点评:Our trip to the top of Ijen with Qim Qim and his guide team was, without question, one of the most unforgettable experiences of our entire 23 day trip through Indonesia.
From the very beginning, we could see how professional and thoughtful Qim Qim and his team were. They divided everyone into three groups based on walking pace: slow, medium and fast. This meant nobody felt pressured, nobody was left behind, and every person received the support they needed along the way.
My daughter struggled while climbing down into the crater, and one of Qim Qim's guides stayed beside her, holding her hand and helping her during both the descent and the climb back up. That alone showed us how much they genuinely cared about the people in their group.
But what happened next is something my family and I will never forget.
Inside the crater, in probably the busiest and most chaotic part of the entire trip, we realised that my daughter had lost both her phone and her coat. One of the guides and I searched inch by inch for almost an hour, but we could not find them.
Eventually, Qim Qim appeared at the top of the crater. He told me not to worry and said, "Leave it to me. I will ask around and search again. You go and enjoy the sunrise. I will catch up."
And that is exactly what he did.
He completely paused his own schedule, went back down into the crater and continued searching and asking other guides if anyone had found our things. Around an hour later, he came rushing back towards the sunrise area with incredible news. Another guide from a different group had found both the coat and the phone, and they were being taken safely down to the base camp for us to collect.
After everything he had just done, Qim Qim immediately switched back into guide mode, picked up his guitar, played music, sang beautiful songs and entertained the entire group while we watched the sunrise over Ijen.
It was surreal. 🌋❤️
When we finally returned to base camp and saw that the coat and phone had really been found and safely looked after, I hugged Kim Kim. I genuinely became emotional. My whole family was amazed by what he and his team had done for us.
I have travelled a lot, but I have rarely experienced this level of care from a guide team.
They were fun, incredibly helpful, organised and constantly looking after us. When hundreds of tourists and other groups were moving through the crater, Kim Kim's team were protecting us, guiding us through the crowds and keeping everyone calm. At the top they prepared coffee and tea for us, shared beautiful stories about Ijen and explained the history of this extraordinary place.
Every detail was handled perfectly.
During our 23 days in Indonesia we visited Mt Bromo, Tumpak Sewu, countless waterfalls, beaches, Bali and many other incredible places. But Ijen with Qim Qim and his team was something completely different.
It was beyond explanation.
In fact, the experience was so special that we are already talking about returning to Java Island and doing the Ijen trip again, largely because we want to experience it once more with Kim Kim and his team.
If you are travelling anywhere near Ijen, book your trip with Qim Qim and his guides.
Do not just go to Ijen.
**Go to Ijen with Qim Qim.**
The mountain is spectacular, but these people are what turned it into a memory our family will carry with us forever. ❤️🌋🙏
翻译:我们与Qim Qim及其向导团队一同攀登伊真火山的经历,毫无疑问是我们在印度尼西亚为期23天的旅行中最难忘的体验之一。
从一开始,我们就能感受到Qim Qim及其团队的专业与细心。他们根据每个人的步行速度将大家分成慢速、中速和快速三组。这样一来,没有人感到有压力,也没有人掉队,每个人都在旅途中得到了所需的帮助。我的女儿在下到火山口时遇到了困难,Qim Qim的一名向导一直陪在她身边,牵着她的手,在下撤及返回的过程中给予帮助。单这一点就让我们深切感受到他们对团队中每一位成员的真心关怀。
然而接下来发生的事,是我和我的家人永远都不会忘记的。
在火山口内——或许是整个行程中最热闹也最混乱的地方——我们发现女儿的手机和外套都不见了。我和其中一名向导几乎花了一个小时,一寸一寸地搜寻,但始终找不到那些东西。
最终,齐姆·齐姆出现在火山口顶端。他让我别担心,说道:“交给我吧。我会四处打听并再次搜寻。你去欣赏日出吧,我随后就赶上。”
而他也确实这么做了。
他完全暂停了自己的行程,重新下到火山口里,继续搜寻,还询问其他向导是否有人找到了我们的物品。大约一个小时后……他带着一个惊人的消息,急匆匆地朝日出方向赶回来。另一个队伍的向导找到了那件外套和手机,现在正把它们安全送回大本营,供我们取回。
在完成这一切之后,齐姆·齐姆立刻又切换回向导模式。他拿起吉他,弹奏乐曲、唱起动听的歌曲,为我们整个团队带来欢乐,而我们则在一旁欣赏着伊真火山上升起的朝阳。
这一切简直如同梦境一般。🌋❤️
当我们终于回到大本营,看到外套和手机真的被找到且得到妥善保管后,我紧紧拥抱了Kim Kim。我真的激动得热泪盈眶。我们全家都对他和他的团队为我们所做的一切感到惊叹不已。
我去过很多地方旅行,但很少体验到来自导游团队如此周到的照顾。
他们风趣幽默、极其乐于助人,做事井然有序,还始终悉心照料着我们。当时,成百上千的游客和其他旅行团都在火山口内穿行。Kim Kim的团队保护着我们,在人群中为我们引路,并让大家保持冷静。在山顶,他们为我们准备了咖啡和茶,讲述了关于伊真火山的动人故事,还介绍了这个非凡之地的历史。
每一个细节都处理得无可挑剔。
在印度尼西亚的23天里,我们游览了布罗莫火山、通帕克塞武瀑布群、无数瀑布和海滩,还去了巴厘岛以及许多其他令人惊叹的景点。但和Qim Qim及其团队一起体验的伊真火山之旅则完全是另一种体验。实在难以用言语形容。
事实上,这次体验实在太特别了,以至于我们现在已经在商量着要再次前往爪哇岛、重走伊真火山之旅——主要是因为我们想和Kim Kim及其团队再体验一次。
如果你打算前往伊真火山附近旅游,一定要通过Qim Qim和他的向导来预订行程。
千万别独自前往伊真火山。
**请跟随Qim Qim一同前往伊真火山吧。**
那里的山景的确令人叹为观止,但正是这些人让这段经历成为了我们全家永远珍藏在心中的美好回忆。❤️🌋🙏
