About Us
Our Story
Bali Trekking Exploration started with one guide and one mountain.
Gede Redika, founder of Bali Trekking Exploration
Gede Redika grew up near Kintamani, close enough to Mount Batur that he lost count of how many sunrises he'd watched from that ridge. He's spent the years since guiding travelers up the same trails he grew up on, and building a small team of local guides who care about this island as much as he does.
What began as one person sharing his home turf has grown into a family-run operation of 15+ years, still rooted in the same idea: the people who know these trails best should be the ones leading you up them, and the money you spend should stay with the families who make the trek possible.
Meet Our Guides
Every trek is led by a local, licensed guide, not a hired driver reading from a script. Our team includes Kuas, Aldi, Armada, Didi, and Subagia, each of them from communities around Kintamani and Mount Batur, and each of them guiding trails they've walked since they were kids.
Our guests' reviews keep coming back to the same thing: guides who know the mountain well enough to read the weather, adjust the pace, and turn a hike into a story.
Why We Ask You to Book Direct
Most Bali treks get booked through a platform: GetYourGuide, Klook, Viator. Those platforms take a commission on every booking, and that cut comes out of what would otherwise go to your guide and the family behind them.
Book directly with us instead, and it goes straight to the guides, the drivers, and the families behind this business. You also get to message our team before you book, so you're planning the trek that actually fits your fitness level, schedule, and group, not just picking from a fixed listing.
We still keep the parts a platform is good for: secure payment and a clear cancellation policy, both right here on our site.
Licensed and Regulated
We operate as a licensed Bali tour guide business, regulated by PPPG and by HPI Bali, the tour guide association of Indonesia.
