The trip was fantastic, living up to our expectations and more. Our guide, Yoga, was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The jungle trek, boating across the lake and swimming in the waterfalls were all awesome with all the local touches making it extra special. A very good day!

We had such a great experience!! Putu was our guide and he was amazing! Putu is very respectful and kind. We were so grateful to spend the day with him. It was really great to see and learn throughout the day and the food was so good! I highly recommend this to anybody.

The trek and canoe was amazing with breathtaking views! We did not see the waterfall sadly due to the weather but we enjoyed our trip overall. Our guides were very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive! They went above and beyond to ensure a smooth trip despite the weather. 10/10!
