 Nature Field Trip Report In Toraja

Hello guys ..
This is my second story on this blog. :)

I will tell you about the best tour experience with classmates.  The tour which until now still feels excitement, in other words, I failed to move on hehehe.

So... on Monday, October 21, 2019, we went to Toraja.  At 07.30, we gathered at the beloved campus, Makassar Tourism Polytechnic.  


After everyone gathered, we immediately boarded the bus and headed for Kupa Beach Restaurant, which is one of the restaurants in Barru Regency.  We were welcomed very well.  One form of welcoming is by 'Welcome Drink' which is served coconut water drinks.  Hmm, it tastes really good, it's my first time drink it hehehe.

At the restaurant, we also pray.  Next, we continued our journey to Bambapuang or Buttu Kabobo which is sometimes called 'Gunung Nona' in Enrekang Regency.  Hmm, you have to visit this 'Gunung Nona'.  Because you can see a very beautiful view from here.  Seriously.


In here we enjoy coffee breaks, fried bananas, and various kinds of food that we want to eat.  And here also we can get various kinds of Enrekang typical cakes.

After we enjoyed a coffee break, we continued our journey to one of the hotels in Toraja, the Indra Toraja Hotel.  We arrived at the Toraja hotel around 7 pm.


We rushed to take a shower and wear batik clothes to enjoy dinner at the penyet ria chicken restaurant.  After dinner, we conducted an evaluation between participants, tour leaders, and lecturers regarding the tour on the first day.  After that, we returned to the hotel and rested to have a sweet dream.

The next day, we were awakened by the hotel clerk via telephone at 5 am.  We rushed to breakfast.  In this hotel provides fried rice, omelette, white bread, tea, coffee, milk, and drinking water to enjoy.

After breakfast, we headed to Timenbayo by bus.  On the way, we met a truck that was stuck in a ditch.  We decided to help by pushing the truck car.  Alhamdulillaah, the truck can be used again.

Arriving in Timenbayo, we saw a traditional Toraja house and a rice barn.  And we heard explanations about it from our friends and lecturers.  And in Timenbayo, I could see buffalo for the first time in person.  Hehehe.  We take photos there.


Next, we started the trekking trip to Mentiro Tiku Restaurant.  Hm, it is said in the rundown that the journey to the restaurant will only require a little energy, because we will only be doing soft-trekking.  And in reality, we are like an adventure because the terrain is very challenging.


We pass through forests, mud, rock climbing and various other activities.  It was very tiring and made my legs hurt, but I was very happy, because I really like adventures.


Arriving at Mentiro Tiku Restaurant, I felt my struggle was not in vain.  Because I can see a very beautiful view from the restaurant.  Ahhh, so beautiful.


At the Mentiro Tiku restaurant, we enjoyed a Toraja specialty called Pa'piong.  Pa'piong is a food whose main ingredients are all kinds of meat.  For the Rambu Solo ceremony, in general, the Toraja make Pa'piong with the main ingredient being pork.  However, for some restaurants that provide Pa'piong, they make it with the main ingredient of chicken meat, because given the increasing number of Muslim tourists visiting Toraja.

After lunch, we continued our trekking.  We passed houses and Toraja graves.  And also we passed the Toraja people who were cutting pork in preparation for carrying out the Rambu Solo ceremony.

We also visited Erong Lombok Parinding which is one of the tourist attractions in Toraja.  In it we will find various kinds of human skulls that have died.


It was getting late and dark, we decided to go back to the hotel.  However, while on the way, we stopped by one of the souvenirs as well as a weaving place called 'Todi' in Toraja.

After that, we returned to the hotel on foot, because the distance was not far from the hotel we were staying.  Next we performed evening prayers and evening prayers for Muslims.  After that, we had dinner at Aras Cafe, which is the best restaurant in Toraja.  


After dinner, we sang together and created memories - very valuable memories for us. After various activities we did, we returned to the hotel to rest.

On the 3rd day, we returned to Makassar. We visited the Kaa Toraja Coffee.


And then, we visited the Laki Padada.
And then, we stopped at Bambapuang like the first day.  And we had lunch at Teras Empang Restoran, Barru Regency.  We continued our journey, and we had dinner at one of the restaurants located in the Grand Mall Maros.  


And finally, we arrived in Makassar around 9 pm.  Finally we returned to our respective homes.

This is the story of my experience in Toraja.  I recommend you to go to Toraja :) Because you can get a lot of things in Toraja ...
Thank you for reading ^ _ ^

Marine Field Trip Report In Dutungan Island And Paputo Beach

Well, Hello guys ... Assalamualaikum. How’s your feeling now? I hope you are alright. 
Usually, to know about someone, we must first acquaintance. So, let me introduce myself. My full name is Nur'aini Amanda Latta. My nickname is Aini. And this is my first blog.
Oh yes, I am studying at the Makassar Tourism Polytechnic, Department of Travel, Tour & Travel Business Study Program.
So, on October 5th – 6th 2019, we had conducted a Marine Field Trip for 2 days 1 night. We visited Dutungan Island in Barru Regency, and Paputo Beach in Pare-Pare City. Our trip was very pleasant.
Do you want to know? Hmm .. Alright, I'll tell my experience.
So, before departure we had done a simulation to become a tour guide. We were guided by our seniors named Sardika and Didit. They were very kind and exciting, we were also permitted to ask anything about them, and they gave tips and tricks on how to become a fun and exciting tour guide.

