Duty First,
Business Second.
Our commitment to safety isn't a company SOP. Our founder, Bripka Agung Sambuko, was covered by national media (Detik.com) for his dedication as a Tourist Police officer keeping visitors safe in the extreme conditions of Kawah Ijen.
"The important thing is that the people who travel are safe."
