  1. JM

    Baliventur’s ATV adventure was a muddy masterpiece! I booked it to let loose, and boy did I! We zoomed through jungle paths, splashed into massive puddles, and even got a sneak peek at a hidden waterfall. The guide was super friendly and helped me when I managed to get myself stuck in a ditch (classic me). Only reason I’m giving four stars is because I underestimated how muddy I’d get. Bring extra clothes, folks! You’ll thank me later. But overall? 10/10 would ride again—and maybe skip the bush next time.

  2. PJ

    Climbing Mount Batur was breathtaking (literally). Baliventur handled everything well, but trekking at 3 AM is no joke. Bring snacks, wear layers, and prepare your legs for a workout they’ll never forget!

  3. DP

    My wife and I booked a private Ubud & Kintamani tour with Baliventur, and it was one of the best days of our trip. We started with the Tegalalang Rice Terraces, where the morning light made the whole landscape look like a postcard. After that, our guide Ketut took us to a local coffee plantation. We tried Luwak coffee (yes, the famous one made from civet poop)—surprisingly delicious!

    The highlight, though, was Kintamani. The view of Mount Batur and Lake Batur was absolutely stunning. We enjoyed lunch at a restaurant with panoramic views, which felt surreal. Baliventur also included a visit to Tirta Empul, where we learned about the temple’s spiritual cleansing ritual.

    Ketut was not just a guide—he felt like a friend by the end of the day. He shared stories about Balinese culture, answered all our questions, and even knew the best photo spots.

    If you’re looking for a hassle-free, fun, and informative tour in Bali, Baliventur is a no-brainer. I’ll definitely book with them again when I come back

    Absolutely epic! Baliventur made my first white-water rafting experience unforgettable. The guides were hilarious and professional, and the scenery? Mind-blowing. 100% recommend

  5. ET

    “Thought I was signing up for a peaceful river ride. Ended up screaming like a banshee through rapids. 10/10 would do it again!
