 Verified 3 Tageshike auf den Rinjani, mit Stopp am See und Vulkan.
Vorab muss ich gestehen, dass der Hike leichter angepriesen wird, als er letztendlich ist. Ich bin an meine körperlichen Grenzen gekommen. Jedoch kann ich sagen, dass es sich sehr gelohnt hat. Zum einen sind die Guides sehr nett und auch die Porter, die sowohl Verpflegung als auch Schlafsachen für uns den Berg hochtragen, haben immer ein Lächeln im Gesicht.Die Natur ist atemberaubend schön und die Aussicht oben auf der Spitze unbeschreiblich. Natürlich muss man Glück mit dem Wetter haben, damit nicht alles bewölkt und regnerisch ist, wenn man oben ankommt.

 Verified Wonderful experience
The 3D2N rinjani trekking package was the perfect way to start our trip to Lombok! We were treated to a home cooked meal at Hardy’s home before the start of our hike. The hospitality and services provided by Hardy, our guide Alba and porters (Ali and Sacip) were excellent. Alba also brought us to visit the waterfalls nearby before the trek. We were taken very good care of for the entire duration of the trek and we owe a great deal of our safety to them. Definitely recommend the Lombok Trekking packages to anyone thinking of hiking Mt Rinjani! The view is amazing :)

 Verified Rinjani Summit Tour
Amazing experience. Mr Hardy and his crew looked after us the whole time. Started off by picking us up at the hotel, brought us to his house where he gave us breakfast. Was also happy to supply us with equipment like head torches, ponchos etc. His guide Ian was lovely,  kept us motivated but not rushed us, and the porters also very nice guys. (Don't know how they get up that mountain carrying all the stuff they do). Kept us well fed. Would highly recommend

 Verified Bijzondere avontuurlijke ervaring
Per toeval ontmoette ik Meneer Hardy in de accommodatie waar ik verbleef. Ik vroeg hem over de trekking opties en had dezelfde avond contact via whatsapp om de reis te plannen. Volgende dag kwam de vriendelijke guide Hery me briefen en reed me zelfs zijn scooter naar de ATM die 10 minuten verder in Senaru lag.Alles werd via whatsapp geregeld en de volgende ochtend werd ik opgepikt door de porters en reden we naar de andere 4 hikers. We stopte nog bij een shop waar je eventueel zelf nog snacks kan kopen maar in principe wordt alles voor je geregeld. Ik had zelf een hoofdlampje en de kleren die ik nodig heb, maar ze zijn behulpzaam als je iets tekort komt. Ik zou in ieder geval schoenen met een goede grip meenemen en als je rond het regenseizoen gaat zorg sldan ook dat ze waterdicht zijn en sneldrogende kleding bij je hebt.Huidig zijn er nieuwe maatregelen en moesten we eerst langs het ziekenhuis voor een bloeddruk test. Hier betaal je extra voor.De hike is erg pittig. Gelukkig start de wandeling vrij gemakkelijk met genoeg pauzes met snacks en de geweldig sterke porters koken erg goede lunch en diner.We hadden in de nacht sterkte wind en regen dus hadden niet geslapen. Ik maakte me zorgen over het weer bij de summit, maar de guide verzekerde ons dat we niet zullen gaan als het niet veilig was.De tocht naar boven was erg zwaar zonder slaap maar ook erg speciaal. Mijn hoofdlamp was niet erg fel dus ik zou adviseren er een mee te nemen met nieuwe batterijen of een die goed fel is.De drop offs zijn erg fijn. Mijn groepje werd helemaal naar Kuta gebracht en ik naar Bangsal.Meneer Hardy appte na afloop hoe het is geweest en de guide stuurde ons filmpjes en fotos na.Dankjewel voor de avontuurlijke ervaring

