Experience Hunting Hunting Rats
Picture this: You’ve conquered your hotel breakfast buffet. Our intrepid driver will swoop in for your pickup. Your guide, who secretly moonlights as a volcano whisperer, will also be there. Then, we’ll rendezvous with our local ‘jungle concierge’ – aka, the hunter – in the bustling metropolis of Tomohon. Yes, ‘metropolis’ might be a slight exaggeration.
We’re aiming for an ‘early bird catches the… well, hopefully not a wild boar’ start. So, lace up those boots and prepare for an adventure that might involve more mud than a spa day. And, just a heads-up, ‘extreme conditions’ in the jungle could range from ‘slightly damp.’ You might also find yourself ‘best friends with a mosquito by lunchtime.’ Pack accordingly. If you have an extra pair of socks, that is always a plus. And if you have bug-spray, you are a god.
