbing in the early morning waiting for the sunrise, when the sun slowly rises, golden sunlight spills on the sea of clouds and volcanoes, the light and shadow change, the clouds and mist are haunting, like a dreamy wonderland, intoxicating. - Volcanic landscape spectacular: huge crater, smoke-spraying scene, surrounded by black sand sea, as if on the lunar surface, unique landscape brings strong visual impact, can deeply feel the majestic power of nature. Experience - Compact itinerary: usually includes a number of activities such as watching the sunrise and watching the crater. The itinerary is full and needs to be planned for time and physical strength. If you participate in a tour group, you must work closely with the tour guide and driver to ensure the smooth completion of the trip. - Different modes of transportation: you can choose to cross the sand sea by jeep, experience cross-country excitement, and ride to the crater for a different kind of fun. Service facilities - General accommodation conditions: the surrounding homestays and hotels are uneven. If the accommodation requirements are high, you need to carefully select and be psychologically prepared. - Limited dining options: local food tastes may not meet all tourists, there are relatively few types of food, tourists with special requirements for diet can bring some food. Note: Weather is changeable: You need to pay attention to the weather forecast before departure. It is easy to have fog, strong wind and heavy rain during the rainy season, which will affect the viewing experience. There is even a safety risk. The dry season is sunny and more suitable for going. - Large dust: mountain roads and volcanoes around dust, to prepare masks, hats and other protective equipment to prevent dust from entering the mouth, nose and eyes.

    352 yuan buy one get one free is such a good deal, what else can you ask for at this price? The base looks very simple, but the experience is worth it for the price. We arrived at 5 pm and waited for 40 minutes for the last flight. It was very safe. My parents didn't even think it was exciting at all, too stable, hahaha. Of course, young people can also talk to the instructor to fly more exciting flights.

    This is a free attraction. It is called a palace, but it is actually very small. If it were in China, it would be just a slightly larger villa. The carvings on the building are quite beautiful, with a Southeast Asian style.