Ø  Day 1
On October 5th, 2019, precisely on Friday, we gathered in front of the orange building before 6:00 in the morning, because we will be absent at 6:00 in the morning, and for students who come past 06:00 in the morning, we will be given a sanction which we call a Warning Box (WB). And we were given a luggage tag to put on our respective backpacks.
At 07.00 in the morning, we immediately boarded the bus and sat according to the designated seats. And my seat position is in the right seat near the window. I am happy to be able to get a seat, because I can see beautiful scenes without being hindered by others. And it was very effective to overcome my sleepiness hehehe.

After everyone sat neatly on the bus, we were asked to appear as a tour guide on the bus during the trip in turn according to the scheduled performance schedule. We pay attention to each other's directions given by our friends.


Arriving at Jalan Perintis, we picked up one of our lecturers named Ms. Margaretha to look after and supervise us. After that, we continued our journey.
During the trip, we were asked to write inventory in the form of the names of hotels, restaurants and travel agents that we passed during the trip.
Arriving at Tanjung Indah dock, we were asked to gather and read prayers in accordance with our respective religions before boarding a boat to cross the ocean to get to the Dutungan island, and accompanied by advice from several lecturers, as well as seniors at the time become a Tour Leader of our trip.
At that time, we were divided into 2 groups to arrive at Dutungan Island. And I belong to 2nd group which means I can get on the boat after the arrival of 1st group on the Dutungan island.


Arriving at Dutungan Island, we were asked to change our clothes to be more comfortable to wear when doing water activities whether diving, snorkeling, or gymnastics. And we use gray clothes, black leggings pants, and accompanied by a direct dark veil. That is our dresscode for water activities.


And we immediately gathered after using the specified dresscode. We were gathered to listen the instructions from the instructor about diving and snorkeling so that we could carry out these activities according to the rules of the game, and so that undesirable things did not occur, such as accidents in the form of drowning, oxygen depletion, and so on.

The instructor said that we must pay attention to all the tools we will use when diving. Because diving is a dangerous second-order sport that can be life threatening. And we are taught how to use these tools in our bodies so that they are interconnected. And the instructor asserted that we cannot dive alone. And we are asked to always be careful in all conditions.
Furthermore, the call to prayer Friday was ringing. We as students were asked to take lunch rations to be enjoyed while waiting for men to finish Friday prayers. After that, we were allowed to do the Dhuhr prayer at the mushollah in the dutungan island environment.
After praying, we returned to the bridge to queue for diving and snorkeling.
I see friends who do diving, they are guided by professional instructors, they are guided in used diving equipment which they have previously made sure in advance that the diving equipment they will use is proper to use. Likewise with friends who do snorkeling, they wear life jackets on their bodies, frog sandals, and glasses that are used by someone who snorkels.





Finally the time for Asr prayer had arrived, so we hurried to clean our bodies and wear dry clothes again. After that we were allowed to do the Asr prayer. After that, we were asked to take group photos at some pretty spots on Dutungan Island.



And then, we returned by boat again to Tanjung Indah dock. And we returned to the bus and our respective seats. We headed for the hotel where we would rest. Namely the Delima Sari hotel in the Pare-Pare city.



We are allowed to clean up, rest, and make preparations for dinner. The dress code we wear at dinner is batik and black pants or black skirts. And at 19:00 WITA, we were asked to gather in the hotel lobby to get ready for dinner. We only need to walk about 5 minutes to get to the restaurant.
We also enjoy the food that was served to us with gusto. That's very delicious. Hmmm, it is very different from the food at the boarding house, which has noodles with eggs everyday hehehe. But remember we still need to be grateful how the situation.



After eating, we returned to the hotel to prepare presentation materials and make presentations about K3 and the trips we had taken all day. After that, we were asked to display a free display of each group. Some are singing while rocking, and so on.
After all the itinerary for that day we have done, we are allowed to rest in their respective rooms which are already listed in the distribution of the room list.

Ø  Day 2
Some of our friends were assigned to wake all the participants of this activity at 04.30 WITA to perform the morning prayer. After that, we did a morning exercise, and we visited the monument to the immortal love of BJ. Habibie and Ainun.


After that, we returned to the hotel for breakfast. The menu is also very delicious. Starting with bread, chicken porridge, and fried rice. The drinks also have tea, coffee and caramel which are also very tasty. And I chose to eat chicken porridge and coffee, so I was not sleepy when I continued my journey.
After eating, we were asked to get ready to leave the hotel. Because we will visit the Paputo beach in the Pare-Pare city by bus. During the trip from the hotel to Paputo beach, we still listened to friends who were assigned to deliver the guiding material.
Arriving at Paputo Beach, we observed and enjoyed this activity. We sing together, play, eat, tell stories and many other activities. My friends and I really enjoyed this trip, one of the ways we enjoyed this trip was by capturing moments in a photo and video J This was done so that we could recall the activities that we had done together.



And finally we went back to Makassar to end our trip. And we arrived at the beloved campus, Makassar Tourism Polytechnic in the afternoon on Saturday, October 6th, 2019.
