Buyan Lake tours

This was a very interesting experience! Our professional local guide, Putu, led us through the rainforest, where we visited a local Hindu temple. She taught us about the various plants in the jungle and even showed us how to swing on the rainforest vines! After trekking through the rainforest, we took a canoe across Lake Tamblingan. Along the way, we had opportunities to take photos and experience canoeing. After crossing the lake, there was another spectacular temple to admire. Once the lakeside activities concluded, we rode in our guide's car to visit a coffee plantation (optional). There were many interesting plants and unique coffee flavors to discover. After the plantation tour, it was time for lunch. The included lunch was simple Balinese local cuisine, which tasted good, though the service was a bit slow. Finally, we navigated a somewhat challenging uphill path with steps to see the Banyumala Waterfall, which was incredibly spectacular. If you're prepared, you can even go for a swim. Putu also brought us bananas she grew herself, delicious sweet potato cookies, and sticky rice cakes, which were a bit like zongzi. Because we took our time taking photos, the tour was slow-paced, lasting from around 10 AM until 5 PM. Overall, I highly recommend it! Afterward, you can also visit the Ulun Danu Beratan Water Temple to catch a beautiful sunset.

Our northern Bali tour was unforgettable, thanks to our driver Buda—accommodating, and such fun to be with. Along the way, we explored historic temples and villages that revealed Bali’s rich heritage, each stop offering stories of the island’s past and present. With breathtaking scenery, cultural depth, and Buda’s wonderful company, this journey was truly a highlight of our trip.

Overall, a great experience despite a rough start. Our original driver didn’t arrive on time, and we waited almost an hour at the hotel, thinking we would miss the dolphin tour. Thankfully, Bily and his team took responsibility and quickly arranged a new driver, Kadek, a new car, and even a private boat to make up for the delay. The captain was experienced and got us quite close to the dolphins several times. We also had plenty of time for snorkeling. Kadek was friendly and helpful, and even brought us to a bonus stop to enjoy the lake view and see some monkeys. What matters most when travelling is how problems are handled, and the team made sure we could still enjoy our day instead of simply cancelling it. The only downside was the paid shower after snorkeling, which wasn’t very clean. Lunch was a little pricey, but tasty with a nice environment. Overall, a worthwhile and enjoyable trip. Thanks to Kadek, Bily and the team!

This is a fantastic tour. We reserved a private tour, so we don’t have to share the car with others. The driver, Hendra is very patient and gives many good advices. He arranged every activities timely and is an excellent photographer! The most important thing is safety. He has a good driving attitude.

It was a wonderful tour! Our driver, Martin, was truly kind and very flexible in accommodating our requests. We were able to visit everywhere we wanted to go, and he guided us with great dedication at each stop while taking so many amazing photos for us! It was an incredible tour well worth the price!! Thank you so much, Martin! 😭

Beautiful day, kind and caring driver, great trekking guide. Enjoyed the hike through the mountain villages and rice fields. waterfall great for a swim.

We had a wonderful trip with Mr. Gunawan. The car was always clean and tidy, and he thoughtfully provided water bottles throughout the journey. He recommended all the right places and made our trip extremely comfortable and hassle free, we didn’t have to wait in long queues anywhere. The views throughout the trip were absolutely breathtaking. Mr. Gunawan even helped us with money exchange, which was very kind and helpful. The highlight of the trip was visiting Ulun Danu Beratan Temple and Tanah Lot Temple. The rice fields were stunning, and he also took us to a beautiful rice terrace view restaurant with an amazing atmosphere and scenery. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bali!
