    This was hands down one of the best tours I’ve taken! Baliventur curated the perfect mix of nature, culture, and fun stops. I particularly loved the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, even though I may have eaten too much at the coffee plantation tasting. Big shoutout to our guide Komang for making it such a memorable trip

    Note to self: Clouds do not respect trekking schedules. No sunrise for us, but Baliventur made it worth it. Hot coffee at the top saved the day.”

    Hands down, the messiest fun I’ve had in Bali! I was absolutely covered in mud, but that’s the whole point, right? Baliventur’s guide made sure we all stayed safe while having a blast. My advice? Bring a change of clothes unless you like sitting in mud on the ride home.

    Everything was well-planned and stress-free. Baliventur nailed it. P.S. I had the best corn on the cob near Tanah Lot. If you’re going, don’t miss it!

    Baliventur organized a smooth sunrise trek. Unfortunately, clouds gatecrashed the party.

    No sunrise for us, but the coffee post-hike was life-saving. Guides were super friendly and motivating
