- Helsy767Adelaide, Australia46 contributionsMy family (3 adults and a 2yr old) visited the waterfall at 8.30am on a Wednesday and it was a perfect time to come. There was only a handful of people and we were able to get some lovely photos.
The steps down/up were not too hard, and there were plenty of places to stop for a rest and a photo!
The little bamboo bridges to cross the water were a bit precarious and way too dangerous for our daughter to walk on, so if you’re unsure on your feet, don’t attempt the crossing!
We were leaving just as it was getting really busy so we highly recommend getting there as early as possible to get photos without other people!Written 25 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The whole day tour was a revelation of THE Bali! The staff and everyone we were introduced to were so friendly and helpful in understanding each part of the day’s activities, such as stopping at rice paddies, visiting a host family compound with a tour of their farm, a coffee plantation, and an ancient banyan tree. A great breakfast buffet with a view of Mount Batur, weather permitting, and a delicious lunch at the end of the ride. Bikes and gear were provided as well as rain ponchos and refreshments. Very informative and pleasant! You are going to be amazed! A special thanks to our guide Wayan!

- cwk14Lafayette, CA12 contributionsOne of our favorite things we did in Ubud. It is a great way to see the countryside and learn about the culture. Our tour guide Gusti was awesome. We road through the rice fields and saw a traditional Balinese home.Written 20 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FridaMicaelaPuerto Rico291 contributionsWe decided to do the camping under Mount Batur to start the morning trekk.it was definitely a night/day to remember. We camped at the starting point of the trekk. Tents were already laid out for us with sleeping bags and mats inside. We enjoyed a dinner in front of the fireplace and we went to bed under the most beautiful sky with stars. At 3am we were awaken to have some coffee and start the trekk uphill. The view of the sunrise at the top of the volcano was amazing. They gave us a boiled egg and banana sandwich at the top for breakfast. We walked a little bit further up top to appreciate the hot steams after the sun had risen. After that we came back down and were driven to the hot springs to spend an hour in a “resort like” facility with stunning view to the lake. We skipped the coffee plantation included in the tour as we had already tried the luwak variety. Driver took us to have lunch and then to hotel.Written 18 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- agabholland10 contributionsIf you wish to rest from hectic streets of Ubud and still see the authentic part of Bali, we recommend the cycling tour. Our family declared this to be the best part of our 7days long Bali adventure! It gave us a great opportunity to see a real daily rhythm of Bali, experiencing hospitality of Balinese people at the Duk camp in jungle forest, smiling beautiful kids with curious eyes waving at us on our path and even to have a friendly encounter with giant spiders. All of this was done under watchful eyes of our very experienced tour guide YOGA and his friend. They accomodated this trip to our expectations and changed a regular schedule so we could see the Batur lake and vulcano from a viewing point. We managed to squeeze this relaxing half day trip into our intense and short stay in Bali. Surely, one of the most memorable moments to our family from this trip! Thank you, family from NL.Written 13 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Elissa L1 contributionWe had the most wonderful half day (ended up returning at 3pm though, amazing value for &!) trip to the Tegalalang Rice terraces, coffee plantation, bike ride through villages and rice fields (pretty much all downhill, safe and easy for all including younger kids), waterfall for a swim and finally lunch at the family home. And the lunch!!! By far our best meal for the trip, we loved how authentic and delicious it was, in a genuine home environment. Thank you Wayan, Nyoman and family for your hospitality. Wayan was our guide for the day and a wealth of knowledge, he even had the kids engaged all day. We would absolutely recommend this trip to others!!Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JennyMulgrave, Australia13 contributionsWhat a wonderful day out. Ubud, waterfall, rice terraces, monkey forest, coffee plantation, temple, jungle swing and delicious lunch. Thank you to Gusde, he provided a seamless day, he is very knowledgeable and was happy to answer all our questions! Highly recommend this trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bastionsPerth73 contributionsIt was an amazing experience. I had a tension remedy massage followed by a facial. 2 hours in total for the price of Aus $20. The atmosphere is not your usual sterile massage room. But a beautiful homely area. The rooms were immaculately clean and the masseuse gave me the best massage I have had in Bali. 10 stars. This place is a hidden treasure. Do yourself a favour and try it out.Written 16 February 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stefan D1 contributionAmazing service and a great day out for us! Went to 2 waterfalls and a rice terrace, and Balinese cultural and customs were explained to us along with all of our questions answered. We felt very comfortable throughout and were offered cold water and cold towels to cool off after walking around, highly recommended!Written 31 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jiyoo J2 contributionsWayan was a guide uncomparable to others during our trip in Bali.
From the get-go he was so helpful and responsive, he helped me plan our itinerary and worked with his extensive knowledge of Bali to make our trip the most amazing experience!
He treated the 12 of us like family, sharing stories about his life and about his culture; he even said we are welcome back anytime and called us his children 😊
He drove us around all throughout Bali : from Ubud to Mt Batur to Canggu to Uluwatu and always made sure we had arrived safe at home. He was always early and was patient with us when we were late or when our itinerary would go off course. He was so flexible with plans changing and helped us book experiences and suggested AMAZING local and popular restaurants. He also managed driving even when our group was split up (which is amazing!) and was a pro at navigating the Bali streets
He truly embodied expertise in his professionalism, while also becoming our friend over the course of a week.
I cannot stress enough how grateful I am of Wayan and will definitely be back to spend more time with him ! Thank you!!!Written 24 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
