Founder, Bali Trekking Exploration · Local guide

Gede Redika conceptualized and manages Bali Trekking Exploration. He is native Balinese and fluent in English.

I grew up near Kintamani, close enough to Batur that I've lost count of how many sunrises I've watched from that ridge. I've been guiding travelers up the same trails I grew up on, and building a small team of local guides who care about this island as much as I do.

Here's the thing about booking a tour through a big platform: your money passes through two or three hands before it reaches the person who actually walks you up the mountain. Book directly with us instead, and it goes straight to the guides, the drivers, and the families behind this business. That's the whole reason we exist.
