I had one of the best days of my trip on this tour. The waterfalls and rainforest were absolutely stunning, and the canoeing was such a unique experience. What really made it unforgettable, though, was my guide, Yoga. He was so kind, knowledgeable, and genuine, he shared his stories with me and made the whole day feel personal and meaningful. I can’t recommend this tour (and Yoga!) highly enough.

This is a very, very easy jungle trek with clearly marked trails, suitable for most 5yos and older. It’s shaded and comfortable. The guide was friendly and shared interesting nuggets about the flora and fauna. The boat ride across the lake was safe and relaxing. The waterfalls are beautiful and not too crowded. Getting down to the waterfalls and going back up is quite demanding physically. But you don’t necessarily have to combine it with the jungle trekking; the tickets to enter the waterfalls is only IDR30K.

We had an absolutely fantastic time, the whole day was glorious. From choosing exotic fruits at the local market, breakfast at the warung looking out at the mountains to canoeing across the lake. Our guides were friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We learned so much about Balinese culture and history from Gedai and Elo taught us an heaps about the features of the forest and all of its flora and fauna and even made me a pandan crown. A truly magical authentic experience! We were also served the most delicious food for lunch in the village, it was a real privilege to see that side of Bali. The waterfalls were perfect and the swim was great. Would 10000% recommend.