 Verified Supportive, welcoming family-business that go above and beyond to help you to the summit!
Mr Hardy looked after me like family. I struggled with internet to pay my deposit and he trusted me to pay on arrival, and sent a car to pick me up from the other side of Lombok (3 hours away) and the wonderful driver Is helped me get money from the ATM. Then, I was the only hiker, and he and his lovely wife and family welcomed me into their home and fed me a beautiful meal. I was treated like their own daughter, so kind. His son Mujahidin who has a beautiful daughter of his own, took me on a slow-paced, guided tour of the nearby waterfalls and was very engaging, telling stories and singing. They put me up in a lovely, quiet homestay where I was fed dinner and breakfast, and the staff were the kindest, most accomodating. The view of Rinjani and the ocean from the homestay was spectacular. I was only meant to hike to the crater rim (1N2D), but Mr Hardy encouraged me to summit (1N2D also) and provided me with extra gear - a head torch, rain coat and later came by the home stay with hiking poles for me free of charge. He went above and beyond.The hike itself was challenging at times, but our most wonderful guide Bri never pushed us and allowed us to hike at our own pace. In fact, he encouraged us to rest often rather than pushing on to the lunch POS which meant we arrived when lunch was served rather than pushing hard and waiting at that POS for too long. So caring and considerate. He was engaging the whole 2 days, speaking at length with all hikers (four of us), keeping morale up and making sure we were all comfortable. For the summit, he walked with the last hiker to make sure no one was left behind. The porters are the strongest, most hardworking and thoughtful men I have met. Their job is incredibly hard and they do it with a smile on their faces. The meals they provided were amazing, and the set up and pack down of camp was seamless. They carried our gear, food and water for us like champs. Couldn't have done it without them.We arrived at the crater for the night to a set up camp and too much food to eat. I shared some with other hikers from other trekking companies who were amazed with the luxuries we were provided (pisang goreng for snacks and banana pancakes at 2am before the summit).The summit obviously is completely amazing and a must do when in Indo. But the people made all the difference! Mr Hardy's team is simply the best! I felt welcomed, safe, supported, and appreciated by everyone I met through hiking with Mr Hardy. I wish him and his family-business all the blessings in the world, they really do deserve it. If you are thinking of hiking Rinjani, Mr Hardy's WhatsApp is +628175750585. The best part about your experience won't even be the hike, it'll be all the people that help you get there!Terima kasih bunyak Mr Hardy and family :)

 Verified Rinjani summit trekking (via Torean)
Очень рад, что при подготовке к своему путешествию по Индонезии нашел контакты и рекомендации мистера Харди в качестве организатора восхождения на Ринджани. Всё было организовано на самом высоком уровне! Прежде всего, очень приятно удивило то, что входило в цену тура, а это буквально всё! Даже трансфер от и до места начала/ завершения путешествия на острове Ломбок и первая ночь в довольно неплохом отеле. Особо хочу отметить питание во время восхождения. Оно было невероятно разнообразным, вкусным и питательным! Огромное спасибо нашему портеру (к сожалению, забыл имя) за эти гастрономические шедевры! Ну и в целом организация восхождения не вызывала никаких вопросов.Сам трек был очень интересным и насыщенным, а пейзажи каждый день менялись: от пустынных ландшафтов склонов вулкана при восхождении до настоящих дождевых лесов на пути в Тореан.Единственное что огорчало, это большое количество мусора повсюду. Но наши гиды очень ответственно относились к сбору мусора и даже уносили с собой часть мусора.Очень рекомендую всем, кто путешествует в Индонезию, восхождение на Ринджане с мистером Харди! Незабываемые впечатления гарантированы!

 Verified Expérience de vie!
Alex et moi avons vécu une expérience merveilleuse en parcourant le Rijiani jusqu'au sommet. Nous avons d'abord été accueillis dans la maison de Hardy, où nous avons eu droit à un délicieux repas et à des jus de fruits. Nous avons ensuite fait une marche de 2 heures dans les magnifiques cascades de la montagne Rijiani, afin de nous entraîner pour le vrai treck. La logistique et la nourriture ont été très bien planifiées pour le vrai treck. Vous serez guidé par des personnes très expérimentées et aimantes, pour un trek de 7 heures jusqu'au basecamp le premier jour, puis de 3 heures jusqu'au sommet le deuxième jour au matin et de 4 heures pour revenir au point 1 l'après-midi. La nourriture est délicieuse, vous en aurez beaucoup - la faim n'est certainement pas quelque chose que vous ressentirez. Mais pensez à emporter un bon équipement : de bonnes chaussures de trekking, des gants, beaucoup de vêtements thermiques - il fait vraiment froid et il y a du vent près du sommet - une casquette et des bâtons. Merci Hardy, Anan, et l'équipe pour avoir fait de ce treck une expérience inoubliable !

 Verified Unmissable experience
I did a 3N 4D trip and can't ecommend highly enough.  The mountain itself is beautiful, and the climb to the summit is a real challenge but definitely worth it. Mr. Hardy organised everything for me and made me feel very welcome. I was greeted with a local green chicken curry on arrival and made to feel at home. My guide and porter were amazing. They both had such great local knowledge, Ash is definitely the king of Rinjani. He knows everybody and everybody knows him. I said I like coconuts so he climbed a 15m tree to get us some. Brother Alba speaks great English and is maybe the most handsome man on Rinjani, he can also teach you some of the local language.
