For us, this was a once in a lifetime experience. There were some points where we were convinced we weren’t going to make it, but our guide Adet believed in us and helped us through it, motivating us to go further. Also the two girls in our group were really helpful and motivating, hence I would recommend booking a shared group tour. We have experienced the hike harder than we thought in advance as this was our first hike ever, so know what you’re getting into and prepare well. With perseverance and the right guidance it turned out to be possible. The meals that were provided by the guide Adet and the porters was more than sufficient, with proteins and vitamins to keep on going. Also, sufficient drinks and snacks were brought by the crew. After the hike to the crater rim, we decided not going further to the summit. For us, our goal has already accomplished and we are really proud of it! In our experience Dhyns is a good operator that fulfills its agreements. The service was great, as we were being picked up at Kuta for a bit of extra money. Also the camping equipment was perfect: chairs, tables, inflatable mattresses, pillows and sleeping bags were provided. There are many operators that offer a tour like this. For us it was important the operator was trustworthy, as we booked through WhatsApp from a distance. We’ve read some stories of unreliable companies offering these tours. The reviews on Dhyns and the fact that they are mentioned on the official website of Rinjani National Park convinced me of the reliability of Dhyns. Thanks Dhyns-crew for this unforgettable experience!
