Arizta Quintasari
Hello, I’m Ari 😉. Born in Indonesia, lived in Germany for 10 years, and now I’m back on my favorite island, Bali. As a passionate traveler, diver, and nature lover, I’ve fulfilled my dream of journeying across Indonesia from west to east. From sunrise on Mount Merbabu in Java to spotting orangutans in Kalimantan and discovering untouched dive spots in Bira, Sulawesi - I’ve experienced the diversity of my homeland and love sharing its beauty with others.
Today, I live and travel with my three rescued Bali dogs and look forward to creating unique Indonesia experiences for you.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in travel throughout Indonesia and am familiar with all kinds of adventures -from hiking and exploring to diving and snorkeling. In addition to adventure travel, I also have first-hand experience traveling with kids, which helps me design thoughtful, comfortable, and fun itineraries for families."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I’ve always had a deep love for exploring, discovering places where few tourists go, creating unique experiences for myself and my friends. Over time, I realized not only how much I enjoyed it, but also how naturally it came to me. Now that I’m more settled in Bali and travel less than before, I’ve shifted into travel planning and advising so I can help others experience the same magic I’ve found on the road."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One of my most unforgettable moments was diving in Nusa Penida and finally spotting a Mola Mola, something I had dreamed of for so long. The entire day was perfect: we had the manta rays all to ourselves, the ocean conditions were amazing, and we ended the day exploring Nusa Penida with my first dog, Muku. It was one of those rare days where everything just aligns beautifully."
