Lovely tour with the lovely guide Putu! - We had a lovely day with our amazing guide Putu! She was such a fountain of knowledge during this tour which made the experience so interesting. Putu talked to us about all of the flora and fauna in the jungle, showing us plants and explaining them. She explained Balinese culture to us, the religions and the different types of temples and symbolism. She also kindly gave us wooden hiking sticks to make our jungle trek easier! The trek was lovely and along the way we had some tea and traditional Balinese cakes that Putu had bought for us. We canoed across the lake which was peaceful and relaxing, before visiting Banyumala Twin Waterfall and Putu took some pictures for us while we were there. We then went to a lovely home stay belonging to Kadek and his family, and had a delicious Balinese lunch before heading back home. THANK YOU SO MUCH PUTU!! You made our day amazing and went above and beyond! Terima Kasih!!

Absolutely Amazing - It is truly impossible to clearly articulate how absolutely amazing this adventure was for our group of six. From start to finish, the adventures more than exceeded our expectations. Upon entering the cruise terminal, we were greeted by our driver, Youdi, who drove us safely approximately 1.5 hours to meet our tour guide, Agung, where our jungle trekking experience began. For about 1.5 hours, we hiked, mostly downhill, to see the TwinLake. Stopping along the way, we took in many beautiful sights along with learning the history behind these sights. My husband and I aren’t avid hikers, unlike the other four people we were trekking with, but that wasn’t a problem because Agung was patient and accommodating recognizing the abilities of all members in the group. Once we got to the TwinLake, there were canoes waiting to take us across the lake. To say the views were breathtaking, would be an understatement. It truly was hard to capture the natural beauty in our photos. There was a temple at the end of our canoe ride where we were able to take great pictures. Immediately following this adventure, we headed to Banyumala Waterfall. To reach the location where you enter the hiking path to the waterfall, we got to ride on mopeds…How cool! After taking some brilliant pictures at the waterfall, we jumped into the refreshing water to cool off. We had the most delicious dinner prepared by Agung’s family at the family home. Julia soup was our first course, and then for the main course we enjoyed homemade chicken, corn cakes, and a bean salad! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. We were offered coffee made from the beans grown on the family farm…such an unbelievably smooth cup of coffee! We were able to purchase a bag of beans to take home with us. Thank you to Agung and his family for providing us with a truly incredible and authentic experience during our time in Bali. After dinner, Youdi, our driver, took us safely back to the cruise port. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, and one that is unique and out of the box, this one is for you. We will cherish the memories from our amazing adventures forever! Please note insect repellent, although we didn’t encounter many insects, and trekking poles are provided.

Authentic tour with the nicest guide - I was taking the trip alone, as my husband was sick. They offered to reschedule, but our travel plan did not allow it. We had 1 hour walk in the jungle, enjoyed the short canoe trip accross the lake and saw two temples on the way. Then a short drive and descend to visit the waterfall. It was beautiful, not too populated and refreshing to swim. Before the end I got to enjoy delicious lunch at a local house. I also want to mention that my guide Luhde was one of the best things on this trip. We had very interesting conversations and she helped me to learn interesting things about the nature and culture of Bali.

An absolute highlight on our Bali trip - Today we were picked up from our accommodation by our driver Kommang, well on time, and met our guide Agung on the way. First we had a welcome drink and snack and then we were off. A wonderful trekking tour through a beautiful jungle landscape, a canoe trip with a visit to a temple and then to the waterfall. As the road was being repaired, we were taken by bike to a beautiful, refreshing waterfall. Afterwards we had an authentic meal with the family, which was simply extremely delicious, including a tour of the farm. We learned a lot about the way of life, the religion, the thoughts and feelings of the people. Exactly what we value. Incredibly authentic and family-like. Thank you for the wonderful day.

Marvelous versatile tour close to nature - Our driver arrived one hour before scheduled pick up and waited for us to finish our breakfast. The drive to and from the lakes takes between 1-1.5h, which our driver managed very comfortably. Our young guide Dedy led us through the half-jungle and noticed our interest in the vegetation and gave us a lot of information about the different species and how they may be used locally. The trail was easy to walk but very fun. After finishing the trail by crossing the lake where we enjoyed some snacks Dedy brought, we could have a look inside a lakeside temple. The hospitality and food at the balinese house were great for lunch. After lunch we visited a coffee plantation where we could try a variety of different coffees and teas before continuing to the waterfalls. In contrast to the majority of visitors Dedy recommended going to the smaller waterfall one in the back which we thus had completely to ourselves! Overall we had a great time and can recommend the tour especially with Dedy.

It only worth 3 stars - This is my second time to join this trip.First time with my husband and we have a wonderful memories.This time,i and my aunite and sister came back to Bali and join this tour again.It only worth 3 stars.First,we share a car with two person. My sister has 170cm and cannot seat well in the back.The legs cannot put well.The whole trip is 1.5hours and we cannot handle it.So we took a car by myself and paid IDR1,000,000 by ourselves.The organiser never say any words for that. For whole trip,I remebered last time,when we has a canoeing,the guide has many snack for local food provided.This time,nothing for it. We don't think it is a worth trip.Only trekking and canoeing has spent more than SGD100.All the transporation fee paid by ourseleves.
