We had a lot of fun during our rafting session. Our rafting guide was a lot of fun, even thought there were only two of us on our raft, we had a lot of fun talking too other groups also rafting, the views were also amazing.
Action packed day! Starting with breakfast at Kintamani was great. A beautiful spot to relax before the action. The bikes we were provided were well looked after and in great condition. The bike ride was mostly downhill so very easy. Our guide stopped multiple times to explain Balinese life to us even allowing us up close and personal into a family home. An enjoyable bicycle ride for not much effort.
Lunch was tasty then off rafting which our kids loved! We felt safe and our guide was strong! He made it fun for us! All in all it was a wonderful day!
I had a wonderful experience with this tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip really enjoyable. He took me to the best spots, explained everything clearly, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. I appreciate his professionalism and helpful attitude. Highly recommended!
I strongly advise you not to jet ski 2 minutes and it is accompanied by an instructor the banana 0 in addition there are no waves and if you ever want to jet ski 2 it is 80€ per person short to avoid
Had a great day. Weather was perfect. Day started and ended with an excellent driver Gusti eka who was very good with sharing his knowledge of his culture and customs with us. We also were very fortunate to have Katut as our master river guide. He made the ride so much fun. Thank you everyone that was involved in our day!!! I would highly recommend this excursion!!
This trip was exactly what we wanted. Made Wijaya was a good driver, he did his best with his use of English and tried very hard to give us a great experience. I would recommend him again. The sites we visited were very interesting and ge helped explain their importance. It poured with rain later in the afternoon and traffic was heavy for our trip home but it was a good time to rest. Thank you Made Wijaya!
Excellent driver service, and very friendly guides. Well priced and reasonable. Would recommend for anyone travelling.
