导游：Guide Agung is super nice and professional. He knows a lot about this land and showed us the birds and various plants in the jungle,He even made me a bracelet with rattan. Many stories are very interesting. If you love nature ,this would be a very meaningful hike. 徒步难度：It's a total distance of 2km.It's a bit muddy, but very simple for experienced people. and beginners can also choose the simple path. 风景：A very primitive jungle, the temple at the end is very beautiful.

Itinerary: The itinerary is quite reasonable, with a two-hour rainforest hike, a 20-minute boat ride, a one-hour lunch, and a one-hour free exploration of the waterfall. It's small and beautiful, just right, not too tiring but enough to be enjoyable. Scenery: It was my first time experiencing the scenery of rainforests and waterfalls, which is very special, especially with the rain and fog today. The scenery when taking a boat out of the rainforest was like being in a fairyland. Tour guide: Budu is a local and very familiar with the rainforest. She explained everything along the way, her English has no accent, and it was basically easy to understand. She was very interesting. Her ability to lead, explain, and guide were all excellent, and she was also very thoughtful, bringing us breakfast and mineral water, and raincoats for the rainy season, and buying special fruits. In the middle of the trip, when my clothes got wet, she even offered to let me wear her coat. Five-star praise! Hiking difficulty: Not too difficult. The rainy season makes the road muddy, and the shoes and pants are covered in mud, but it's still okay. I walked 10,000 steps in total, and people with average physical fitness should be able to persevere.

Thumbs up for the tour guide, he was enthusiastic and professional. The driver was also very sincere, helping us get out of the car to buy durian and bargain, and picked out the most delicious and inexpensive durian. If he hadn't been with us, we definitely would have overpaid. We felt the sincerity of the local hospitality. We also bought reasonably priced and very good coffee.

We were really looking forward to it because it's a UNESCO World Heritage site, but the driver overslept and we waited for an hour and a half. We had been contacting the travel agency the day before, and the travel agency staff kept telling us to relax. Indonesians' work ethic makes people worry. Later, the driver arrived, a very young man, and started speeding like crazy, meaning we had to cut short the time at many attractions. The first stop was the zoo, where we stopped for an hour. The driver started getting confused and only then confirmed that the ticket price was included 😓. The second stop, Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, was beautiful and worth visiting. We didn't eat lunch in between and rushed to the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, a World Heritage site, which were really spectacular and worth a visit. The fourth stop was Tanah Lot Temple. Strangely, the toilets inside still charged a fee, even though we had already paid the entrance fee? Finally, he took us back to Seminyak. The distances between stops were very far, and the driver drove very hard, so we thought we would forgive him. He also begged us to give him five stars, maybe because he's young and inexperienced. We can give him another chance, but waiting for an hour and a half in the morning was really infuriating 💢. Overall, it was a trip worth taking, but you still need to double-check the departure time with the driver.

Our guide Dedi and driver Buda were incredibly friendly. We hiked through the jungle, swung on a hammock, and learned so much about plants. The meals were delicious, the coffee was fantastic, and it was an absolutely worthwhile journey.

My 5-year-old son and I went on a day trip, and our driver and guide, Parwata, was truly a pleasure to be with. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. He shared a lot of knowledge about the different places we visited and was very informative about where we were going and how long it would take to get around, which made the day feel relaxed and well planned. We had a wonderful day filled with unforgettable moments, beautiful places, and many exciting experiences 😊 We learned so much along the way, and Parwata was especially kind and patient with my son, which meant a lot to me as a parent. We enjoyed every single part of the day and always felt safe and welcome. We would highly recommend anyone coming to Bali to travel with you, and we sincerely hope they are lucky enough to have Parwata as their driver and guide 😊

A very happy trip! The driver arrived at the hotel at 7 o'clock to wait and departed on time at 8 o'clock. We met our guide, Putu Karisna, at about 10 o'clock. Putu prepared mineral water and banana chips for us (and prepared fruit again after the monkeys snatched them), as well as a "lifesaving" bamboo pole. The weather was beautiful, sunny all the way, but it wasn't hot in the rainforest, only some of the roads were a bit difficult to walk. During the hike, Putu gave us explanations in English, which was very professional 👍. We learned about many plants, such as coffee beans, lemongrass, and orchid roots. The Twin Lakes and waterfalls were also very beautiful, and the final lunch was delicious, much better than the food at the hotel. I specifically bought an extra portion of corn chips 👍.
