Highlights
  • Barong & Kris Dance - Batubulan to see Barong ans Kris dance.

Batubulan others great claim to fame is trance - every morning at 9.30 sharp. Here you can witness the eternal conflict between Ratu Barong, the faithful guardian of community, who looks like an overdressed cross between a lion and a Pekinese dog, and the pendulous-breasted Rangda, denomic mistress of the graveyard. At the height of the drama, Barong’s entranced acolytes turn their serpentine-bladed krises upon themselves, ussully with no ill effect. Even the Balinese, who find a trance state easy to slip into, draw the line at trancing every day, so they have invented more mundane tricks to avoid being wounded by their sharp blades. The Barong dance, as the perfomance has recently been renamed for accuracy, is nonetheless an impressive spectacle, and it is not unusual for one or teo of the players to unexpectedly drop into a gunuine trance. Three very professional groups perform the Barong Dance each morning. Barong and kris dance is included in the bali nature holiday package that we offered to you.

Good planning and great guide - We had booked our Bali trip with Bali Nature Holiday for a week. Mr. Putu Mayong is a great guide. He helped us with the itinerary as well. We visited temples, markets, monkey forest in Bali, saw performances and shows, also visited Nusa Penida on a day trip. All the travel arrangements for the trip were timely, comfortable and good. I highly recommend to book your Bali trip with Mr. Putu Mayong through Bali Nature Holiday.

The Best Temple and Mt Batur tour ! - Wow what an enlightening day trip ! We did this tour on our last day in Bali and I must say we learnt more on this day than on any other day during our trip! Our driver and guide were both very lovely , efficient and flexible. We booked this trip before we left for bali and Mr Putu kept in touch with us the whole time leading up to the trip. He was very very accomodating and was able to adjust the trip as we wished which we were very very grateful for . Our guide Ketut was absolutely amazing. We learnt so much about the Balinese Hindu culture and me being Hindu - was very enlightened and learnt even more . He guided us and told us stories on the drives between places and taught us many many things that were priceless. An absolutely amazing experience , I love this tour as it covered all the temples we wanted to see ad well as Kintamani and Mt Batur which would have been another day trip otherwise. Lunch was perfect at the most breathtaking location with the best view of the volcano. Ketut also took lovely pictures for us as well . Highly highly recommend to all - have already recommended to all my family and friends . Thank you so much Ketut and team so for the perfect last day in Bali and for lifetime memories! See you next time!

Very long day, excellent dance and late lunch - Our guide was interesting. First, he looked like he hadn't slept for days. He acted a little punch drunk. Second, his English was so-so. He was a kinda funny little guy and we tried to make the best of it. The tour is jam packed, so be prepared for an insanely long day. The Berong Dance is absolutely fabulous and the lunch (4:00) at the volcano was as well. The temples were overly crowded and so many foreigners were just making videos for their social media. I was saddened by the disregard for the truly religious visitors who might wish to come and pray/mediate. The shopping was remarkable in the carvers, silver, and batik markets. We were not impressed by the forced tip required at Besakih Temple. The additional government guide provided was not super knowledgable and followed us to the car to receive his tip. He asked for more money when we gave him what we thought was appropriate for his poor tour. The peddlers there were super aggressive and shoved things in your hands. I am saddened by this experience to Besakih as I looked forward to it greatly.
