We took 1 day Bali Instagram tour and it was a amazing experience. Though the start is very early morning around 3-30 am but we enjoyed the whole day . The places are very nice and moreover the swing experience is unforgettable. Really enjoyed the tour

Highly recommend Komang! It's overall a fantastic experience despite lots of driving to several destinations that are fairly far apart. We got to see several bucket list attractions in one day, and got some great photos. Komang was helpful and kind, as well as very knowledgeable.

There are a lot of fish and it's fun. It's a sea that even beginners can do. I'm good at swimming, but I don't like the waves, so I chose Blue, and I'm very satisfied!!! The view for lunch was very good, and I enjoyed the coffee farm tour compactly! The pari driver is very kind and please take good care of your convenience. ‪ +62 857‐3852‐9685‬ I highly recommend you

I highly recommend snorkeling at Blue Lagoon!! Edi Lanus arrived earlier than the scheduled time, so there were no delays, and he drove safely, ensuring we arrived at our destination without any issues. He also shared information about Bali's history and delicious Babi Guling restaurants along the way, which was fantastic. I even visited the Babi Guling restaurant he recommended the next day 🫶🏻🫶🏻. I went snorkeling with Wayan Cek, and he safely guided my friend, who was snorkeling for the first time. He also taught me some freediving techniques, which I enjoyed learning. The weather was fantastic, so the water was incredibly beautiful and clear!!! The coral was sparkling and gorgeous, there were many fish, and we even saw a turtle!!!! 🥹 I requested photos, and although I haven't been able to download them yet, I'm unable to upload, but I know they were taken beautifully and diligently, creating wonderful memories. The Blue Lagoon team was very cheerful and helpful, making the experience enjoyable from start to finish!! Afterward, we visited Lempuyang Temple and took photos (after waiting for 3 hours...), and he waited for us while we took pictures and then safely drove us back to our accommodation. Thank you for the wonderful memories~~~~ 💕💕 If I come back again, I will definitely book here!! 👍👍👍

Wow, he was truly an amazing photographer! Roy, the local photographer, took such beautiful photos, and he even guided us with poses, making the photoshoot so easy. Looking at the photos, I keep thinking how glad I am that I went on the East Coast tour. I'm so happy to have so many great photos. Thank you, Roy! 😆👍🙏
