Great activities for the day, the staff rafting, atv & massage were amazing!
Our driver Wayan Balik went above and beyond making sure we were well looked after, it was our third trip with him as our driver and each day he took great care of us all
Brilliant morning of white water rafting. Staff were very helpful and provided great direction. Would recommend this company.
What an incredible experience from beginning to end!
The day was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and top-tier service. I was so happy with the day and how everything turned out.
The day started with a warm and friendly welcome, then set off for the thrill of Jet Skiing, followed by the breathtaking views of Parasailing. Both activities were professionally managed, and I have to give a special shoutout to the activity instructors, who were incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They made sure I felt safe and comfortable at every step, which really enhanced the whole experience.
Although I skipped the Banana Boat, I opted to pay extra for the Sea Walk, and let me tell you — it was 100% worth it! Walking on the ocean floor surrounded by colourful marine life was a surreal and peaceful experience. It’s something I’ll remember for a long time, the next step, scuba diving.
After all the excitement, I enjoyed a high-quality lunch that exceeded expectations. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and prepared with care. It was the perfect midday recharge.
Then came the cherry on top: a 2-hour Spa Package at Royal Orchid Spa & Resto. From the calming ambience to the expert massage therapists, every detail was pure bliss. I was welcomed with a cold towel and drink…I totally needed! Thalasso foot was, Balinese Massage, Lulur Scrub, Moisturizer, then the Flower Bath. I left The Royal Orchid Spa and Resto feeling completely relaxed and pampered. This is a MUST!
A very special thank you goes to Nyoman Parwata, my driver and guide for the day. Nyoman was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, making the entire experience even smoother. He ensured I reached each destination comfortably and on time, and offered great insights throughout the day. His warm hospitality truly elevated the whole adventure.
This was hands-down one of the best days of my trip, I did not have to think…I just booked and let everything happen. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of excitement, relaxation, and exceptional service, I highly recommend this experience — and especially with Nyoman as your guide!
Great day out. Wayan the driver was excellent, was punctual, clean car, very friendly and was knowledgeable of the area.
The rafting was such fun, I would definately recommend.
Nice friendly staff. Beautiful scenery down the river. Rapids are mild and were suitable for any age. Family loved it. Difficult walk down but even worse going back up the hundreds of stairs on the return. Need to be fairly fit. Our lovely guide carried my oar & life jacket and encouraged me for the entire walk back up. My calves are killing me still!! 🤪
A lively adventure experience, able to enjoy a challenging flow and surrounded by beautiful natural views, a team of experienced and professional instructors ensuring safety, facilities provided, including quality equipment and a comfortable rest area, friendly service and a satisfying experience
We went on a rafting adventure today with Guday as our captain and Nengah as our driver. Guday was great fun and took good care of us on the river. Nengah was knowledgeable and friendly. Our rafting was good fun, however the river was a bit low (April) so we got stuck a fair bit and it wasn’t very fast.
Thanks again guys!
